I was listening to the Bon Appetit foodcast and they just had to talk about pizza and pasta. And it just happened to also be about what fresh vegetables are great in both. And it just happen to be a beautiful sunny day out. So obviously, the pizza was calling my name. I decided to wing it on the dough, and use a lot of stuff I learned from the podcast. Like what to put on the pizza before it goes into the oven and what goes on right after it came out. I also learned a highly advanced technique of not cooking the hand made tomato sauce at all before using it for pizzas, in order to give it a fresher taste. If you don't like tomatoes it's definitely not for you, but it was delicious! But the stars of the show were the fresh basil and the pizza dough. I just threw some flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil together to make it and it turned out great. I'm constantly amazed by how easy bread can be to make and how terribly difficult it can be. We'll probably get to finishing the French and Italian breads really soon!
