account of three ratio boxes  one I hope that it's not something too crazy   under there - hoping it's gonna be something  dessert related [Music] what you're looking   at is the classic baking stone it is the tool  of choice when baking the perfect artisan pizza   pizza can do this this is not my forte we want  to see a unique and innovative artisan pizza   one with surprising textures and delicious  flavor combinations we provided you with a   specialty pantry in the equipment room filled  with an array of gourmet ingredients you have   60 minutes to prepare your dough and then top  and bake your pizza the home cook who impresses   us the most will receive a huge advantage in the  upcoming elimination challenge are you ready I'm   going to come over guns blazing there's nothing  that's gonna stand in my way time starts [Music] hot water hot water coming through careful guys  I am like a kid in a candy store oh look at   this look at this I see spinach I see smoked  salmon I want to take on a Florentine pizza if you underestimate how difficult it can be to  create a perfect pizza you're already losing we're   asking them to be innovative they've got a great  pantry to select from sometimes if you have too   many options you're over complicate things so I'm  looking for somebody who really understands all   the flavors and exactly what they're doing I just  put a little bit of maple syrup in my dough baby   I'm gonna make a black mission fig pizza today  with a few other interesting toppings it's gonna   be awesome I'm gonna make a steak and mushroom  pizza really like to show them that you know I   belong what would you do I would do a mushroom  pizza a little onion maybe a wonderful lights   but aromatic cheese who are you I would do  a white pizza that would do a little bit   of cream cheese that would do a lot of this smoke  salmon some caramelized leeks I'm going for pizza   a white pizza like a pizza Bianco ricotta with  some beautiful figs balsamic and honey I make   pizza at home and some in my sister's things  doing this for her what's wrong with dessert   pizza I see peaches pears all these fruits will  bake well I'm making a peach and fig with a bit   of Stilton and goat cheese just gonna try to get  creative I have to admit I don't often it eats up you have 30 minutes laughs David yes chef  tell me what what you've decided to put   on top of your pizza mine's gonna be a  vegetarian pizza I call it the fun guy   just like me it's gonna be all all mushrooms  and what is this that's a made of duxelle   chopped mushrooms onion little garlic or cook  downs looks good thank you David best of luck and now we pray and it's very tricky to do this properly  everything needs to work crust sauce toppings   control of the heat Lynn made a cream sauce for  her seafood she's been a very nice crust Sabrina's   pizza does not look right way too much pressed on  the exterior I like what David's doing he's had   a little cream to his duxelle so it's made it  very creamy and rich five minutes five minutes   left you know what I really elegant pizza is this  plate it has the fried egg on top I love that ten   nine eight seven six five four three two one the  eggs not quite where I wanted to be that looks   it looks perfect the shiitakes are nice and brown  I'm happy after observing and sampling throughout   the challenge the judges will now take one  final look to select the top pizzas for tasting you had 60 minutes to create a masterchef-worthy  artisan pizza there are three pizzas that we   can't wait to take a closer look at the first  home-cooked we like to call up made a pizza   that show both finesse and craftsmanship they  better try this pizza it looks please come   up David come on Dave Dave I call it the

to the center absolutely wonderful   nakisha you've taken a single ingredient  mushrooms and made it shine on your   wonderful pizza nicely done Thank You chef  it looks like something but I really want to   sink my teeth in the arooga perfectly  flavored with a little bit of acidity   from the atomic bricks into the richness  of the cheese I like it Thank You chef the second home-cooked that we'd like to call  up come on feels that they have something to   prove in this competition I am positive during the  clowning the pizza that we want to see belongs to   [Music] Jennifer [Music] I did what I call summer fresh and it  teaches and cheddar balsamic glazed   walnuts and a little bit of basil and  mint the bounce the bacon cheese peach not only can you cook you  can cook with style [Music] that balance of sweet and savory you managed to  make it work and that is not easy and if I could   give any of you other home cooks a little advice  that would be not to underestimate Jennifer that   is an amazing pizza well then this is the big  turning point for me in this competition now my   competitors can see what I'm really capable of  the third home cook on our list used a refined   combination of beautiful ingredients and that  home cook was Cody this magical creation is me   on a pizza very coder chef I call this pizza  the fifth dimension that has carmelized fennel   sauteed chanterelle and blue foot mushrooms  beautiful black mission figs quail's egg on   top the sauce is a reduction of cream is done  with a sherry wine and balsamic vinegar gastrique   essence of
