Who doesn’t like pizza? I don’t know a soul. But how do you feel about making it at home? Best left to the pros? A quick read of Smitten Kitchen’s post on 10 Paths to Painless Pizza-making may change your mind. Deb, the lovely Ms. Smitten, puts the power of excellent homemade pizza in your own capable hands.
“But I don’t have a pizza stone,” you say—no problem.
“But I don’t have a pizza peel,” you say—no problem.
“But I’m scared of yeast, and I don’t have the time”—no problem.
“But I don’t have a kitchen, only a barbecue grill”—no problem.
Seriously, Deb makes it sound and look so easy you might just get hooked on this homemade-pizza racket. You might turn into someone like John Wilkin, who got so into pizza that he undertook A Year of Pizzas (don’t worry, that’s a pizza a week, not a pizza a day).
Say it with me now: power—whoops, I mean pizza—to the people!
Making pizza is so amazingly simple . . . I agree whole heartedly . . . pizza is my favourite vegetable. The dough recipe I use takes five cups of flour and for me makes three. The interesting thing is I make only one pizza at a time and the dough I keep in the fridge for the next two pizzas kinda gets boozy smelling and is better tasting. (gets too bad over about 5 days) 500 degrees for 8 minutes is hot and long enough for me.
