Many members come up with great looking pizzas for the monthly challenges.

For the month of October 2010, the monthly challenge was "Candy".  I made a pizza for the challenge October 14, 2010

This was my pizza for the “candy” challenge..  This pizza was baked in my home oven on the baking stone in the top rack position.  Toppings on this pizza are mild white cheddar cheese, papaya strips (cut up), dried cherries, cinnamon, and candied pecans.  I placed some candy corn and other candies on this pie after the bake. The combination of the crunchy candied pecans, dried cherries, papaya, candies, white mild cheddar cheese and cinnamon went well together in my opinion.

Since I really like cinnamon in so many ways and recently read this article in our local newspaper about the benefits of cinnamon, this is another reason I decided to include cinnamon in this pie.

The dough I used for this pizza was the Preferment Lehmann dough, which is a dough made with a poolish.
