Holy moley Husker!!!!!!
 
For your sake, I hope that tasted as good as it looked!!! Helluva first TD!!!
 
Thanks frydad.  It was killer.  I have to admit, I went heavy on the sriracha so the wife would tap out after one slice.  No worries, I made a plain ole sauce and mozz pie for her and the kids.

Jay T's Meat and Taters Pizza
 
Dough:
2 Cups AP flour
1.5 Cups 00 flour + more for dusting
1.5 Cups 101F water
2 Tsp yeast
1 Tbs honey
1 Tbs sea salt
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tsp garlic powder
1 Tsp paprika
1 Tbs Italian herbs
 
Sauce:
1/2 cup flour for roux
1/2 cup butter for roux
1 pint heavy cream
2 Tbs white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
5 cloves galic chopped
2 Tsp homeground horseradish
1 Tbs dried basil
sea salt to taste
dash of nutmeg
 
Toppings:
tenderloin steak cut into tips (I marinated this steak in soy sauce, olive oil, seasoned pepper blend, and worchestershire for a day)
Yukon gold potatoes thinly sliced
caramelized Vidalia onion
mozzarella cheese
fatalii thinly sliced
piquins halved
shaved parmesan
chives
basil oil drizzle
garlic fire oil (bhut) brushed on crust/
 
I started by making the dough, letting it rise for an hour and half, then punching it down, dividing into two and cold proofing overnight.  Today, I started with the horseradish cream sauce while it was reducing to the right consistency, I started caramelizing the onions over low heat for about an hour.  Next, I pressed out the dough and covered it with the sauce.  I topped it with sliced whole milk mozzarella, thinly sliced the Yukon golds and placed them on the pie.  Then came the caramelized onions, thinly sliced fatalii, and piquin halves.  I basted the crust with the garlic fire oil and put the pizza in the oven on 450F.  I then fired up the heat on the same pan I cooked the onions down in and browned them for just a minute so they will remain medium rare. After the crust is golden, the cheese is just starting to brown and the potatoes are cooked through I pulled it out and brushed it again with the garlic fire oil.  Placed the tenderloin tips back on the pie and shaved the parmesan.  Topped with chives and drizzled with basil oil.

Mmmm, loved the saved parmesan.
 
5-O, you know him, my bro, he took me to a hole-in-the-wall bbq place in urban Atlanta for lunch. It's called Fox Bros.
TB, pay attention. 
This place was started by couple of buddies who came from Texas. They brought their traditional recipes, and the locals LOVE IT!!!
It's highly rated, always crowded, very innovative, yet "divey" and awesome at the same time. 
For a side dish, amongst mac and cheese and collards, they had Frito Pie!! Served in the bag of chips!!! It is AWESOME!!!
The chili uses smokey BBQ meat as the protein. No beans. (damn right). I smoked some spare ribs and the meat melted off for me. Perfect.
I got ahold of their recipe and decided that it needed to be made into a pizza. 
 
I made a yeast dough that is part flour, part masa. And I rolled REAL FRITOS into the dough!!! BOOSH!!
Olive oil and cheddar are the only initial toppings. Then it gets a scoop of chili, sour cream, red onion, cilantro, and another sprinkle of cheddar.
This was really really tasty!!

Wait. You made the Frito pie... literally into a Frito pie? Holy fucking genius!!!!!!
 
Frydad's Frito Pizza Pie
 
Frito pie, by itself, is a thing to behold. 
I brought it to the Pizza Stratosphere...and it WORKED!!!
 
Here's how I made the chili:
Olive oil, butter,2 C onions, 1 C serranos...sauteed
Add 24 oz crushed Tomatoes, 32 oz beef stock, 5 T chili Pow, 1/2 T each garlic, onion, smoked habapeno pow, sugar. 1/4 t cumin.
Let simmer. Add 1 lb smoked meat (i used spare rib, off the bone). Let it marinate for a good hour or two.
 
The dough was 1 T yeast, 1 C AP flour, 1 C masa flour. Some salt. Let it do it's magic for a few hours. Roll into 2 thin rounds.
Add a bag of Fritos on top of one. Top with the other...roll them both until thin, sandwiching the chips in between. 
Top with cheddar cheese and olive oil, cook on pizza stone at 500 for 8 minutes. 
 
Slice, top with chili, add diced red onion, cilantro, sour cream, serranos, and more cheese. It was so good!!!

I will be trying this out soon!
 
I thought I'd stick to Italian as I am 1/4 Italian.  (The other 3/4 is Scot and they sure as stuff don't make pizza.  No haggis on mine please lol)
 
I wanted fresh, delicate flavours so I thought I'd go with summer in Italy.  Light, fresh and sun in the wind.  All my shopping was done at a local Italian supermarket / deli / cafe / bottle shop / awesome shop :)
 
Ingredients and PoL
 
Peroni for the chef, fresh mozzerella (almost cream lol), San Marzano tomatoes,  unfiltered extra virgin olive oil, 00 flour, fresh basil, baby capsicums, fresh Italian sausage, fresh shaved proscuitto, parmigiano reggiano and a red hab.

Dough.  Medium-high hydration.  Gets a bit sticky to work with but well worth the effort and the only way to roll imo for a pizza
 
PB051581.jpg

 
San Marzano pomodoro reduced to a nice consistency.  Ultra thin pizza base and rolled edges.

Ingredients to one of the finest thin crust pies I've tasted
 

 
I used a sheet pan cause I'm pretty Sheet faced.....This ones has holes, I normally use for Focaccia Bread
 

 
Rolling the dough into a rectangle.
 
.
 
Ah.....close enough, I'm running out of time ! It makes it easier to put this on the sheet pan if you roll-it on the pin-ner
 

 
Un-roll the dough onto the sheet pan
 

 
Cut dough to fit, add marinara, scatter minimal cheese
 

 
Add remaining cheese and blot with sauce. Bake at 340 deg to get a uniform bake......yikes look at the time !

Plating with the usual sides of shakers.......I didn't have any Brooklyn Brew, but this pie is sure "Stardom". So I paired it up with a "Shiner"
 

 
Close-up of the "Melt".......I was happy to make this one....
