High wire act
« on: September 09, 2012, 10:23:12 PM »
I normally make six pizza doughs but I usually end up wasting 2 or 3 of them ( rare that my family will eat the left overs... although I do  ;D)

Anyway... I decided I was gonna cut things in half and only do 3 pies.  Nice plan for a Sunday evening.  

Well as luck would have it I dropped the first one... Never had that happen before but I was leaning over to grab a cutting board and it slipped right off the peel... DAMN >:D

Here are the other 2 though... they turned out pretty good

+1

I've lost one off the peel too. I was putting it on the plate and the next thing I knew, it was upside down on the Garage floor.

They both look like pro pies. Very nice leoparding.

I have dropped a total of 6 pizzas over the last two years. All were dropped in the act of pulling them onto the peel from the marble. Very frustrating.

Those look excellent.  Very professional!

I haven't dropped one yet.  I'm more likely to tear one while turning it and have a burning mess on the deck...

Thanks everyone... coming from all of you that is quite the compliment  :)

I was on a little shortened notice for pizza time but they seemed to work out OK.  I used ADY instead of my starter.  You definitely could tell the difference in the taste of the crust but for some reason the crust was more tender?  I was happy but could not figure why.  Oh well even a blind squirrel finds a nut once and a while.... ;D

By the way Ev... I would have eaten that pie any day... floor or not :-D

Do you cook the chicken before putting on pie.. if so... how?   I'm gonna have to try that one

Well, I would have considered eating it anyway, but It was outside at a campsite. There was more than just a kitchen floor to deal with.

Yes, I grill mesquite marinated boneless chicken breast til almost done. I then cut it up and marinate some more with a little extra red pepper. The sauce is garlic alfredo.

I love these pies, especially the arugula!  Are those olives with the arugula or I'm just seeing things?

The last pie I dropped upside down was for my 5-yr old and you can imagine how mad he got because that was the last dough I had.

Was baking the last pie of the day on Kelly's inaugural Baltimore Farmer' Market stand.   I watched it like a hawk, had hungry people watching as I turned it, checked the underside, gave it another 20 seconds, then lifted the LBE dome, scooped the pie with the peel, and then, with all the finesse of a master lacrosse player, lobbed it 5 feet directly ahead and straight onto the ground. 

"OH SH_T" I said, and the hungry people just had this devastated lost-puppy look as they realized this culinary masterpiece was ant food.

I'd rather eat one good meal a day than 3 squares of garbage.

Man Marlon... you have a sharp eye.  Those are actually chopped pistachios that I put on post bake with the arugula... Tasty.
