Dinner tonight -911
A large (all)homemade 16" pizza.
Made the dough:
2-3 cups flour
one package of yeast
1 TBS sugar
1 tsp salt
3 TBS olive oil
1 cup water
Kneeded that then let rise. Then pressed out large into a
16" diameter pizza pan.
Sauce: 1 can tomato sauce
2 tsp dried oregano
3 tsp dried basil
4 cloves fresh garlic, smashed and minced
Heated up, stirred then cooled to let all flavors blend.
Sauce (not quite all of it) spread on dough. Brushed out to
the very edges too so no plain crust.
At this point I had planned to put 1/2 the cheese on the sauce
before adding toppings but I forgot to thaw it so....
Then added toppings:
- 1 lb sliced white mushrooms
- equal volume of sliced onions
It's quite a bit of toppings.
All of that right out to the edges too.
Then I added the mozz cheeze (8oz) on top of it all.
Covered with plastic wrap and now letting it rise again for a bit
before cooking at 425F for about 20 minutes. Almost time to turn
on oven and finish it.
This giant pizza will yield 2 meals and 4 snacks. Something like
that.
(A little while longer): It's in the oven now and smelling nice
here. 6 more minutes or so. yummo
