Making Pizza

Do you get the impression from reading this blog that our family really likes Pizza?
You are RIGHT!
Honestly, our favorite pizza is our own homemade.
Secret 1. Put dried parmesan cheese and italian spices in the dough for the crust.

We have found that the best pizza is cooked on cast iron.
A pizza stone turns out a nice crust as well.

Secret 2. Always use olive oil. Put some on the pan and sprinkle with garlic salt and corn meal.
{If using a stone don't add oil. Sprinkle the stone with corn meal before sliding pizza on. Stones are heated up with the oven and then you put the pizza on when you are done preparing it. }

Many hands make light work.

Haley has a code that she puts atop each pizza so we can tell what's under all the cheese.


We happily wait to eat it.
[Gretchen may be smiling because of the company as well.]

Is spreading pizza sauce similar to spreading glue??

Pizza is fun to make. My aunt makes really good pan pizza (in the cast iron pan). My mom's first attempt at pizza.. she didn't let it sit long enough, so it was soupy. We called it soup pizza. It was still delicious however:)

NO! Pizza sauce is not sticky nor does it typically go in 12' by 9' spaces. Pizza sauce (which by the way looks very good) goes on very easily--glue takes some talent.
But it does raise the question, which is better: pizza or a newly carpeted floor? Pizza tastes much better, but the floor lasts much longer-especially when many hungry mouths are around.
