I did it! I finally mastered making a Greek style pizza like I am used to (Ann's pizza, Enfield CT).
In total it took me about 5 months of experimenting around every weekend. Now I am super happy with the result.
All that is left to do is tweak the sauce a tiny bit and it will be perfect for me!
This pizza was made on 12-2-2014 and my notes are:
Made 3 16" pizzas
Dough:
1.8cup water ~100F
2.4 Tea active dry Yeast
2.25 Tbl Sugar
~1.1 Tea sea salt
1.5 Tbl regular olive oil
Sauce:
15 oz Hunts Sauce
8 oz Hunts sauce with Basil, garlic, oregano
~ 10 shakes Taragon
~ 10 shakes Thyme
~ 20 shakes oregano (plust a few shakes on top of the sauce on the pizza)
~ 12 cracks pepper
uncooked (cooks on the pizza)
16 min on bottom rack. Bottom brown and crispy, cheese not burnt.
Best crust so far, don't skimp on the cheese (this was a perfect amount).
Using the bottom rack (electric oven) browned the bottom much better. I may be able to up the hydration of the dough a bit now that I use the bottom rack.
I want to modify the sauce to include more Taragon and no thyme.
Filled the pizza with pepperoni and sprinkled a little salt on top when it came out of the oven.
After cutting the pizza some of the pepperoni grease drips down and makes the crust soggy. Using a cardboard bottom would absorb some of this grease.
This was the third pizza made from this batch. Dough aged in the fridge ~3 days.

Zakopane in the Sierras.
Portola, California, USA
Architecture from "the LAND of the BLUE EYES".
My lifelong thanks to my three Viking buddies from University of Montana... Arnstein Rustberggard of Gol, Klaus Urbaye of Oslo, and Jan Brentebratten of Chicken Falls (Honefoss) for teaching me how to love all things NORGE !!!
We began with a simple Carpathian Alps design known as Zakopane Style, after the alpine village of the same name in the podhale (alpine area) along the Polish/Slovakian border. From there we added architectural accoutrements covering a historical period from 1050AD to approximately 1920, in the modern age. We have incorporated door portals and shutter carvings from the old Stavkirke (Stave Churches) of Hallingdal, Telemark, and Urnes (Norway)... to roof details from the Novgorod/upper Dvina River Region of NW Russia... to window carvings from the old Prussia/Bohemian regions...... carved doors reminiscent of the Baltics, and various other folk details from the Hutsells of Ukraine and the goral (mtn people) in Poland.
This is Phase 1 of a larger compound to incorporate inspiration from European architecture as well as many such inspirations in our own High Sierras. Sites such as Vikingsholm at Lake Tahoe, the Hearst compound at Wyntoon, Rainbow Lodge, Sugarbowl, and Thunderbird Lodge.

Week 23 entry for Dolly Diptych Weekly. (23/52)
A few weeks ago, by some strange miracle, Ryan was able to make Miette dance PSY’s viral song Gangnam Style. I really don’t know how he does it so easily, and with the Lati V1 body to boot! So, being the competitive person I am, I decided to try and make my little girl dance again for DDW.
LO AND BEHOLD, I did it! It took me several minutes to get her to pose like that. Who knew posing tiny dolls could be so tiring? XD

Flat stones projecting from Incan terraces in Peru were my first encounter with these simplest of stiles. I love them and I love the way that human ingenuity came to the same notion in the wonderful parallel evolution of ideas.
This stuff bothers some people. They can't see how the limits of physics and the properties of materials constrain outcomes. In their minds we need fanciful migrations, divine direction or visiting aliens to carry ideas which logically evolve with no influence beyond the human mind and Nature's laws.
Applying reductio ad absurdum logic, ask what would have happened if the builders of ziggurats, Egyptian, Mesoamerican or Nubian pyramids, even the Borobudur of Central Java began adding stones to a structure that pointed downwards. Doesn't work; not even for the most artistic mind. Quite logically, all around the place, if you pile stuff up and you don't want it to fall down, the pointy bit is at the top.
If there is a need, an available material and a mind to put those things together this is what you get: stile style. Not only that, it works better than imported notions. Today I took a wander over to the dilapidated bird hide on Loch Gretchen. This entailed negotiating a vertical ladder up one side of the sheep dyke, rotating 180⁰ on a tiny wooden platform then descending another vertical ladder on the other side. It was terrifying! A few stones like this, old school, and there's none of that perilous centre of gravity hanging out in space business. Here you ascend, straddle, then descend without risk. That's style!
