I was invited to a pizza party where the hosts had their very own wood-burning brick oven in their backyard. What a fun way to entertain guests :)
We started by rolling out our dough, spreading on the pizza sauce and adding all of our favorite ingredients. I used red sauce, lots of mozzarella, pepperoni, some sausage, mushrooms, basil, black olives and a few red peppers.
Next up: a hot minute (or five) in the brick oven.
And, ta-da! Almost instant deliciousness. There's something extra special about brick oven pizza...just the way the crust tastes is so good (and probably why there's a cult-like following of this type of pizza establishment across the metro).
And, allow me to say that having the freedom to pile on as much cheese as I wanted made it even better.
Oh yea, this is good. You are so right about the taste being different cooked this way. We have even cooked pizza on our grill a few times to attempt to get that smoky taste. Your toppings are just what I'd like!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try grilling pizza...I might have to give that a go this summer!
