This month's challenge is inspired by the brilliant quattro funghi racchetta. that dellavecchia submitted for last month's challenge. Make a new pizza this month in a unique shape with some kind of purpose in mind (aesthetic, functional, culinary, military, etc.)

Didn't turn out as pointy as I wanted but I got the topping right. Pig skin or here in Mexico chicharrónes. Pork rinds, I crack myself up

Pun intended?

But of course dear fellow, the pièce de résistance.

I borrowed from my German background for this pizza tart. I thought maybe some folks would spot it's heritage. Speckzelten (speckplatz) was a tradition in my house growing up. I know my mom and grandmother didn't use a homemade BBQ sauce and Manchego cheese in theirs but I think they might have liked it.

Lol Norma, I knew you would do a heart shape pizza.

looks great! Another funny thing, my local supermarket stocked up on heart shaped pans, today there was not a single one on the shelf.

Don,

How did you know I would do a heart shaped pizza.

Thanks for saying the heart shaped pizza looks great. That is funny that your local supermarket ran out of heart shaped pans. I guess everyone is getting ready for Valentine’s Day.

Norma, good looking pizza. I'm sure we all expected the heart shaped pizza, but way to send it over the top with the pepperoni!

I've been wanting to do a pan pizza for a while, so I'll use the monthly challenge as an excuse to eat a rectangle.
This is the Sullivan Street Funghi Pizza - really easy dough to make, and nice crispy (and oily) bottom. Altered the classic pie by substituting tarragon for fresh thyme. Cremini, onion, salt, and red pepper flakes. Good all the same.
Lots of <3 February!!

Pignolius, your funchi pie looks great too!

Craig,

That was sweet!

Thanks. How did you make those little hearts?

In MS Word, Insert Symbol --> Normal Text --> pick the heart, insert it into the document, copy it there, and paste it here.
