THE QUEEN
(A TWIST ON THE MARGHERITA)
By Giuseppe Cortinovis
Cortinovis’ winning pizza, “The Queen,” is a twist on the traditional Margherita.
His pizza was doublebaked. First, he baked it with San Marzano tomatoes and pecorino romano cheese to about 80 per cent doneness. He then took it out, added buffalo mozzarella and cooked it another 20 per cent. After baking the buffalo mozzarella so that it didn’t melt too much and retained some texture, he added extravirgin olive oil. The final touches are Maldon salt and basil. He explains: “I put the micro basil close to the edge, then I put the big basil in the centre. By doing this, I would like to show the life of the basil from when it’s small to when it’s fully grownuntil you get a big leaf in the centre.”

BEERAMEL SAUCE
By Andrew Dahl, Executive Chef Northern Maverick Brewing Co.
INGREDIENTS
5L wort
239.5 g sugar
157.7 g water
157.7 g 35% cream, at room temperature
229.5 g butter, room temperature, cubed
2.8 g vanilla
3.7 g sea salt
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large pot on high heat, reduce the wort down to 500ml, skimming along the way. The wort will become a glaze consistency, similar to maple sap reducing into maple syrup. Once it is reduced, set aside to cool.
2. To create the caramel sauce, add the sugar and water to a large, thick bottomed pot on high heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil, and reduce heat to medium high. Let simmer until it turns a dark brown colour, a little bit darker than your desired end point. Note: do not stir while simmering, as this will create sugar crystals in the end product.
3. When the sugar has turned dark brown, remove from heat and carefully whisk in the cream.
4. After whisking in the cream, whisk in the butter until it is melted and smooth.
5. Add the the Sea Salt and vanilla.
6. Finish by whisking in the wort reduction, to taste. The more you whisk in, the maltier the Beeramel will taste.
7. Serve drizzled on your favourite ice cream, or to dip fruit!
Different styles of beer will yield different flavour profiles of wort. It’s fun to see what different flavours you can create from the style of beer the wort originated from!

1g ground clove
2g ground ginger
Separate: melted butter for brushing finished product and powdered sugar for dusting.
MARZIPAN
200g almond flour
214g powdered sugar
7g almond extract
8g orange blossom water
43g egg white
3g salt
DIRECTIONS
The day before making the bread, mix the preferment by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and mixing by hand until all is thoroughly combined. Make sure this mixture does not go more than halfway up the bowl as it will grow. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours. In a separate bowl, combine the raisins and dried cherries and pour apple cider over them until they are completely submerged. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight. Lastly, make the marzipan. Combine all dry ingredients in a food processor, pulse to combine, then add all other ingredients and run until the mixture forms a thick paste. Remove from the food processor, plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, drain raisins and cherries and briefly pat dry. Set aside with the citrus, the toasted almonds and the softened butter. Warm the milk to room temperature. Combine the preferment, bread flour, spelt flour, sugar, salt, egg yolks, vanilla, warmed milk and spices. Mix on slow speed until incorporated. Once incorporated, mix on high speed for until the dough is smooth and shiny and balling up in the center of mixing bowl. Turn mixer down to slow and add the butter. Mix on slow until all incorporated. Add the citrus,
almonds, & the drained raisins & cherries. Mix until dispersed in dough evenly. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let proof for 2 hours. Dough should have risen slightly. Fold dough over itself, then cover and let sit in a warm area again for another 1.5 hours to 2 hours or until about doubled in size. Once ready, divide the dough in thirds, 500g each, and gently round. Let this dough rest while divide marzipan in thirds. Take each piece of marzipan and roll into a log about 1” thick and 4” long. Flatten the pieces of dough into a long oval, place one marzipan log in center of each piece of dough, then fold dough over the marzipan leaving a longer lip of dough on the bottom. Cover and let rest at room temperature for about 1.5 hours. While dough rises preheat oven to 350F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Melt some butter in a small pan and set aside. When the bread is risen, bake for 25 minutes, then rotate the tray 180 degrees, then bake another 15 minutes. When fully baked the bread should feel light and will reach an internal temperature of 190F. When baked, remove from the oven and brush immediately and generously with melted butter. Let cool for about an hour, then dust heavily with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
CORNBREAD STUFFING
By Chef Greg Wade
DIRECTIONS
In the evening on day 1, combine the cornmeal and buttermilk in a bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly combined. I like using a coarse cornmeal for this, but a fine cornmeal can be used if you prefer. Cover and let this mixture sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The next evening, preheat the oven to 400F. This will work best in cast iron pan, or something similarly heavy bottomed. Grease the pan and preheat in the oven. While the oven is preheating, combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk to combine thoroughly, then add the remaining wet ingredients, including the soaker, and
whisk until all the dries are absorbed. Pour into the preheated pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Test with a toothpick or cake tester by sticking it into the center of the cornbread, the tester should come out clean. If the pan is preheated properly the bottom should be just slightly more caramelized than the top, I actually like serving this cornbread by inverting the pan onto the serving platter and serving it with the more caramelized side up. If you are feeling indulgent, spread a pat of butter over the warm cornbread and drizzle with a little honey before cutting. INGREDIENT WEIGHT Soaker
Baking temperature: 240° C (464° F), dropping to 200° C (390° F), giving steam
Baking time: 15 – 18 minutes
Instructions for use: After the intermediate proof, divide the heads and mold round. Subsequently, shape the dough pieces long, place on trays and allow to proof. At full proof, load the dough pieces, giving steam, and bake until light coloured.
Smoked ham-Heavy sour cream batter:
Heavy sour cream
Smoked ham, diced
grated
Instructions for use: Mix all the ingredients homogeneously. Freeze the baked products after a short cooling phase and wrap in polythene bags for longer storage. Immediately before baking, thaw the baked products, halve and spread with approx. 0.800 kg (1 lb 12 oz) of the smoked ham-heavy sour cream batter. Subsequently, complete baking at approx. 220° C (428° F) for 10 – 12 minutes until the upper surface is golden yellow. General remark: Eat the baked products warm, if possible.

