DINNER: PIZZA

I love making pizza, its fun and easy. My dad loves the show take home chef (we all love it, but my dad might be slightly obsessed). Well one day the guy on the show bought a stone and paddle for the oven and got pizza dough from whole foods. Well two days later Ash and I were running around getting a stone, paddle and pizza dough from whole foods. We got our stone and paddle from Williams-Sonoma and we love them ... they definitely make it more fun too. 

What's awesome about pizza is that there are no limits ... you can put whatever your heart desires. This time we made two pizzas ... you layout the dough and pile it on.

PIZZA # 1
Red sauce ... we used 1 small tomato paste and 1 small tomato sauce, some white onion, a dash of garlic and some italian seasoning (oregano, tyme, red pepper)
Red Bell Pepper
Onions
Mushrooms
Roma Tomatoes
Mozzarella Cheese (the first time we did these pizzas we got the fresh mozzarella, its good but you can not grate it ... so this time we just went with the reg. already grated and it actually came out better ... it melted well)

PIZZA # 2
Pesto ... from whole foods. We got a red pepper pesto and a jalepeno pecan pesto (although it sounds weird ... it was sooo good, not spicy either)
Red Bell Pepper
Onions
Mushrooms
Artichoke Hearts
Roma Tomatoes
Black Olives
Mozzarella Cheese
Feta (added after it was cooked)

COOK at 375 until the crust is nicely browned and the cheese is starting to brown a little.
