Pizza Stone!!!

2009_12_05

I recently got a pizza stone and I am in LOVE with it. Homemade pizza is quick, easy and sooooo delicious.

My best pizza so far has been a potato pizza bianca with Etorki. Etorki is a French sheep milk cheese that has the most wonderful nutty flavour. I brushed the dough with olive oil, threw on some shredded Etorki, added some rosemary sprigs and covered the top with Yukon Gold potatoes sliced thin on a mandoline. Then I drizzled some oil into the potatoes and gave it a generous dose of freshly ground sea salt and pepper.

It was unspeakably delicious.

I attempted to recreate the pizza a few days later with mozzarella and, while very good, it just didn’t have the complexity of the Etorki version. I’m excited to try making more pizzas with non-traditional cheeses. Taking suggestions!

Edit: I made this pizza again with mozzarella and Le Riopelle de l’Isle, an earthy triple-creme from Quebec with good results!

Have you tried the gris-bleu from the St Lawrence market? It’s a layering of brie and blue cheese–so good!

One of our favorites is a caramelized onion, pear and brie. A bit of rosemary in there probably wouldn’t hurt!

Oh, I was so in Peter’s pizza stone before it broke! I was busting out pear/prosciuttos and lamb sausage/pestos like nobody’s business!
