This was originally designed to be a dessert tart and not a pizza. But I thought, “What the heck.”
Fired up the FEC-100, set to 375. Placed my new pizza stone on. A friend does marble work and brought me this. It is 1-1/4 inch thick, polished, but not sealed.



Got all of the ingredients together for the topping.



and the crust



Rolled it out and slipped that bad boy on the stone



Ooops, forgot to get a temp. Looking good.



Meanwhile, I mixed up the sauce



The crust is done. Check out the smoke ring.



Let er cool and put the sauce on.



Y'all know how to slice stuff up, so I won't bore you with that.
May I present: The Finished Siete de Mayo Pizza.




Cut in half



How about a slice?



Just a little taste. Should have cleaned my finger nails. Oh well, just smoker grease.
Like I told Troy when he asked me, "What does it taste like?"
My reply, "Like Heaven with Unlimited Beer."



Thanks for lookin'. Enjoy.

Directions:

I used Sugar Cookie Dough

OR make your own

Crust:
6 tablespoons butter or margarine,
softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

FILLING:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese,
softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups crushed fresh strawberries

Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 2 minutes. Beat in egg and extracts. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over crust. Arrange sliced strawberries on top.
4. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and crushed berries until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly. Spoon over strawberries. Refrigerate until serving.

Man, I could sure do some damage to that Jarhead. Well done my friend!

Thank you Toby. I damaged 3/4 of it last night.

Semper Pizza! Talk about shock and awe...

Now thats worth writing home about. Yep, I could do about half of that. CF

Got milk? I'd need that and a pint of insulin. I mean, something that looks that good where do you stop? How could you stop?

Boots, CF and Roger.
Thank y'all for your kind remarks.

Boots, ya may have something there, "Semper Pizza!" Maybe a new trademark.
CF, sorry it's all gone now. Had it for breakfast with spray on whipped cream. That's all I had.
Roger, I was so full, that I couldn't drink another beer.

Yep. I'd call that FULL.
