The Homemade Pizza Experiment

October 14th, 2008

My new found semi-vegetarianism has led us to a few new recipes. Something I really wanted to try was homemade pizza because well…it’s got pizza in the title. 

The Inspiration: We followed the cast iron skillet method. 

The Skinny: Instead of making our own dough (ha) we went down the street to Anthony’s and got some from them. Then we sauteed mushrooms and onions and, cut up some fresh mozz and other veggies and defrosted sauce from the freezer.

The Verdict: The pizza was amazing! Each pizza only takes 2 minutes to cook. The annoying part was that we didnt know how it would come out so we did one small piece at a time. This is NOT the method to use at your next pizza party. Its very sloooowwwww. You have to wait a few minutes between for the oven to get hot again, or the crust will not be right. We basically stood in the kitchen eating our salads while waiting for the skillet to heat up.  Also - we did not need most of the toppings, we are happy with mushrooms and a lil onion.

The always important upskirt:

Perfection! It was totally worth it! I think Fridays are going to be homemade pizza night at our house.
