Pizza De Mayo 2013

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Pizza De Mayo happens during the second week of May every year. When you choose to celebrate it on that week is up to you. Margaritas are, of course, entirely optional.

Due to a whole lot of weird crazy stuff happening in my life that I won’t get into,
I’m having to postpone my Pizza De Mayo this year.

The important thing is that you have Pizza De Mayo… SOME TIME IN MAY!

Don’t go doing that weird Mayfest type thing where they hold it in June, or Octoberfest in September. Just don’t.

Deep Dish-Cember and Year-end Food Porn!

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Over this past year…

Many deep dish pizzas were made…  and eaten.
An oven was replaced.
A dough recipe was perfected.
Many meats and cheeses were used.
We even used a few vegetables.
Some chances were taken with gourmet ingredients.
Heck, we even put BBQ on a pizza!
We learned a lot about deep dish pizza, love and loss,
and in a way, we learned a lot about ourselves!

Aw, screw all that!
Here’s some deep dish pizza food Pr0N!

Happy Chrisma-Chanu-Kwanza-Mardis Gras,
Everybody!

Research and Development means: New Pizza Food Pr0n!

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

I’ve been working on the first installment of “Deep Dish 101″ , which is coming very soon.  In between compiling, revising, adding new information, and catching all the pizza shows they’re showing on The Cooking Channel,
I managed to get in a little hands-on pizza R&D, just for you!

I just saw Tony Gemignani pretend to know how to make Chicago Deep Dish!
You don’t do two layers of cheese and sausage! WTF was THAT, Tony?!?
Dude, just stick to what you know!

Sorry, I got distracted by televised blasphemy. Here’s the Food Porn!

First, I give you : Traditional Italian Sausage Deep Dish with half Pepperoni;
Crushed Garlic pressed into the dough under the sliced mozzarella.

Next, we have what I think I’ll call a Chicago Shallow-Dish; it’s not quite a Chicago style thin crust.
Using the same dough you’d normally use for a 12″ deep dish, I’ve spread it out into a 14″ round pan.
Half Baby Spinach with Garlic (pre-cooked) / Half Pepperoni.

Shredded Parmesan and Romano pressed into the dough, an uncooked tomato sauce seasoned with salt, sugar, basil, and sriracha hot sauce.  Topped with shredded Cheddar/Mozzarella cheeses.

Smoked Italian Sausage & Pepperoni Deep Dish Food Pr0n

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Remember when I smoked that brisket (that I only got a sandwich picture of)
and those ribs (that I posted a photo from LAST year’s attempt) that I cooked a little while back?
Oh right… that’s the OTHER blog.
Well, those of you who read that post might recall that I also smoked some sausages at the same time.

Here’s the last of the 6-hour smoked Italian sausages from that meaty endeavour,
sliced up and put into a deep dish pizza along with a few pepperoni slices.
Mozzarella and Provolone cheese bubbled up a bit to the top
and the sausage and pepperoni slices have a nice char on them.

A successful first attempt at merging bbq and deep dish -
6-hour-smoked italian sausage (and pepperoni) with provolone and mozzarella.

Deep Dish Food Porn – June Edition

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Look what I found on my digital camera!
Here’s some photos of a deep dish pizza I made last week:


To get the charred outer edges, I started with a standard deep dish crust, which I covered with sliced mozzarella and sliced cheddar all the way out to the edges and up the rim of the deep dish pan.

This pizza was a super-combo, containing:
