why is mozzarella cheese wrong?
btw the correct spelling is gruyere
as far as i know pizza always using mozzarella cheese. For this recipe it's better using the thin sliced mozzarella cheese rather than using the shreded mozzarella. It will make the cheese looks more neat and runny when it's served. For this kind of pizza you can check www.chicagopizzaandovengrinder.com.
Conceived by the owner in his Chicago Law Office while Dreaming of "il gran giorno" when he would open his restaurant, the Pizza Pot Pie has become a favorite of world-wide pizza connoisseurs who have graced the Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company since its inception in 1972.
so yummy, i just made this then. try adding some chilli flakes when you serve it for extra spice, also get some good pork sausage for the inside. the dough is a lot of work, you could always go to a pizza place and ask them if you can just buy some dough from them for the recipe, saves a hell of a lot of time...
