holy crap you guys it was so good
Ok, so the homemade pizza recipe is awesome. In fact, we’ve made it three times already and our grocery list always includes “whatever we need to make more pizza.” We have, however, had to tweak the dough recipe a bit. Here’s the original. Ours follows:
schuyler mixin' it up
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano, plus any other herbs we have at the time (basil, rosemary etc)
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, beaten (into submission)
1 cup milk
We didn’t change anything else, so I won’t type out the rest here. Just visit that link for complete instructions. We did find that the crust tends to form huge gas bubbles, we’re still working on that problem.
i wasn't kidding about the bubbles
We also grease the baking sheet with olive oil, because it’s a crappy baking sheet that everything in the world sticks to and we’d never get our pizza off of it otherwise. Although come to think of it, maybe the olive oil is causing it to stick… I’ll have to investigate further, next time we make pizza (probably tonight, it is awesome.)
And now, the toppings. The beauty of homemade pizza is, of course, choosing your own toppings. We’re still looking for our favorites, but the consensus is that sausage is excellent but chicken is also excellent and a lot cheaper.
pesto, for those times when you don't want anyone to stand close to you for at least three days
ordering pizza is expensive because someone else has to do all this slicing
We’re still adjusting the dough recipe and looking for the perfect toppings, but once we have it down we’ll share our Masterpiece Pizza with the world.
