I’ve been playing with Peter’s Herb Oil recipe for a while – ever since I first read his book American Pie “My Search for the Perfect Pizza”.\u00a0 I have only focused on using it with Pizza, but he has some very interesting suggestions and ideas I’d like to try some time.<\/p>\n

Cheese and Herb Oil become one at the center of the Pizza Universe<\/p><\/div>
I woke up early the other morning, about 5:00 AM, and realized that I while I wanted to sleep, what I really wanted to do was to take some photos to go with the Peter’s Herb Oil recipe.\u00a0 So I came downstairs and pulled a couple of frozen pizza doughs out of the freezer to use with my new batch of Herb Oil and went back to bed. \u00a0Later, after getting the kids off to school, I made the Herb Oil and took photos while the dough came up to temperature.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then, I made one of my favorite pizzas. It’s the one I almost always do as the first pizza when we have pizza parties; a great appetizer or starter pizza.\u00a0 It’s simply Herb Oil and some cheese – usually mozzarella and parmesan — but I often add whatever cheeses I have laying around.\u00a0 Cheese, herbs, and good bread.\u00a0 How do you beat that?<\/p>\n

Dough – Herb Oil<\/p><\/div>\n

Cheese…<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s simple, but also the essence of what pizza is – bread (dough) with something on it (quite often cheese).\u00a0 Did I say, I love cheese?\u00a0 This herb oil is such a perfect sauce,<\/em> that melds with the cheese, which melds with the dough to become one thing.\u00a0 This is different than a conventional pizza in a way – it’s more like a cheese flatbread.\u00a0I made one here pizza using Peter’s Country Dough.<\/p>\n

Country Dough Cheese\/Herb Oil Pizza<\/p><\/div>\n

After taking too many photos of the second pizza I was making, I finally pulled the pizza out of the oven. \u00a0Okay, it baked a little longer than usual but, being someone who loves to go a little well done on many things, that wasn’t a problem – especially with cheese (I love it when it gets all crispy and caramelized)!\u00a0 Not to change the subject, but I have to say the Country Dough really keeps amazing me – it adds a whole other element to every pizza I’ve made with it.\u00a0 It does not take over, but adds another layer of flavor – a slight nuttiness which went well with the cheese and herbs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notice how much thicker the Forno Bravo Baking Stone is (bottom) vs the more typical stone (top)<\/p><\/div>\n

I made a second pizza with Peter’s Neo-Neopolitan Dough recipe.\u00a0 Again, the taste difference between the two pies is what struck me besides the great cheesey-herbiness!\u00a0 I used the same ingredients in both pizzas and the two crusts made each pie uniquely different.<\/p>\n

Version 2 of Brad’s Herb and Cheese Bread<\/p><\/div>
The recipe:<\/p>\n

Dough
Herb Oil
Cheese
Heat<\/p>\n

Eat!<\/p>\n

NOTE: Here’s a teaser for a posting I’m working on in the near future…a fun topping that added an amazing LAYER of flavor!!!<\/p>\n
