      #PizzaPortionChallenge

      *Beet Pizza with Red Pesto and Asparagus*

      Beet dough, pesto alla calabrese, fresh mozzarella di bufala, gorgonzola cheese, wild asparagus, red onion, oregano, grated ginger and kale for garnish.

      I have never made pizzas and I was not planning to do a pizza course, but when the challenge came up I thought: “I have two weeks… I have time, I have time, I have time…”. First week I do the courses recommended by Sol and the second week I prepare ingredients, practice and make my pizza… Easy!!!😎

      I started with the Neapolitan Pizzas courses by Vittorio and Riccardo Figurato but when I saw the one on Creative Pizzas by Luigi Di Domenico … I came up and thought about my pizza 🤔.

      I got so excited that I bought Italian ingredients, a stone and shovel for my oven that was arriving just on Friday ( three days before the end of the challenge?…gives me time ). I started my dough on Thursday, my first pizza dough and on top of beet 🧐 ….

      Friday came and I think I stressed the dough, what a beating I gave it but I went ahead and against all odds it came out!!! but without pins 🤣. We ate everything but the edge which was inedible.

      My husband who doesn’t like pizzas, said to me ” The first one never comes out well, why don’t you make one with the figs I brought yesterday?”. I prepared the dough to bake it on Saturday 😊

      I thought I had it all under control…the stone didn’t arrive 😂 and I was still thinking about my beet pizza…I prepared another dough while the other one was in its first rising. I could bake it on Sunday to see if it would turn out better… and it did ! These photos are from the second attempt with beets. It came out very, very tasty and with peaks, even though the pesto spilled during the cutting 🥳.

      This challenge has pushed me to the limit but I have learned and enjoyed it like a girl with new shoes. I have practiced photography. I know only pizza slice photos enter but I wanted you to see how it came out whole for me.

      In another post I will show you my fig pizza. It came out so pretty that I had a hard time deciding what to present but since only one was allowed I wanted to be faithful to my first idea. I hope you like it

        Maloles,me encantó tu resultado!

        A pesar de los desafíos, lograste una pizza única, el color que obtuviste es vibrante y original. Los alveólos se ven bien formados lo cuál es resultado de una buen manejo de la.masa.

        Me encanta tu entusiasmo y la dedicación que pusiste en este reto definitivamente se ven reflejados en el resultado. Esperamos que pronto puedas compartir con nosotros una pizza hecha en la piedra refractaria que compraste y nos cuentes si hay alguna diferencia con la que horneaste ahora para el reto.

        Amó tus fotos y todo lo bonito que nos muestras.🫶🏻

        Saludos.

          @sussan_scoolinaryteam Cuanto me alegra que te guste . Muchas gracias por tus comentarios siempre con tanto cariño. Siii, espero poder hacer es pizza con la piedra si llega algún día pero mientras tanto sigo el consejo de Beatriz Piedras y pongo la bandeja del horno en la base un buen rato para que se caliente 😉

      • Pues te ha quedado espectacular Maloles. Sigue con los retos porque se te da genial ❤️❤️

        Maloles siendo Maloles 😍 La primer foto debería competir para el Pulitzer. La elección de la remolacha para hacer unas de tus primeras pizzas me parece de lo más arriesgado que he escuchado en mucho tiempo. Enhorabuena por este magnífico resultado.

        Love
