Giving Stuffed Pizza a Go...

DBarton02

After a successful cook with some steaks and shrimp, I figured I'd give stuffed pizza another run. 

Made a simple crust/dough recipe:

1 Packet of Active Dry Yeast
3 1/2 Cups of AP Flour
1 Cup of Warm Water (110 deg.)
2 TBSP of Olive Oil
2 TBSP of Garlic Powder
1 TBSP of Basil
1 TSP Sugar
1 TBSP Salt

Threw it in the Kitchen Aid with the dough hook till it came off the bowl and then kneaded another 5 minutes.  I let it rise for 2 hours, rolled it out thin, spread room temp butter and more garlic powder on the surface, then rolled it up (like a cinnamon roll)...  The big green craig method.

After laying it in the cast iron skillet, I added some cooked hot and sweet Italian sausage, sauteed onions, orange and yellow bell pepper, capicola ham, and thin salami, and hot calabrese.  From there, I put the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, more garlic powder, basil, then covered it with another thin rolling of the dough.  
I topped it with a store bought marinara some more parmesan, bacon, and red peppers. 

I've got the egg at 400 degrees and am hoping this will turn out right in about 40 minutes... 

Fingers crossed (and pictures attached)

Cheers!

Damn. Solid. Sliced shot? Good work

That's more like an open faced supreme calzone and it looks great.  Were the slices solid and did the crust crisp up?  I'm planning on baking calzone this week, but I'm interested in your pie.  Do you have any sliced shot?

Was too busy eating... Haha
the crust crisped up-was a little flimsy on the bottom so it was a little difficult to get out.

Still hit it on the head, I think.

PLEASE tell me you have a sliced shot?  Either way nice job.  I definitely need to try this.

Looks great!
I wonder if you could put it together in a preheated cast iron pan.  It might help the bottom crust.

Heres a a slice shot...
I think I rolled it too thin in the middle, which screwed up the bottom.
