Friday Night Slice: No Red Sauce? No Problem.

fig jam genoa salami pizza | dailywaffle
The thing about pizza it's easy to fall into a toppings rut.  You can never go wrong with a good, basic slice of pepperoni with red sauce, but what about when you don't have any tomatoes or jarred marinara on hand? No sauce? No problem. Open the fridge. You got some jam or fruit butter in there? Now hold on, I'm not suggesting we go all peanut butter and jelly on this pizza, though I did have it once in the '80s at a place in Pacific Grove, CA.  No, this week's Friday Night Slice is uncured Columbus Genoa salame, mozzarella and fig butter.  You get a bit of the sweet from the fruit butter and a little salty from the salame. Top it after baking with some grated parmesan and a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley.

Bent Snowboard Pizza with Seeds

Pizza is the #1 food in America, according to the results of a recently released Oxfam survey of more than 16,000 people globally, followed by steak, chicken, Mexican food and pasta. Pizza is #2 in Germany and #5 in Brazil. I can't say I'm surprised about the US result (although I thought #1 would be burgers). Pizza night - whether homemade or take-out - is almost a weekly occurrence for us. That being the case, you'd think I'd be a lot better at rolling the dough into a circle. But when it comes to pizza, I'm geometrically-challenged. Not unlike my experience in 10th grade geometry, I understand the technique, but there's a disconnect between my brain and the rolling pin. It does make for interesting shapes -- oblongs, rectangles, squares. I'd say this one is between bent snowboard and Christmas stocking.
