This word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yup, I tried them while on vacation - the flavor is, indeed, inconceivable.

Brandon, your folks seem to be channeling a traditional Derby Day repast for Easter, what with the ham and the asparagus viniagrette...

Bill,

I clicked over to O'Vesuvio's video. There was quite a skill level in how the pizza was baked with the rotating and shielding of the pizza with paddle while the edges browned.

I should have stopped there, because the sandwich bread cooked like a pita was fabulous. My stomach growled when they split it, added the various fillings, then returned it to the oven for a final cook. Dressed with parma ham and ready for serving. Until now I never had a bite the screen moment, that was mine.

Do you think they used a different dough for the bread than for the pizza?

The music's presence in the video reminded me of Vicky Christina Barcelona.

Thanks, again!

Regards,

Cathy,

I'm told it's the same dough. Wonderful stuff! BTW, I posted a little youTube video of my effort. My dough bakes up much puffier than O'Vesuvio.

Cathy,

In case you have extricated your teeth from your screen, here is a little rough-cut videoI took today of sandwiches made in the same style using the leftovers from Friday. I hope you enjoy it.

Bill,

It is always reassurig I can make this at home just like you, once I: build the wood fire oven in the backyard, buy duplicates of all your toys, your favored ingredients and study pizza just as intently. I do have a very sensitive digital gram scale as a beginning. :D

Until then, I thoroughly enjoy everyone of your culinary efforts.

Regards,

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Try watching this Vimeo version. YouTube just compresses too much.

Beautiful. The dough looks like it is entering Dante's inferno. It's nice to see your hand to provide a sense of proportion.

Thank you!

However when it comes to compression, I am not sure youtube could compress mhill95149's bacon wrapped tenderloin as badly.

Regards,

After watching Bill's videos and seeing all his pics I too have a "toy" list! I do think I've talked Mrs. jaholbrook into the black egg which will be my summer project!

I need to have that sandwich!!

That's my kinda pizza! Whoda thunk? After considering, though, it's an ideal pizza meat - flavorful and fine-grained so you don't have to wrestle with slabs of meat sliding off your pizza. Sign me up.
