I mentioned in the last post that there is a regional pizza known as "The Falcon" which was a favorite of mine before I even knew there was a name for it. So today I decided to change things up on those toppings and give it a new name:
Presenting "The Merlin"
A merlin is of course a type of falcon. I've also heard it's a type of lady hotdog, but we won't get into that here.
Dough:
- 120g water
- 1/4 tsp. of yeast
- 3/4 tsp. sugar
- 40g whole wheat flour
- 150g high gluten flour
Toppings:
- Olive oil, crushed basil and garlic, 1 tsp. Drunken Jerk Sauce.
- Provolone cheese, just like Shake's uses (non smokey please)
- Pepperoni. Hand cut diagonally because this is how it's done correctly
- And finally, jalapeños and pineapple for that spicy sweet
Three minutes in the oven and then I ate the whole damn thing by myself.
