morning road.

i took this video some months back... morning drive to the ferry on the coast....
but only now, in the solitude of this place, have i gotten around to editing...

almost flying. perching on a limb. the wind a blowing.

'zza on the grill.


my new favourite thing to make on a summer evening is bar-be-que pizza! it is the best thing since sliced bread- i would argue even BETTER than toast.

roll your dough out nice and thin, and heat up the BBQ to quite hot. then grease the grill. next gently toss the slab of dough onto the grill... turn down the BBQ so it doesn't char the pizza. grill for about 3-4 minutes, until it has nice grill marks on it when checking underneath. next, oil the top of the dough with a brush, then using 2 flippers FLIP it! then quickly add your toppings to the already grilled side- you want toppings that are light and don't need cooking. here, i used thinly sliced tomatoes and chevre, to good effect. when you see nice grill marks on the bottom take that baby off, and you are ready to cut into squares and mange mange!


i was thinking that some caramelized onions or some other delightful pre-cooked topping would work really well. for the dough, i used the ReBar recipe for focaccia and cut it into 3 pieces.
