in my oven right now
Nov. 29th, 2005 09:10 pmcomplete scratch-built pizza.
I'll be well impressed if this works. My attempt to "throw" the dough resulted in one of my guitar-pickin' fingernails puncturing it, so I resorted to sort of pawing it out flat instead.
update: Wow. Not bad. The major faults, combined, are that the dough was still a little too thick and the tomato a little too liquid, resulting in the cheese-facing side of the base being a little gooey. Plus, I overcooked it slightly so the cheese on top was browner than I normally go for, but not actually burnt. And I forgot to add the pineapple chunks, dammit. Oh well. Far better than I expected, and enough to stash half and have later in the week when I'm too lazy to cook. This along with last night's double-bake of lasagne means I can put off cooking until Friday if I feel so inclined.
