Pizza the art of making something edible from flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt and Olive oil. It is one of the coolest things to make. The way dough follows the form of your hand as you stretch it. Encouraging it into the shape of a pie. Remember this was a cup of flour just hours ago.  It is awesome to create a food that few know how to make from scratch, and yet pizza is a favorite for nearly everyone. In this country number one is hamburgers and number two hotdogs, but everyone knows how to make those. When you finally find that perfect pizza recipe, and become comfortable making it, it could become a weekly occurrence, like at our home. That being said, last night, after years of making hundreds of pizzas, I have finally mastered a “really” good dough recipe. I have tweaked it, a little more salt, twice that in sugar, a touch of olive oil, garlic butter on the crust, details details, it is where I think it should be. Add a tomato sauce or Alfredo, assorted ingredients, or just pepperoni, my favorite. 

So now I have a pizza crust that is wonderful as pepperoni rolls, garlic knots, it is a family favorite. There is nothing more rewarding then cooking a meal, that your family looks forward to eating and is big enough to share with friends and loved ones. Or to have left overs for breakfast, cold pizza, that is it, pizza my number one food. So Give it a shot. Don’t be a afraid to try, and give me a shout if you have any difficulties. Remember it is just flour, water and yeast. How hard could it be. I mean it only took me 45 years to find the “perfect” recipe for cold pizza in the morning. Enjoy. M.