70g whole wheat bread flour
42g water
35g whole wheat starter (8–12 hours after last refreshment)
For the beetroot purée
300g raw beetroot
53g water
Stage 2: Dough mix
250g white bread flour
62g whole wheat flour
136g water
1ó tsp sea salt
rice flour, for dusting sunflower oil, for greasing
DIRECTIONS
1. Place all stage 1 starter ingredients in a 500ml (17fl oz) jar or container with a lid, cover and leave at room temperature for 4–6 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 220.C/425.F/ gas mark 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Wash, top and tail the beetroot and cut into wedges approximately 5 x 7.5cm (2 x 3 in). Place on the tray, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes–1 hour, being careful not to let them burn. The cooked beetrootshould be tender and easily pierced with a sharp knife. Allow to cool and then pur.e with the water in a food processor, until smooth, and set aside.
3. Combine the flours and water for stage 2, and 188g of the beetroot pur.e, in a large bowl and mix with a spoon or your hand until no dry patches of flour remain visible. Or, in a food mixer, mix for 2–3 minutes on low speed. Scrape down the sides, cover and leave for 30–60 minutes.
4. Add 135g of the starter to the bowl and squeeze the starter through the mix with your hand – use one hand rather than two; at this stage the dough is sticky and you are better off keeping one hand free of dough to hold the bowl. Add the salt and squeeze it through the dough.
5. Develop the dough in the bowl by hand mixing for 5–10 minutes (see
Step 4 on page 22). Alternatively, mix in a food mixer for another 2 minutes at low speed and 3–5 minutes at medium speed.
6. Use the sunflower oil to grease alarge mixing bowl or a rectangular flatbottomed glass or plastic container with a capacity of at least 2 litres (3.pints). Transfer the dough to the bowl or container, cover and rest for 20 minutes.
7. Fold the dough four times in total, leaving 20 minutes between each folding, then give the dough an additional hour to rest, without folding.
8. Pre-shape the dough following the pre-shaping steps on page 19.
9. Shape the dough into a round loaf following the instructions on pages 19–20.
10. Transfer the dough to a tray and cover with a tea towel then leave in the fridge for 12–18 hours.
11. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature for 40 minutes and place the cast iron pot inside. Once it is hot, lower the bread into the pan and place the lid on top and return to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 220C/425F/gas mark 7 and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the lid of the pot and bake for a final 10–15 minutes until it has reached the desired colour.

FRAGONI
By Sofia Butera, Il Sorriso Cafe & Pizzeria
Sofia Butera, owner of Il Sorriso Cafe & Pizzeria in Niagara Falls, Ont., has a pizza on her menu called Fragoni (also sometimes pronounced Fraguni).
It’s a dish that is made in many regions of Italy using specialty ingredients from different areas. In the north, for example, in Venice, they serve it with radicchio (purple leaf chicory).
Butera’s recipe is handed down from her parents, Aldo and Rosa Butera, who hail from the Lamezi, Calabria.
“My parents’ generation are happy we’re carrying on their traditions,” she says. “Hopefully it will never be lost but can be made any time of the year,” Butera says.
INGREDIENTS
DOUGH
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
500 g flour
FILLING
3 large eggs
1 250 ml container ricotta
Chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Add anything else you like in filling to create a savoury taste: hot salami, anchovies, sundried tomatoes, etc.
Alternatively, make it sweet. Add sugar to taste, raisins, etc.
DIRECTIONS
1. Dough: In a food processor or by hand mix liquids into dry ingredients. Add a little bit of water if dough is too dry. Knead it in to a nice soft ball. Wrap it in plastic. Let it rise in a warm place for at least one hour. Then knead and open it with a rolling pin to desired size and filling.
2. Place filling in the middle of the opened dough and pinch the edges to form a little enclosure. Some people make mini closedup versions like calzones (baked, not fried).
3. Cook at 350 F until the egg and crust is golden (about 15 to 20 minutes).
