For this month's challenge we were to make "Pizza Napoletana” from Peter Reinhart's “The Bread Baker's Apprentice". Our host this month was Rosa of "Rosa's Yummy Yums".
Now I've made pizza before, so I wasn't really intimidated. But the recipe was a bit different than how I usually make it. Not a hard recipe to follow, but just different. I usually make the dough and bake it the same day, but this recipe had it rest in the fridge overnight. I was really excited to use my new KA mixer to help me, it was a bit easier than working the dough by hand (minus the kneading). Oh, and we needed to capture us throwing the pizza like a real Pizziola. This is me (not a great pic, but it worked just fine!)

Here are my balls (lol) ready to refrigerate
I have to say, this was a great recipe! I cut it into 6 pieces, and used two tonight for our dinner, and plan to use the rest later, per the freezing instructions.
I made Chad's ( homemade pizza sauce, mozzarella, turkey pepperoni, and parsley)
And mine (tomato sauce, feta, black olive, parsley and fresh grape tomatoes)
The crust was so crispy and flavorful, the perfect consistency.
Just look at that yummy-ness!
Big thanks go out to Rosa for a great challenge.

I'm impressed at your tossing skills - my dough was so soft that just picking it up stretched it too much!
