Leftover Throwdown Pie

[Jon Des.]

Here's my practice pie from the Pizza Throwdown.

Ingredients. The dough is the foccacia recipe from Cooking Topics.

Topped with EVOO, chicken sausage, Anaheim peppers, green onions, shredded mozz, and goat cheese, then headed on to the WSM with no water pan and a kettle lid. Works well!

Thanks for looking, now go enter the throwdown!

Excellent Jon! I've not grown the 'er Bravery to try one yet.

Jon, you sir are WAY beyond me on this one. I suggest we get together over beers and you school me on this. Naturally you buy.

John,

Pie looks great.

I am interested in your fire set up. Is it a ring of fire with coals all around the edges, evenly distributed coals all across the charcoal grate, banked to one side, etc?

We could meet in the middle, but I don't think there's anything between here and Bucks County.

Dwain - see my post in the Throwdown for a better explanation. This was a new set up for me and it worked really well, and much lower stress than the kettle.

Jon, Looks great! What was the @bake time like and @how long did you pre-heat the stone?

 

[Gary H. NJ]

Woo. Great pie Jon. Impressive technique too.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Great looking pie Jon!

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Marc - I'd say the bake time was 8-10 minutes, but there was a lot going on and I was having a few beverages. The stone was preheated for a while while the dough was split/shaped and the first pie was topped and everything was photographed for the Throwdown. I can't say how long, but it was hot. Without the waterpan it was able to get warm but not insanely hot like it does in my kettle.

That's reasonable - Gonna have to play again! Thanks.
