This is Not Round Table

Our good friend B gave Bobbie a recipe for homemade pizza dough. I was tagged for this dangerous assignment. After mixing the ingredients, you are supposed to 'beat vigorously.' I used a whisk. As I started my vigorous beating, the dough all got stuck inside the whisk. Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to deal with that? Pull the sticky mess out with your fingers and use your hands...

The picture above is not pretty, but I have to say the pizza is pretty good. The cheese, pepperoni and sauce came from three 'western' stores and the vegetables came from the local market.

Here is the end result.

It's pretty good, if I say so myself.

Here's the recipe if you want it:

1 Tbsp yeast
1 cup warm water
1 Tsp sugar
1 Tsp salt
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2.5 cups of flour

Dough
1. Dissolve yeast in water
2. Stir in remaining ingredients
3. Beat vigorously (good luck)
4. Let dough rest at least 5 minutes
5. Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C)

1. Spread dough on greased pizza pan (I used chinese 'crisco')
2. Spread tomato (pizza) sauce over dough
3. Sprinkle italian herbs over sauce (I used parsley, thyme & basil)
4. Mozz cheese over all
5. Meat/vegetables on top
6. Bake 20 minutes
