Yes, wert. Look it up.
Every so often, Charlie and I take a hankerin’ fer pizza. When we do, we don’t go out and buy some. I make it. Because we’re cheap hippie weirdo freaks particular.
Pizza
Mix 1/3 cup flour, about 1/2 tablespoon salt, about 1/2 tablespoon yeast, and enough water to make a dough. Knead flour into it until it doesn’t stick to the bowl. Cover lightly and let it rise while you fix the toppings.
Also, preheat the oven with a pizza pan in it to 450F.
Cut up mushrooms and onions, and cook them in a little olive oil until they’re soft. Do bell peppers, too, if you want to. I wish I’d had some. Add some chicken or, as in our case, vegan “chicken”, sliced olives, and some fresh spinach.
When all that is hot, I stirred in some cream cheese so it would all hold together.
Then I rolled out the dough as thin as I could and spread some garlic-flavored olive oil on it. I carefully lifted it up and slapped it onto the pizza stone.
I distributed the toppings all over the dough and topped it with Parmesan, asiago, Romano, and mozzarella cheeses.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the bottom is browned and the cheese on top starts to toast.
Oh, MAN, this was good!

I get ours from:
Za’s Pizza, in the Highlands. We are just at the edge of their delivery area.
But I’d like some of yours! A pizza stone! I’m missing this from my arsenal of cookery tools. Some day, perhaps 😉

March 12, 2014 at 10:17amI’ve heard that Za’s is super-good. You and I went to a pizza place on Frankfort, didn’t we? That was good, as I recall.

March 12, 2014 at 1:55pmI’ve recently learned how to make pizza dough from scratch (thank you YouTube!), but I kept failing to find the right type of tomato sauce for the base.
Two days ago, I attempted to make my own tomato sauce instead (filled with garlic, herbs and mushrooms) and now my home made pizzas taste perfectly delicious (even if I do say so myself!). 🙂

March 12, 2014 at 3:01pmSounds delicious! Do you begin with fresh tomatoes, or with canned tomato sauce that you turn into your own magic deliciousness?

March 13, 2014 at 11:20amBoth! (kinda…)
I start with canned plum tomatoes and begin building the base from there.
I think I may have just caught the cooking bug. 🙂

March 13, 2014 at 2:50pmIt’s a good bug to catch. ~grin~ I’ll have to see if I can find canned plum tomatoes around here. Better yet, I’ll wait until the farmers’ market opens and freeze some fresh ones. 😉

March 12, 2014 at 3:02pmOh, Chris, that’s SO SAD! Not even by ordering them? Or would the shipping be cost-prohibitive? Do you have unglazed terra-cotta tiles? ‘Coz I think you could use those.
