My wife bought some Ciabatta bread and wanted to do something with it...I suggested Panini Sammies, she said, "We don't have a Panini Press"...I just smiled.
The Personal Pizzas are for the kids.
First up, soften up some veggies, about 30 minutes at 250
Here's the Ciabatta bread and ingredients: Onion, pepper, mushrooms, Garlic-cayenne Olive oil, sliced mozzarella, tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, and left-over Tri-Tip. The onions, etc were also softened on the grill.
The Ciabatta bread was butterflied, brushed with the olive oil, and the ingredients were layered on.
Pizza ingredients were assembled, sauce, cayenne, tomatoes, basil, Tip-Tip, shredded mozzarella, and crusts. Not pictured: pepperoni, chopped smoked bacon, and sliced pineapple.
On to the wood fired oven, set to high (~425 today). The homemade panini press is shown: Grill Grates and a brick, perfect! Cooking time was about 20 minutes.
The grill marks would be even more pronounced if the brick had been on the whole time, (thought of it about half way through)
These turned out great! Cripspy outside, gooey inside. My wife has already bought more Ciabatta bread.
The rest of the pizzas were thrown on...the best part of these 8" pizzas is everybody got to choose their own toppings.
A simple and fun dinner!
