Dough Overload

For some reason I woke up Sunday morning with a hankering for pizza.  I had a very small window of time but managed to whip up a batch of dough before carrying on with my day.

Pioneer Woman has a dead-easy basic pizza dough recipe.  So easy I managed to read it wrong and landed up with a double batch!  haha.  That says 1 teaspoon OR 1/2 packet of yeast…which I read as 1 packet.

Good thing pizza dough freezes well.  Four whole pizza crusts is a bit much for a single gal!

Good excuse to bring down the Kitchen Aid mixer and have a little fun…

I was worried it was going to be a snow storm in the kitchen!  Eight cups of flour is about all this baby can handle!

We got through it though!

The dough rose while I was out wandering around a sheep field eating my face off.

Got myself enough dough for four lovely pizza pies (or one motherin’ huge family meal…if your oven is down with that!).

Now the fun part…what shall I top my doughy goodness with?

Look out Vegas…

…Here we come!

Feast of Fields–Vancouver Island–Part Three

Now you can see why this was a three post series.  Camera toting fool’s dream!  When I wasn’t filling my face with deliciousness, I was click-click-clicking away.  Sometimes I was doing both.

Say hello to my little friend…

Chef Heidi Fink offers cooking classes, culinary tours, and more.  I just discovered her blog recently!

Pizzeria Prima Strada cooked pizzas fresh in their mobile wood burning oven, Black Beauty.

Easily the most complicated and complex offering at the Feast, the team from Camille’s Restaurant was whipping sweet corn and black sesame ice cream on the fly using elbow grease and dry ice.  Ambitious!

My first taste of barnacle…which I liked (courtesy of Sooke Harbour House).  I would take a pass on sea asparagus in the future.

After this taste of The Pink Bicycle mutton slider I’ll be making a visit to the restaurant sooner rather than later!

And that about sums it up! ;)
