Im not a big fan of pizza.. never really have been, Craig on the other hand cant get enough of it. I know it seems almost un-American of me but there was just something about the canned tomato sauce, greasy cheese, and lack of nutrition that kept pizza off my list of favorite foods. This was just the kind of thing to invoke my creativity and find a solution to keep us both happy.
I had read up on making pizza dough and kind of lost interest when it seemed overly involved. Then this week while on my weekly Trader Joe's run, I came across their brand of pizza dough for $1.29! I bought it and figured if I knew I had everything in the house to make an awesome pizza I probably would, so off to the cheese section I went! I came home with Motzerella, ricotta, parmisan and a fabulous pesto!
I sliced up some garlic and crushed a red pepper my sister grew and dried for me and we were ready to make pizza! I even found a jar of artichoke hearts in my cabinet and figured i could use that too. I have to say, I found that stretching the dough into a perfect circle was damn near impossible so Craig and I had a sorta rectangular pizza. . . . it was special like us. ha. It was easier that you could imagine once I won the battle with the dough. Pop that bad boy in at 450 degrees and 15-20 minutes later............ BAM! Awesome pizza, happy fiance, easy clean up and something pizza related I could actually stand to eat that didn't remind me of living in student housing.. so all in all- new recipe NAILED! Go me. Now go buy all this stuff so you can make this and be happy too..
