Sarah's November Recipe - Homemade Pizza!

At last, I have made Sarah's recipe...six days into the new month!

This recipe made me wistful for the pizza Mom made for us when we were little.  Sadly, I remember how ungrateful we were.  What a treat to have to someone make you homemade pizza, and all I said was "I want Domino's".  I am sorry Mom!

This recipe was incredibly easy to make, you just have to plan ahead.  The crust was very tasty, but my skill at stretching it was woeful.  I used the dough to make four pizzas, and think I would do three next time.  Or, make four and just make smaller rounds (or try to anyway).

Pizza #1: sauteed onions, Fontina cheese, a little truffle salt and some arugula and olive oil when it came out (sorry about the picture, my camera battery died):



Pizza #2: homemade tomato sauce (from Goop), mozerella, alepo peppers:



It actually looks like a slice of pizza!

Pizza #3: Fig jam and Fontina -- dessert pizza!



And Pizza #4: Same as #2, just a little more square:



My oven, of course, left something to be desired.  By pizza #3, I came to the conclusion that 4 minutes at 500 with the door closed, followed by 4 minutes with the door ajar and the broiler on, produced the best pizza.

I will definitely make this again.  Thanks for the good pick, Sarah!
