Pizza - L&B style

[Deb]

Pizza!!!

On a pizza forum that I read they are working on reverse engineering a pizza from a restaurant in Brooklyn - L&B Spumoni Gardens Pizzaria. It is a sicilian style but it is a little different than most sicilian pizzas since the cheese goes under the sauce. I have been playing around with it a little. Last night I mixed up the dough, let it rise for an hour, into the fridge until today.

Here is the crust pressed out , some fresh mozz torn up and some sliced dry mozzarella, oregano, garlic and crushed red pepper

Sauce (cento italian tomatoes drained and buzzed with handmixer) over the cheese, some vermont cure smoked pepperoni on 1/2 , romano over all and a little drizzle of olive oil

Into the MAK preheated on high for about 20 minutes

out

slice served with salad

and with a fat tire (little unplanned trip to Baltimore last weekend yielded one case FT)

Enjoy

That looks phenomenal Deb! Love the freshness of all the ingredients, definitely going to have to give that sauce a try.

need to play with it a little bit more. first try was great - thick but not heavy - it was nice and light inside (but not fluffy) . this try I added some white whole wheat and changed the AP to high gluten ratio on the white - it was good but a little heavier. I also need want to get a blue steel pan to try.

that pizza looks unreal. Do you get very much smoke flavor on it? Please pardon my ignorance but what is a blue steel pan? Is it like a cast iron?

they are a dark steel pan that the pizza places use. heavier than aluminum but I am pretty sure not as heavy as cast iron

Fabulous. Deb you are the Pizza Queen!




Can you get Fat Tire in CT now? We can get Yuengling now, but still no Fat Tire.
