O Pizza, My Pizza, How Tasty Thou Wert

Posted on by

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.

pizzaCut 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!

    Yum, pizza!
    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 😉

    I’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!). 🙂
