Dramatic build up continues...
 
Paulky what you got?
 
:rofl:
 
Let's just say......
 
You wake up one morning and you want BACON!.......a LOT of bacon....(3 pounds!)
 
Perhaps you intend to make BLT's.....(as we are)....or you just want to sit down and munch on crispy, pork goodness during a marathon of Breaking Bad...(it could happen)
 
Then.....you suddenly realize...."GASP!"....
 
I HAVE NO CLEAN PLATES!!!
 
:shocked:
 
NEVER FEAR!!......for....what IS a plate? 
 
A plate is a flat, usually round , vessel to transport your culinary creations from the pot to the table.....yes?
 
In my very best Monty Python voice...."What, other than a plate, is ROUND?"
 
PIZZA!!!!!
 
GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
 
Ladies and germs.......I give to you.....the EDIBLE PLATE!!!!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Oh yes.....I went there.
 
And guess what a Totinos Party Pizza tastes like after bacon fat has been soaking into the crispy top????
 
I don't know.......
 
But Bradley ate the whole thing. :P

Looks good, but You exaggerated a bit the amount of bacon? or it seems to me  :rofl:
 
Check the label.
 
I even did a bit extra.....cause that's what I do. ;)
 
I can do 6lbs the next time.....

I need to know if the cheese melted under the bacon, LOL ...
 
YES.....
 
Bradley was happy. What sticks to the plate.......belongs to the consumer!
 
a few pies out of the kitchen...
 
 
 
 
 

 
Some of the basic ingredients: A sack Caputo Metro Pizzeria Flour, Grande Whole Mozzarella, Provolone and the East Coast Blend (50/50 whole/skim), Dried Calabrian Chili's, Sea Salt, Basil, Whole San Marzano's and Crushed Tomatoes.....
 

 
The build to the "Lou".....a pie from the local establishment of Lou Malnati's.
Starts out with a butter crust dough (57% hydration with a combo of Leaf Lard / Clarified Butter)...slices of Mozzarella, Fresh Spinach, Mushrooms, dollops of millled San Marzanos, slices of Roma Tomatoes, 50/50 grated Mozzarella Cheese, shredded Mild Cheddar, and a dusting of Parmesan.
 
 
 
Finished unbaked pie in a 14" deep dish pan. Ready to go into a 425 F for 35 minutes.
 

 
Fork This !...........or just pick it up and eat it..................... :)
 

 
Next pie with a 16" cutter pan,  Garlic infused Olive Oil Dough, Pepperoni, 50/50 blend Cheese, Roasted Anaheim Chili's, San Marzano Tomatoe's, Dried Calabrian Chili's and Oregano.
 

 
Baked at 375 F for 20 minutes. The Roasted Anaheims gave this an extra lift in flavor
 

 
Dessert pie..........2 types of Pepper Jelly, Applewood Bacon, Salted Caramel and Ricotta Cheeses, 
 

 
Just enough Bacon....with minimal other ingredients...
 

 
Baked at 550 F on a preheated pzza stone placed on the deck of the oven for 10 minutes.
 
more pies next weekend !
 
Those last two posts are both what is great about this site.  We have polished artisan pizzas, and then we have a Totinos pimped with a ridiculous amount of bacon and they are both awesome!  
 
Now y'all know why I started this thread.
 
Pauly gets extry points for posting a pre-made pizza as a "plate".
 
And then he bacon bombed the thread.
 
That's military.
 
Adapt.
 
Improvise.
 
Overcome.
 
And PIC's pizza's are simply the sheeit!
 
Have mercy!
