Craig,

Your Pulcindillo looks like he is having fun and doesn’t look like he is about to pass out.  ;D His big feet just got in the way with the wine. 

Great job!  :)

Pulcinadillo and I were probably a little too sauced to be baking last night, but that's never stopped us before. The pies turned out a little on the "rustic" side, but as best I can remember, they were pretty good. I hardly worked the dough at all and did not ball it tight. It was VERY relaxed and viscous - note to self, if you are going to drink a lot, make more elastic dough...

62.5% HR Caputo
3.0% Salt
1.7% Ischia

24 hours in bulk at 60F, 12 hours in balls at 60F, 10 hours in balls at 78F. I didn't check the oven temp, but one of the boys was timing and said the bakes were running about 80 seconds.

I had been balling at 275g, I knocked it down to 250g last time, and these balls were 225g. I liked this size.

1) Margherita
2) Mozz, mushroom, parm, black pepper, white truffle oil (post bake)
3) Mozz, Brussels sprouts, pancetta, garlic, EVOO
4) Dry, WM mozz, tomato, pepperoni, jalapeno
5) Dry and fresh mozz, tomato, Calabrian chilies in oil, fresh basil (post bake) - best pie of the night
6) Dry WM mozz, sopressatta, kalamata olives
7) Mozz, Brussels sprouts, pancetta, garlic, EVOO
8] Margherita

If you start making brusselssproutcellos then we know that you may have a problem.

Craig, I think the 3rd pic (Brussels sprouts) is the best-looking sprouts pie you've made!

Thank you Marlon. I agree. It has been a tough one for me to get where I want it.

What is it about "rustic" that almost makes them look more delicious?  These were also a bit more well-done and/or charred than your usual, which has it's appeal.  It's nice to see an aesthetic master have an off night, but they still look like they were amazing to eat!
