It was pizza night at the Schenk house. I put on my Betty Crocker smile while Amber shot some pics (she was the photographer), and Taylor and I did our best to make the pizzas to order. David got in on the action too. I forgot it took 2 hours to make pizza dough in the bread-maker, so we ate rather late...oh well. We just served them chips and dip as an appetizer while we were busy in the kitchen. It is so much easier to buy pizza ready-made, but this was way more fun. We made a hawaiian pizza and a half pepperoni/half veggie & pepperoni pizza. They were both consumed rather quickly...no leftovers. I was rather pleased with the end product. I always think it's nice to know what you're eating, and when you make it yourself...you know. We had rave reviews from everyone in the family and were encouraged to make it again some time. Perhaps if we do it more often, we'll stream-line the process and it will go a little faster. Or, maybe we just need to enlist some more hands!
Yum!! Did you know that you can 1 1/2 the recipe for the dough in the bread maker? I've done it a few times so we get more--two pizzas is barely enough for us. It doesn't seem to do anything to bread maker, so I'm tempted to try a full double recipe.
ReplyDeleteBut lately I've been buying the round pita type things at Foodland--they are $3 for 10 and the family loves them for crusts. Everyone makes their own.
Isn't blogging great? Have you seen blurb.com? You can make your blog into a book. That's our goal, but I haven't done it yet.
