Fired up the FEC-100, set to 375. Placed my new pizza stone on. A friend does marble work and brought me this. It is 1-1/4 inch thick, polished, but not sealed.
Got all of the ingredients together for the topping.
and the crust
Rolled it out and slipped that bad boy on the stone
Ooops, forgot to get a temp. Looking good.
Meanwhile, I mixed up the sauce
The crust is done. Check out the smoke ring.
Let er cool and put the sauce on.
Y'all know how to slice stuff up, so I won't bore you with that.
May I present: The Finished Siete de Mayo Pizza.
Cut in half
How about a slice?
Just a little taste. Should have cleaned my finger nails. Oh well, just smoker grease.
Like I told Troy when he asked me, "What does it taste like?"
My reply, "Like Heaven with Unlimited Beer."
Thanks for lookin'. Enjoy!
