Pizza with the Parents


Pizza's one of those things that I like being able to make at home, especially because it lends itself well to that "whatever's in the fridge" kind of cooking.  These pizzas were a collaboration between me, my brother, and my dad-- pretty much everything but the sausage and cheese is handmade.  We started this by making the dough, which is much simpler than it might seemed; we used a focaccia bread recipe and built off it.  We also made a gluten-free crust for G from a Cup4Cup mix, which worked out fine.  This was a family dinner, so my dad brought up the pizza stones that he uses all the time-- one of the things I actually do miss from the cafe is the built-in stone in the oven!-- so were were able to get great crusts on them. My dad provided a fantastic fresh tomato sauce and the end of this summer's pesto, which combined into a fantastic sauce.

And, of course, there were no leftovers. :D
