More Pizza!

This was the third or fourth time we've made pizza.

I can't remember if we used a different dough recipe this time or not. Mandy is typically in charge of the dough-making. We did bake the crust again without toppings for about 5 minutes, and then for a few minutes with the toppings. It seemed to work out a little too well. It may have had something to do with the pan we used (a dark baking sheet vs light baking sheet) or the recipe.

In the end, the crust's texture resembled a Celeste frozen pizza. It was pretty crispy and not very chewy. It was pretty good, but not the best we've had.

Here was Mandy's pizza, burnt to her exact specifications:


And here was my pizza, looking perfect (if I may say so):

Pizza!

So this was try number two at pizza in the apartment.

A few things we desperately need before we make pizza again:

1. Corn Meal - We've been dusting the pan with flour. It's just not the same. The bottom tastes, well, like uncooked flour.
2. A pizza stone (or an unglazed stone from home depot) - The dough doesn't get crispy on the bottom, just kind of chewy.

The tomato sauce was still great though, and it only took 10 minutes or so to make.

We also enjoyed the finest French wine $7 would buy us:


It honestly doesn't have that much flavor, but was a perfectly drinkable table wine. It gets a 1 on the Joe Cooks Dinner and Stuff Binary Wine Grading Scale.
