"Double buffalo with grass"

This is an 8 hour IDY dough.

Two bufala cheeses: mozzarella di bufala and Quadrello di bufala - which is a creamy, semi-soft cheese similar to Teleggio. The onion shoots, plucked from my garden this afternoon, represent the grass a buffalo might graze on. Crazy, crazy delicious.

If you are going to steal this for your restaurant, at least give me credit on the menu.

That is a beautiful and I have no doubt delicious pizza, but you do not want your milk cows grazing on onions.

"SIMPLY" perfect!! Was just wondering what a little fresh watercress would do too finish hot out of the oven. Mind you it NEEDS nothing but the fresh onion shoots reminded me of a time I was mushroom hunting and found a couple big patches of young wild onions and watercress within several feet of each other, morels were happily active that year too!!

Thanks all. This is one of my favorite combos right now. It is worth it to try it out. Use the smallest scallions you can find at the super market.

Jon - Fresh watercress sounds great.

Tom - Good call. Representational "grass" here only for the pizza.

All I can say is OMG this is a good pie. Mine was a little simpler that John's - call it singolo bufala con erbe. Topped with Mozzarella di Bufala and chives, a drizzle of evoo, and a pinch of sea salt, it was the quintessential subtle elegance. I think this makes my list of top-10 pies of all time.

Fantastic Craig! Great leoparding. I will give this paired down version a try, since the Quadrello is crazy expensive and won't be in my fridge that often.

I found some Tallegio cheese today and want to try this pizza out this weekend. I've got lots of tender chive in my backyard.

Just to confirm, looks like these pizzas are without sauce ... true?

John, this pie has become a serious contender for my favorite pie of all time.

Awesome Craig. It is an expensive pie with the bufala cheeses, but well worth it.
