khiemtranIt's been years since I last made pizza, but after seeing how good a simple one could be in Sorrento, I decided it was time to get back into it.
Of course, that meant re-learning the recipe, which, to be honest, I was never that good at, and adapting it for a whole new oven.
First, the dough, covered and left to prove.
The first rising. After this, I punched it down, folded it in and left it to rise again.
The third rising, in between this and the previous picture, I separated what I took to be a half, used it to create what will now be known as the great pizza biscuit debacle of 2011, and left the rest in the fridge overnight to prove again. Which it did. Into this.
Spreading the dough. Liem took the photograph. I seemed to have a lot more dough to go around than I had with the first "half".
Topping. No sense buying mozzarella until I've got the base working, so I just used some South Cape brie.
Pizza in the oven. Oh, is that some leftover brie?
And the results? Standby...
