food Pizza of the Month

[Booma]

Alright people, thought i'd start a new thread similiar to the Sandwich of the Month. Since there has been so many great pizzas popping up lately, why not make a special one, each month.

We could have a quick and small vote each month prior to it starting on type of pizza, toppings etc.

We can come up with a list of styles: and then also the subsequent flavours.

Napoletana
Neo-Neapolitan
Roman Style
Chicago Deep Dish
Foccaccia
Pita

If you are all keen we could start October with a Simple and Classic PIZZA MARGHERITA and come up with a poll for the next months

Thanks for the general layout TB.

Some rules.

1 ~ Meet the criteria to type/origin/toppings.

2 ~ List ingredients and methods of how the pizza was put together.

3 ~ No matter if it is a margherita or a deep dish, include a heat ingredient.

4 ~ Pics are mandatory. Talk is cheap. Show us the money!

5 ~ Let us know how you cooked it.

6 ~ Have fun.

Get ready to strat throwing those pies


NAPOLETANA PIZZA MARGHERITA

Plain and simple. Thin, crispy crust. Crushed Tomato Sauce. Basil Leaves. Fresh Mozzarella. Parmigiano, pecorion or Romano.

I like mine with that real nice craker type crust but it's not made from crakers just TLC.

 

[Chile Juju]

My biggest challenge is thin crust - but this sounds like a perfect opportunity to MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!

I've also never had a Pizza Margherita...but I'm getting used to this on the SOTM thread. I have some great examples to study on the LGP thread, but I'd like to see some more "experienced" entries before I attempt mine I think. October's gonna be TASTY!!!!!!

 

[JayT]

Oh no, another reason to make pizza. Oh well, ok, I am in.

 

[Born2Burn]

Alright, I'll be the first to post some teaser pizza porn...
Gettin ready for this one.
This one's for you Jedisushi. Thin crust..
Testing out a new way of getting the crust paper thin...
I think it worked..
Got the dough in the air. See light through it..

On the ghetto pizza sheet:

Just enough sauce to make it red:

Keep the sauce and cheese light:

Just fit:

Cooked:

On to the slice porn..

It came out so thin the only thing I could compare the "thinness" was the pizza cutter blade:

Xray view:

Lookin forward to many more pizzas..

Thats all from RoninKitchen, for now...

Translucent pizza = Thin crust soooo goodness.

Ok a little more info on pizzas styles:

May be a little too much, and just be easier to try do to a typical flavour or topping each month, but there is a whole lot of different style pizzas out there

Napoletana/Neopolitan Pizzas - Thin and crispy base, but with a soft and high crust/cornicone

Marinara: tomato, oregano, olive oil, salt
Margherita: tomato, mozzarella, olive oil, garlic, basil, salt
Al Formaggio: parmesean, lard, garlic, basil, salt
Calzone: ricotta, salami, olive oil, salt

Neo-Neapolitan - Thin and crispy base, high airy crust/cornicone

Sauce and Mozzarella (red pizzas)
Seafood
Anchovies
Meats
Pepperoni: Pepperoni, garlic, cheese
White Sauce Pizzas

Roman Style - Super thin base, crispy crust (cracker thin crust)

Marinara Sauce Base
Thinly sliced meats
Anchovies

Chicago Deep Dish - Thick and airy base, with a high crust, stacked with sauce and toppings

A slice is almost a small meal
Italian Sausage

Focaccia - More of a bread, but utilises some of the same techniques and flavours as pizza

Very simpler breads, little salt and either a single topping such as some peppers or olives

Pita - Very thin base and filled with toppings

More of a thin base with a filling such as spinach and cheese and then covered with another layer of thin dough and baked
