Pizza
Deborah made the tomato sauce, I made the dough (Marcella Hazan's recipe, see below) and we baked them on a pizza stone at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Perfect.
Pizza dough
3 c flour
2 t salt
2 t fast rising yeast
2 T olive oil
1 c warm water
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. When fully combined, dump onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 minutes. Move to a bowl with a damp tea towel on top and place in a warm place for 3 hours.
Pizza sauce
an onion
couple of cloves of garlic
1 can diced tomatoes
table spoon of olive oil
dab of butter
small bit of chili peppers
some salt
some basil
The measures in the sauce part are rough, I'm afraid - Deborah does her thing by taste and sight.
The sauce is cooked down until it is thick and then you spread it on the dough (which you've flattened into two pizza circles), cover with chunks of ham and a couple of types of cheese - we used jalapeño Monterey and havarti because that is what was on hand.
