The One With the Char Spots and a Collage to Prove It

March 2011 gets the full documentary treatment: a wide shot of a well-charred pepperoni pizza on a wire rack, plus a multi-panel collage covering the whole process from multiple angles. Someone was really invested in getting this one right, and by the look of the leopard-spotted crust, it worked.

Invented detail: I’m going to say the oven ran hotter than usual that day and it turned into a happy accident rather than a plan. Sometimes the best crust char is just luck.
