Clam Chowdah Pizza

[dstr8]

So, MacKenzie with her sous vide potatoes inspired me to revisit clam pizza:  Thanks @MacKenzie.  

I've made and posted about clam & bacon pizza before but its been a couple years.  I can't claim the original idea for this incredibly deelish pie but rather the raw idea came from Joe Squared in Baltimore as seen on Guy Fieri's Diner's Drive-ins and Dives a few years ago.   

This time I decided to leverage MacK's potatoes into an unseasonable, for summer in Northern Nevada anyway :D, pizza version of clam chowder.     All the usual suspects show up for the bake-off at 700ºF on the Twenty-Three:   Neapolitan style dough (3-day cold ferment), roasted garlic, cheese & herb béchamel, sauted onions, the sous vide potatoes, rendered bacon (d'oh), raw clams (sous vide'd for 30-minutes at 124º), grated asiago, fresh mozzarella ciliegine...and finished it, after removing from the KK, with a drizzle of fruity EVO & fresh oregano.

dstr8, that sure is a lovely looking pizza. I'm not that brave yet.;)

Although I could use the bag juice from the haddock to do chowder.:)

@dstr8 - excellent. I've had clams on pizza before, but never as chowdah! Sounds great. 

@MacKenzie - sounds like a great plan for the SV fish broth!

Looks great. I wouldn't have ever thought to try that.
