The last of this batch of ABin5.....pizza!


The other night one son and myself were alone, we were watching movies, and it was pouring rain outside(what else is new here in New Jersey!) I figured why not just make a pizza out of the rest of the dough. I had some homemade San Marzano tomato basil sauce on hand....two kinds of mozzarella...one freshly made and purchased that day at the farmers market. So I figured we would experiment. We decided to go for a Sicilian style pizza...one that is thick and made in a pan rather then on a stone...the experiment worked well. The dough was so easy to handle...I will most definitely do it again....one half of the pie was a simple Margarita and the other some sausage that I had leftover and some shredded mozzarella...both were really nice. The Margarita was my favorite. I strongly advise that if you make this...watch your pizza carefully...I got kind of involved in a movie and well... could have taken this pizza out of the oven a little bit sooner. The topping got a little brown for pictures...but it was delicious anyway!
I love this bread dough...I have another batch rising in the fridge right now!

I spread out the dough by hand on a half sheet pan lined with parchment. I sprinkled a little bit of cornmeal underneath the dough and spread a bit of olive oil and fresh garlic over top of the dough. I let it rest for 40 minutes while the oven was heating to 450*. The dough was very relaxed and spread out very easily.
The sauce spread on the dough after the rest....

Fresh Mozzarella and basil added to one side....

Sliced cooked sweet Italian sausage, mozzarella and basil to the other side...
