I have NEVER cooked to accommodate the Fam’… (yeah, right)
I have ALWAYS cooked the food I like to eat… (uh, huh)
Made ONE meal whether it be lunch or dinner… and that’s what’s put on the table… (now, that’s true)
Eat it OR STARVE 😎 (no starvation around here)
Pizza… now, I CAN allow myself to be a WEE BIT FLEXIBLE…
I make the bases (NOT BY HAND… because I’m NOT A DOMESTIC GODDESS… I’m a hard-working, stay-at-home Mum with LIMITS 😝)
So, I buy good quality RAW Dough and start THERE!!
2 boxes will make more than enough for 4 Pizzas… so, a little manipulation is called for…
AND we ALL like a THIN CRUST… so, this how I achieve that…
Either roll…
OR get CHEF-Y… and stretch it by hand…
Over clenched FISTS…
And try to throw it in the air… and turn it round…
It’s FUN to try anyway!!
Once that’s done… cut each large round in half…
I use scissors…
Now we have 4 Pizzas looking a bit like Flatbreads… who cares!!
Coat the base with a concentrated Tomato Sauce made for Pizzas…
I prefer Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce for PIZZAS!!
Place the Dough on sheets of parchment paper on heavy duty All-Clad cookie sheets
Here’s a link to my review of the All-Clad Baking Sheets…
Now for the toppings…
FRESH TOMATOES…
I slice them and then dress the Pizza as desired!!
Same with Mushrooms….
Mozzarella…
The boys’ busy hands at work…
Kalamata Olives…
Pepperoni and some fried up Sausage Meat…
FRESH BASIL…
And dried Oregano…this flavor is what makes Pizza “PIZZA” to me…
Drizzle LIGHTLY with Olive Oil…
Season…
JOB DONE!!
Well… the boys’ Pizzas are ready to go in… I still need to do mine!!
After they have been in at 400 for a few minutes–say 5–and warmed up slightly…
I crack an Egg on top of a couple of them…
..
FAB!!!
Cook for a further 20 minutes or until the Egg is done…
SERVE 😋
Save any leftovers!!
The idea of everyone getting to make a personalized Pizza is a GREAT treat for a children’s birthday party!!
The Pascals have been doing it FOREVER!!
