ckreef Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I wanted to show an example of using pizza as an appetizer. Unfortunately this was definitely not one of my better attempts but I did the cook and took the pictures so I figured I would post it anyway. Italian Meatball Pizza Appetizer What better crust for an appetizer pizza other than the world famous Reef's Cracker Crust - LOL - with some Italian seasonings added. Parbaked the crust. I actually used 1 1/2 times the dough recipe then divided it into 4. Once baked and cut I had 8 appetizer sized pizza crusts. Building the appetizer. Homemade spaghetti sauce, hand sliced mozzarella, a smooshed out homemade Italian Meatball and a little extra cheese. Cooking on the KK. A couple of appetizers. Sorry for the crappy cook and crappy pictures. I'm a little disappointed in myself but that's the way it goes sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 they look good to me... I would crush at least 2 of them no problem!!! Did you crack your pizza stone, or chip away to make it fit the KK??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Charles - this doesn't look carppy at all. I prefer to call it rustic! I've done something similar and this looks every bit as tasty! A cold beer, a bit of this thin crust, some good tunes, and you've got a feast! Very nicely done. Smooshed meatball kudos to ya! Now, please pass a slice of that this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Did you crack your pizza stone, or chip away to make it fit the KK??? That is my custom cut pizza stone to fit the 16.5". An old pizza stone I had laying around. I used an angle grinder with a masonry wheel/blade to cut it. Only took a couple of minutes. I'm really considering taking the angle grinder to my Akorn smoking stone. It's a massive stone and I rarely use it anymore.

Poochie Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'd snack on that until I was too full for supper. It's food so it's beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I appreciate all the kind words but it really was a disappointing cook for me. I completely mismanaged the KK for the final cooking phase which made it much harder than it should have been. Normally I would never post something like this. I would just try and try again until I got it right but........ I wanted an example of the Cracker crust in the pizza contest and I don't think I'll have time to try again before the end of the month.
