Pizza Night!

Tonight was Family Night. I made our homemade pizza again. I like this new tradition!

Homemade Pizza Night, Round 3!

This week, I think we had a complete success.  The dough came out pretty good, though not quite as chewy as last week.  The toppings all behaved, and there was no soup on top.  Shauna said this was our best one so far.

Things I changed, this time, I used sea salt, instead of Morton's Table Salt.  I also baked at 550, on normal bake, instead of convection bake.  I read that might cause the dough to come out a little less chewy, so I might mess with that a little bit.

Homemade Pizza Night, Round 2

Last week, I wasn't super happy with how the crust turned out.  This week, I let the dough rise for an hour, before I put it in the fridge over night, then let it warm up for a couple hours, before we put it in the oven.  I also put a little less salt in the dough.  This time around, the dough was much more fluffy, and looked perfect.

The problem we ran into this week was... I think the mushrooms released a ton of moisture, so the pizza was soupy on top when we pulled it out of the oven.  So the dough under the toppings was a little soggy.  I think we need a pizza stone to pull moisture out of the dough while it's cooking, to get a crisper crust under the toppings.  Also, we might try canned mushrooms, instead of fresh mushrooms.

Homemade Pizza Night!

Friday was homemade Pizza night, a new tradition we're starting, that I stole from a friend.  Here's our first attempt:

Doctor's Follow up

So as most know, I've had surgery lately.  Something funny though I had to share.  At my follow up the doctor was checking out my scars/stitches, and I said owww, is that still supposed to hurt?  His response? "Yeah, you should still hurt, you know, like after you've been stabbed."  I had to laugh, he expected me to know what it felt like to be stabbed, you mean, I haven't been stabbed? Knock on wood! This is ONE thing that I haven't had the experience of!
