CeramicChef Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Howdy Again KKers! Last night SWMBOI and I were tired at the end of the day. I was looking for something quick, easy, and light. We have a favorite restaurant very near our home here in OKC, Charleston's, and they do a killer flat bread pizza. SWMBOI has been after me to duplicate it and I had the materials on hand, so, what the heck, why not? So here we go. Lit a fire in the belly of TheBeast and got him up to about 425. A little corn meal on the pizza peel ... The sweet Italian sausage hand made from the local grocery ... I bought some Momma Mary's thin and crispy pizza flats at the store. Here it is on the peel ... I whipped up some pesto in the food processor and spread it on the pizza flat ... Added some mozzarella cheese and Roma tomatoes sliced so thin they only had one side ... Then the sweet Italian sausage went on top to complete the flat bread pizza pie ... And into the belly of TheBeast who had heat soaked for about an hour ... Total time to cook was only about 9 minutes at 425F and here's the finished pesto flat bread pizza with sweet Italian sausage ... A view of the finished crust ... And a plated shot of a couple of slices sitting on my best china ... And finally the aftermath ... As you can see, this was a very formal dinner where I use my best china and stemware! When all was said and done, this was a wonderful cook. Next time, I think I would add a few sliced ripe olives. You can also use chicken, beef, etc. I'm also going to add a few jalapeños to the next pie. This was a simple, easy and delicious cook that took very little time and was wonderfully tasty without much work at all. Thanks for looking in.
tinyfish Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Good food good drink and I'm sure good company what else could you ask for.
MacKenzie Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 After seeing your post I'd like to be having pizza
tony b Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Having pizza for supper tonight, but not at home. Mellow Mushroom is having a tap takeover by Surly Brewing, so that's where I'm headed in about an hour!

CeramicChef Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 Good food good drink and I'm sure good company what else could you ask for. tiny - SWMBOI was right there next to me. It just doesn't get any better than that. I plan on making that a permanent situation!
CeramicChef Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 After seeing your post I'd like to be having pizza MacKenzie - this is one seriously simple but very satisfying cook. I can only imagine what you'd do with it!
CeramicChef Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Posted April 30, 2015 Nice simple cook CC - good job. Charles - I really do like simple during the week. Simple mean minimal cleanup, easy to cook, delicious on the palette! TheBeast and a quick simple pizza pie ... what could be simpler? I'm taking lessons from you, Charles!

So let me see if I understand ... pizza is an appiteaser for the main course ... beer!? I like how you roll!
tony b Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks, CC. And, "how I roll" is more correct than you think! Had to waddle out of the place! Great beers and damned tasty pizza, too! $2.50 pints for seriously good beers - can't go wrong there! They plan on making this a regular Wednesday night special - woo, hoo!
CeramicChef Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Posted May 1, 2015 tony - seriously? $2.50 pints! Geez, except for the winters, you're living in heaven!
