A picture of tonight's dinner, fresh out of the oven, and made entirely from scratch.
A typical Sunday night sup, the dough (1pkg yeast, 1 c. warm water, 3 1/4 c. flour, 1 tbsp extra v. olive oil, basil, and garlic powder) was kneaded by my KitchenAid Mixer for 8 minutes and rested for 10, got rolled out in cornmeal and plopped on two pre-heated baking stones, was topped with homemade tomato sauce, heaps of mozzarella, salami (though not homemade, i did slice it myself), homegrown peppers, and mushrooms. Bake these two pies for 18 minutes at 425F and you're sure to please all the hungry bellies in your family.
Homemade pizza is relatively fast and inexpensive - my estimated expense on tonight's meal is $1.50 to feed 2 adults and one toddler with a whole pizza left over - not to mention healthy. And i ought to say that it's enjoyable kitchen time, particularly when i have a pair of 3 year old hands eagerly asking to help roll-out the dough and place all the toppings - one...by one... by one....

I love making homemade pizza, and I have a great whole wheat pizza dough recipe if you are interested :)
E, Where did you get your baking stones? It's next on my list to get, but am looking for a reputable source:)
Wow! I am absolutely impressed!
There was a season in our life when Dad made homemade pizzas. We need to revive that!
And very tasty pizza it is indeed. Thank you for feeding us last week.
Expectantes - like the KitchenAid mixer, they were a gift from santa a few years back. But i doubt they came from the North Pole.
the mom - i'd love the recipe!
