Ingredients/Directions - Trader Joe’s pizza dough - Thinly sliced provolone (“stella provolone”), placed on top of dough before applying tomatoes - Crushed tomatoes on top of provolone - Shredded mozzarella (Polly-O Whole Milk) - Grated parmigiano reggiano Notes This was an excellent pie.  This was my first time using provolone, and I must say, the results were superb.  The provolone adds a certain mild pungency, a certain je ne sais quoi. The first pie I made this evening, which I sadly did not take a picture of, used the exact same ingredients.  HOWEVER, I placed both the provolone and mozzarella on top of the sauce.  Further studies comparing the difference between under-sauce and over-sauce cheesing methods will need to be conducted.
