On Making Pizza
A few months ago, there was a flurry in the blogosphere about DIY (do it yourself) pizza. We at Suburban Herbivore eschew being trendy; instead, we prefer to procrastinate… er, wait until some time has passed before writing about a topic so that it is all new and fresh again. Here’s a quick round-up of the pizza recipes, in no particular order, that landed in my blog reader in the latter half of March.
Friday Night Pizza from Animal Vegetable Miracle.
- Fast, Frugal, Flavorful Pizza from Scratch – Eat. Drink. Better.
- DIY Pizza – Mainstreet
- Inexpensive and Delicious Homemade Pizza – The Simple Dollar
- Deep Dish Pizza – The Paupered Chef
- Pizza Dough – Bitten
- Homemade Pizza Party – Eco Child’s Play
I’d meant to have tried many more of them by now. So far, I’ve made the pizzas from Eat. Drink. Better. (for which I have photos) and Mainstreet. I preferred the former because the crust came out thicker and chewier. The other recipe turned out a crust that was better-suited (in my opinion) for a pie. It was tasty, but not how I like my pizza.
Actually, the pizza that I’ve been making lately is Friday Night Pizza, published in Animal Vegetable Mineral by Barbara Kingsolver, and available in PDF online at http://www.animalvegetablemiracle.com/Recipes.html. It is not meant to be a speedy recipe (otherwise, it would be Monday Night Pizza), but it is definitely delicious. The recipe makes two 12-inch pizzas.
Rolled-out crust and sauce for Eat. Drink. Better. pizza.
Artichoke hearts and tomatoes for toppings.
Baked and delicious!
