Solid Gold
Do yourself a favor
with this pepperoni pizza
I think we can all agree that, every once in a
while, you just need a good pepperoni pizza. For
me, I love it with a little burrata and some giardiniera.
But you know what? We've been through
a lot the past couple of years, and you owe it to
yourself to throw a little gold leaf on there also,
for you and your friends. Adding the gold leaf
takes it from delicious to WOW! Believe me, this
pizza means business.
As most of you know, it doesn't do anything for
fl avor, but the eye appeal and all-around luxury
of eating gold is fun. I like to think of this as half
pizza, half disco ball. Plus, sourcing gold leaf is
extremely easy. One of your distributors might
carry it, or you can search online. It is quite tricky
to work with, however, because it is very sticky. If
you have a set of tweezers, I found that to be the
easiest way to apply after baking.
Here's the recipe:
1 8-10-ounce dough ball
3 ounces pizza sauce
3 ounces mozzarella
12-15 pieces of pepperoni
2 ounces burrata
2 tablespoons giardiniera (try a specialty
market giardiniera)
1-2 pieces of gold leaf
Baby basil leaves
To start, grab yourself a dough ball. Stretch it to
your desired size, then top with pizza sauce, mozzarella
and pepperoni. I love cup and char pepperoni,
so that's what I use. I bake at 550-600
F for eight to ten minutes. After baking, set on a
cooling rack and spoon your favorite giardiniera
over the pizza. Try to dry it a little so as not to get
too much of the moisture on your pizza. Next,
top with your favorite burrata, gold leaf and baby
basil leaves. Enjoy!
