Bye-bye, Miss American pie??????????
« on: July 01, 2007, 12:08:57 PM »
We've probably all heard of he song "American Pie" from Don McLean right? Ever wonder what the lyrics really mean? Here's the chorus from the song: (sing along if you like)

They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye (pizza??)
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."

Look at the lyrics and it becomes obvious that "Them good old boys" were "cruzin and boozin" and most likely filling their gullets with an American classic rye pizza. I just hope they had a designated driver! :-D ba-doom, ba-doom!

The song and lyrics gave me the inspiration to tackle another American classic pizza made with 1/3 stone ground rye flour. I made a rye sourdough preferment and let the dough counter rise for 8 hours. I cooked them in the Little Black Egg for 3 1/2 minutes.

Why rye?  Rye not?..........Villa Roma

Villa Roma,

I recall that you mentioned rye flour recently in another thread but I couldn't remember where I read of the use of that flour in a pizza dough. It came to me today--it was Alice Waters of Chez Panisse. I gave her particular dough recipe some time ago at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,524.msg17409/topicseen.html#msg17409 (Reply 128).

As usual, your latest pies look great.

Thanks Peter....I like the rye flour better than the whole wheat. It doesn't have a strong flavor like WW. I may try mixing 50/50 rye and WW next time. The link you provided was an interesting read.

Nice pictures!
I'm not sure what a rye crust would taste like.  If I were to called upon to make a rye dough, I would probably dress it with some well rinsed sauerkraut, sausage and onions and call it the Slovak.

There are actually a fair number of pizza operators who offer a Reuben pizza, as noted here, for example, http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?p=6721#6721. For some possibilities as to the crust, also see http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?p=6996#6996.

I realize this is an old post, but I wanted to point out that rye is actually referring to Rye Whiskey.  It used to also refer to just about all Canadian Whiskey, but not any more.  Around Canada you will hear drinks called "Ginger & Rye" or "Rye & Coke" which is the same as Ginger Ale & Whiskey or Whiskey & Coke in the US.
