(Chuck "Eggman" Watson)

Heat BGE to 105 - 115 Degrees

1 cup warm water
1 1/2 tbsp. Sugar
1 package Dry Yeast
3+ cups Bread Flour
3/4 tbsp. Salt

Procedure Pizza Dough:
Mix water, sugar and yeast in a bowl and let proof for 5 minutes.
Put flour, salt and olive oil in bread machine or mixer and add fluid.
Let rip on dough cycle of bread machine or mix until dough pulls away from sid of bowl and let rise for 1 hour.
Coat dough with olive oil, cover and proof in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight. (The dough at Eggfest was made Thursday night and refrigerated until Saturday,)
I invert my plate setter, put a cooking grid on the inverted legs and place the pizza stone on the grid. IMO this heats the stone more evenly and doesn't overheat it and burn the crust before the inside is done. This is especially helpful when doing multiple stromboli, quesadilla or pizza cooks.
This recipe will make two 12" - 14" pizza.

Procedure Stromboli:
Roll out dough to 8" x 14"
Spread roasted garlic in a wide strip the length of the dough.
Evenly spread cheeses leaving 1/2" plain on the edges.
Layer pepperoni evenly
Roll from long side, don't roll too tight.
SLIGHTLY moisten edge and pinch tight to seal, do the same with the ends.
Egg on your pizza setup, you can do two at once, at 450 for 15 - 20 minutes until nicely browned.
This recipe will make two strombolis.

 

 

Procedure Garlic Knots:
Mix parsley, garlic and olive oil and let sit for at least 1 hour.
Roll out dough to 1" and cut in strips 1" x 4".
Roll slightly and tie in a 1/2" loose knot.
Egg on pizza setup at 450 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes until brown
Toss them into a bowl with garlic mixture until well coated and then sprinkle with cheese.
This recipe will make 30 - 40 garlic knots.
