I have been watching all of you guys and your amazing pizza cooks and I knew I had to o get back on the kettle pizza train. The only problem is dough and yeast are like my Akilis heal. See I grew up cooking, but yeast and dough, yeah never worked with it. I bought the 'OO' flour last summer to make pizza and it was the only cook from last summer's to cook list that didn't get done. So I decided I was going for it on the Fourth of July, but then we got me niece and spent the whole day at the pool, so no pizza. I told myself I was going to do this, so last night I started the dough.
My bird was very interested in what was going on.
Tonight I got home and got to work.
Here is what the dough looked like today.
Here is my set up (I took this picture post cook for full disclosure).
First pie.
Here is the bottom.
The second pie was much more round and pretty but I did not get a pic of the whole pie just the slice and the bite.
The third was the only one of the four pies the kids would let us make not plain cheese and it was ugly and oh so good. Pepperoni, jalapeno (on my piece), and honey.
Last pie very pretty and the most perfect crust.
We shared each pie as a family when they come out. It was a real food experience and one I will remember. I seriously can not believe how good they were. The only thing I will change is make six balls of dough so we can make at least two whole pies pepperoni, jalapeno (on one whole pie), and honey (and a bbq chicken and bacon pie for my right hand daughter/chief and I). I think I am going to get some of the hot honey we were talking about in one of the many epic pizza threads here.
A shout out to all you guys making pies here, this place always pushes me and teaches me. And a MASSIVE shout out to @Rich G and his Nearly-politan" Pizza Dough recipe and the amazing pies he produces. The recipe was the prefect guide to get me into this cook and quality of his pies gives me something to strive towards.
Thanks for look!

Those are some really fine looking pies, and remember, round or not round, they taste the same!!!
