Chris and I decided we were going to have a pizza making competition! We did this quite some time ago, even before we went on our trip, and I never blogged about it! I cannot for the life of me remember everything we put on the pizzas, but I remember they were as my husband would say, scrumdidilyumptious. ha-ha I don't even know if that is how that word would be spelled, if it even is a word. Chris made a stuffed crust pizza with fresh mozzarella, and he used a bisquick dough, which gave it a very flakey almost like a dip dish pizza. I hate dip dish, to me, it's to much dough to everything else ratio, but oh my, I absolutely loved his pizza! We both made pepperoni pizza's with fresh mozzarella and pepperoni from Trader Joes. For my dough I made it out of bread flour, yeast, water, salt, the basic pizza crust recipe. I got the opportunity to finally break in my dough hook on my kitchen aid as well! We used store pizza sauce, if we had more time as well as fresh tomatoes I would have wanted to make my own tomato sauce, but hey, when you are hungry, you are hungry damnit! I did a very thin crust, and it came out well though, I want to try hand tossing, I have always been to afraid to try it. We were pretty hungry when we began so I didn't want to risk ruining the dough. We both used plenty of garlic. :)
Ok.... so I am going to admit something to y'all.
Ready?!
I made an ammature mistake... I didn't flour my pizza stone... and the crust stuck bad. Getting the slices off was a nightmare, but Chris did it. I probably ruined the pan... good thing it was a cheap one and not that William Sonoma one I said I wanted. Oh goodness. *Shakes head* Well the good thing about mistakes are, after you make them, typically you don't make the same ones again. That's right people, lets learn from my mistake. <_<
I think I made a kickass pizza still flavor wise, but Chris' pizza I think was pretty amazing, it's a close call, I say he won. :) I wish we could have taken his stuffed crust, put it on my dough (and have it not stick) and then take my cheese filling, with his meat filling and put it all together. Now.... for the best part, pictures!
