Smoked Salmon-Belly Pizza on BBQ Sauce

How to make pizza dough and bbq sauce from scratch with salmon-belly topping

Location : Cebu City, Philippines

Pizza Dough

Three ways to bring your pizza dough to Pizza Nite:

buy uncooked pizza dough from a pizza joint (easy and fun)
buy a ready-made cooked pizza crust from the grocery (easy but not fun)
make your own pizza dough from scratch, as follows: (challenging and most fun)

Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup warm water (between 85° and 115° F)
- 2 tbsp yeast (I like my dough a little yeasty. You can use less)
- 2 tbsp sugar or honey (I use Muscovado sugar)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preparation:
1. Making the sponge/poolish
  Mix water, sugar, yeast and 1 cup regular flour in a bowl. Cover until it starts to bubble (first rising, around 45 mins). This can now be used. However, if you want a more flavorful pizza dough, keep this covered in the fridge overnight or a full 24 hours.
2. Kneading
  Mix the rest of the ingredients (flour, salt and oil) and start kneading (tip: press on with your body weight, not just your arm power). The dough should be soft without being sticky. Too sticky, add flour. Too hard, add water. You're done when the dough bounces back when you poke your finger onto it. Cover until double in size (2nd rising, around 45 mins).
3. Scaling and shaping
  Punch the dough to take the air out. You can cut it up and use only what you need. You can cut it up into 3 and shape them into balls - one of those balls should be good to make one 13" regular pizza. You can freeze the 2. Flatten one ball into a circular shape. I usually flatten it on the same tray I will bake on so I don't have to make a transfer - I just apply a little oil on the tray before flattening. Using both hands, one on top of the other, press from the center outwards to stretch it in all directions. You can flatten it more by using a rolling pin (or wine bottle). Take a fork and put puncture holes all over the dough to keep it from bubbling up while cooking (which also holds the sauce in place). Wait until double in size (3rd and last rising).
4. the dough is now ready for baking

For a more complicated pizza dough but much better, here's a video by Vito Iacopelli

BBQ Sauce

Ingredients:

1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 bulb garlic, crushed
pepper

Preparation:

mix all the above ingredients with a whisk until well blended. It's ready to be used for basting. This sauce is ideal for ribs

Toppings

Ingredients:

salmon-belly strips
butter
olives
capers
salt and pepper
olive oil

Preparation:

pan-fry the salmon, capers and olives until medium. Remove from heat. The rest of the cooking will be done while top-browning the pizza
spread the pizza sauce on top of the dough, add the salmon belly, olives, capers. Last, add the cheese on top.
turn the oven heat on to 210⁰C or 410⁰F. If you have a heating element on top, place an aluminum foil on top of the bread to keep it from burning, but remove it on the last 5 minutes for top browning. The bread is done if it sounds hollow when you tap on it.
drizzle with a light extra virgin olive oil before serving. Enjoy!

Ending Thoughts
Salmon-belly pizza is over-the top by any pizza benchmark. Invite the right friends and a little wine and you have a party right there!

Yoga Adjustment and Alignment

(Nov 11, 2015) It is standard practice for a yoga teacher to align the student for proper body geometry or to adjust the student to sink deeper into the pose. Does it follow then that a student who can reach his toes is doing better yoga than the one who can't? If a perfect yoga pose is going to your safety edge and taking refuge in the breath, then why is it necessary to adjust the student to sink deeper into the pose?..more »»

Cebu City to Siquijor by Bus, via Liloan (Santander)

(as of Jan 2023)

Sugbo Urban
There is only one bus plying this route - Sugbo Urban. Tourist class coach, a/c, comfortable, Sun-Fri (these dates keep changing). P420 for bus, P275 for ferry to Liloan. Leaves Cebu City (South Bus Terminal) at 8 pm (Sundays 1 am), heads south to Liloan (Santander), takes the ferry to Larena Port, Siquijor, docks around 5 am, makes a clockwise roundtrip around Siquijor Island - Larena, Enrique Villanueva, Maria, Lazi (stops at Lazi market for breakfast and leaves 6:50 am), San Juan, Siquijor (arrives 8am, P50 from Lazi to Siquijor Poblacion) and catches the 1pm ferry at Larena Port for Liloan, Cebu and resumes its land route. Arrives Cebu City 10 pm.

Sugbo Urban is the cheapest and most convenient way because when it reaches Larena Port (Siquijor), it continues its trip around the island (clockwise) along the circumferential road, passing through - Enrique Villanueva, Maria, Lazi, San Juan, Siquijor...and back to Larena. It spares you the cost of hiring a tricycle or habal-habal which charges exhorbitant fares. Besides, it's a long trip to the other side of the island to be taking by tricycle.
