Still Making Pizza

I do cook other things besides pizza (really!), but I have to say it’s my new favourite thing to make now. From start to finish, I can whip up a tasty pizza in less time than it would take to call for take out, and a fraction of the cost. The extra counterspace makes suuuuch a difference in the prep!

The covered bowl holds a water/yeast/sugar mixture, the little bowl was about to hold those scrumptious onions, all the ingredients for the dough were out, and I STILL HAD SPACE LEFT!!!

This time, I put a bit too much oil in the crust by accident, so I had to add extra flour to compensate. The result was more of a biscuit than a traditional pizza crust. It was awesome! I wouldn’t want it every time I have pizza, but for tonight it was a nice change. I also didn’t have any stretchy mozzarella, which is normally a pizza-must, but, again, tonight’s cheddary topping was perfect.

I’m all out of fireweed ale, so I had white wine with dinner. It was a great pairing.
