two recent pies

after some very cold weeks, had the oven going again...a bit too burnt on one pie..

other than pizza

cornish game hens..2 hour cooking time..dinner was Spanish style, which means we ate at 11pm..next time, will pop them in the oven earlier..: )

One of the first pies..Memorable night..

Labor Day weekend, 2013..

Mr Ciancio's arugula and prosciutto, with balsamic glaze.

very tasty..

Having some pies with my neighbor Stelios. The man behind Authentiko EVOO.

12 inches..stretching the dough...

mixed mushrooms on one side, broccoli rabe and sweet sausage on other.

variety

stocked-up for some variety.

pesto of broccoli rabe is a keeper.

dough rounds

285 grams each. make for a 11-12" pizza.

Pie assembly

Brussels Sprouts and fennel.

delivery boxes beat the aluminum foil..

was feeling awkward asking the local places for empty boxes..

a miss with this kale pie

back to the drawing board on this one..

but was happy with the "stretch" on the dough.

crust is coming along...

Bivio Pizza Napoletana in Little Falls, NJ.
