ckreef Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 My second entry in the contest. A Chicago style deep dish pizza (constructed upside down) with a Backyard Bistro flair (extra toppings added in the end). Bring a fork and knife, you're going to need them - LOL. The dough formula came from my Reef's Pizza Doughs posted in the recipe section. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The 2 on Komodo pictures are dedicated to Dennis - he will know why.
Poochie Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 That's a winner too. Nice and colorful with gooey cheese.
CeramicChef Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 By Jove, he's done it again! Very nicely done, Charles. Major kudos to ya!
ckreef Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Posted August 7, 2015 That's a winner too. Nice and colorful with gooey cheese.I normally keep the deep dish all meat. For photography purposes I felt it could use a little contrasting color so I added the green peppers. Mrs skreef really liked that. Since they were put on towards the end they still had a little crunch to them which is how she likes it. Also I started cooking this at 375*. I should have started at 400*. Still came out really good just took a little longer to finish.
ckreef Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks everyone it was yummy. I also made my next dough which is rising in the refrigerator. Will cook that one either Saturday or maybe Monday.
bryan Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 So far you have my vote. What can I do to copy the pics?
tinyfish Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 Well now I have to raise the white flag and surrender, that is one fine, fine looking pizza. Making pizza's for sale could be very profitable your you.
MacKenzie Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 tinyfish, no don't give up. I read the fine print for the contest and it's like golf the lowest score wins so we are back in the game.
tony b Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 Good one, MacKenzie! ckreef, another home run, dude! Making it hard to psyche myself up to enter now. But I will push myself to bang one out in the next week or so. Super busy this weekend with out of town guests.
ckreef Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Posted August 7, 2015 So far you have my vote. What can I do to copy the pics? You should be able to right click the picture and save it to your hard drive. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
ckreef Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Posted August 7, 2015 Nobody gets to raise the white flag - where is the fun in that. These are just the standard nothing special pizzas. Just trying to showcase all the different Komodo pizza options. I still have a couple more to get through. I figure some exotic ingredient pizza will take the win. I'm not good with exotic ingredients pizza but I'll try and enter something special before the end of the month.
bryan Posted August 8, 2015 Report Posted August 8, 2015 I will be back to space one once another entry is entered, But for now.... there is no one else to vote for. Hence so far my vote.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Notes: 1- The cookbook program I am useing will only allow for one pic. Pluting the money shot product in the Komodo Kamado will show off our Kamados with the KK name, and our entry all together. Let me know which pic you want in book with your pizza recipe. 2- If someone has a program that can include more than one pic and doesn't mind useing it I have no objection. It will give a better book for our cookbook collections. 3- All suggestions more than welcomed.

And are usually composed after the cook when you can arrange things properly on the plate. A large number of cooks don't look that exciting on the grill were you could capture the Komodo Kamado logo. Take my pull apart pizza - on the grill it looks like nothing special. The money shot really brings the cook to life. Unfortunately for a cookbook you really want an eye appealing picture so people get drawn into cooking it. A lot of on grill pictures don't have the eye candy appeal. There are picture mosaic programs that will combine 2 or more pictures into one, which basically solves this dilemma. A lot of photo editing programs have this feature built into it.
ckreef Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Posted August 8, 2015 Another simpler option would be to just pick the best picture. If the on grill picture looks very appealing use that. If the money shot looks significantly more appealing use that. People who get this cookbook will all know everything was done on a Komodo Kamado so not every picture would need to be on the grill. Also if there is some type of cover page for the book then a good multi picture mosaic could be used with a few different Komodo Kamado's in that picture.
DennisLinkletter Posted August 9, 2015 Report Posted August 9, 2015 Awesome.. I'll be posting this to the KK facebook page! Thank you VERY BIG for these...
bryan Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 My cookbook program is dirt simple it allows 1 pic, 1 ingredient colum, and 1 description colum. That is about all I can handle. My thought sabout pictures: This is a chance to say thanks to Dennis for a job well done. I suggest the following Example: If CC"s two products changed places it would make a dymanic duo picture. Results: 1- Thank you Dennis. 2- Shows your Komodo Kamado. 3- Shows "Komodo Kamado Can Do If We Will Do" 4- Makes one hell of a picture!
