Neapolitan bakesale

Thank you Larry!  It was a take on Don Antonio's pesto pie - pistachio pesto, hot fennel sausage, fresh mozzarella. 

I have never done the pre/par-bake method before and I was pleasantly surprised with the results.  I only 2nd bake it for about 15 secs at most, and this also includes the lifting, turning, and doming of the pie, etc.  I just had to be careful inserting the turning peel underneath during the first few secs since the pie sticks a bit to the floor but will release after about 5 secs or so.

What an incredible job you did for a fabulous cause! I love that you tried out a par-bake scenario and it worked. It shows real mastery. Beautiful children as well!

Got it, thanks so you are par baking the whole pie as shown Duh sorry, I thought maybe you were parbaking the skin only. Did the pies every see a refriderator? or you made that morning transport and reheat?  The Pita effect would be as when I  do the nutella pie you put a stretched skin in and it blows up and you cut it in half also used for pita sandwiches
LLarry let me know your results on the par bake as well please.
thanks !

Thank you very much John!  I just had to find a way to get it done and I'm just glad the people there loved it.

Yes, Larry, but I used some blanched basil instead of parsley.

Got it with the pita effect.  I made the pies just like I normally would except that I pulled them out earlier.  After I made them, I went straight to the event.
