September 2010 Monthly Challenge: Clever Pizza Making Ideas-Second Submission September 30, 2010

I had one small dough ball that I wanted to use for another attempt at this months challenge, but became busy and didn’t have time to do the other experiment I wanted to do on this dough ball.. I had also been thinking about another experiment of using a sheet of aluminum foil and trying to bake a pizza placed on the aluminum foil and to just try the broiler on to bake the pie.  Well, since this was the last day of this months challenge, I decided to do the experiment early in the afternoon.  I didn’t want to make this into a regular pizza.  I decided on a breakfast pizza with toppings of Nutella and toasted cinnamon raisin bread (that was cut into cubes) that were toasted in the oven before I turned the broiler on.  The oven was heated up just until the temperature was 500 degrees F.  Then I turned the broiler on.  I even used the same piece of regular aluminum foil to toast the bread and bake the pizza.  This combination of toppings doesn’t sound that good, but when the pizza was finished the combination went well together.  I placed the toppings on right after the bake of this pizza.

The broiler did a good job of baking this pizza, in my opinion.  As soon as the one side was baked, I turned the pizza over and quickly baked the pizza on the other side.

This dough ball was used and abused because it was defrosted one time when I wanted to do my other experiment, and then froze again and finally another defrost.  Even with all that freezing and defrosting, it still did get good oven spring.
