{ Not bad for my first try } |
If you haven't ventured up to Church Hill lately then you may not have heard about a great new Italian restaurant called
Anthony's on the Hill that opened up a couple months ago. They specialize in pizza and pasta with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and traditional dishes. I've become a frequent visitor and I'm even a little embarrassed to say, seriously considered asking the bolognese sauce if it was seeing anyone.
My roving culinary eye has moved on and I am currently in love with their pizza so I thought who better than Anthony's proprietor, Michael Calogerakis, to share some fabulous pizza tips with Austen Hill readers. His knowledge and enthusiasm for great food is infectious and I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson.
While Anthony's pizza is obviously fabulous and I encourage you to stop by, if you can't get out for the evening, follow Mike's advice and you'll have a hit on your hands.

{ Mike makes his own dough every day - Great tip: Remember to not over-mix it } |
 |
{ No tossing or rolling here, it causes the dough to contract and tighten - press down, press out, then turn the pan } |
 |
{ Layering flavors is very important, so always season the dough before you put on any sauce or toppings } |
 |
{ Toppings: I opted for pepperoni, sausage {from sausage craft}, and prosciutto } |
 |
{ My little baby baked in a 600 degree oven for about 10-12 mins....YUMMY! If you're cooking at home, be sure to place the pizza directly on the rack for a couple minutes at the end to get that crispy crust } |
