sierciaThe other day when we were heading for Trader Joe's, Widget asked me how to make pizza. I explained how you make (or buy) the dough, roll it out (she's supremely fascinated by the tossing the dough up in the air concept), and the put whatever toppings you want on top. I told her that we could buy some dough and try it out if she wanted. Lo and behold, there was dough to be acquired right at TJ's. Huzzah!
Foolishly, I told her we could make pizza on Tuesday, as that was the soonest we would all be around for dinner. Not an optimal day for pizza making, given that it was aproximately a billion degrees out, but she was commited to the idea, and I don't like to break promises to her.
We had a blast! She rolled out her dough all on her own, let me pour her sauce on, and then did all her own toppings and cheese. We were completely unable to get the pies onto the already hot pizza stone (anyone have any suggestions on that?) and so baked them on a cookie sheet. They were delicious, although I think they'd have been better if we'd rolled the dough out thinner.
Now I'm all inspired (for when the weather cools down) to make pizza with all kinds of interesting toppings. Yum.
