Friday night is Pizza Night in the Wright House....read that fast, you may have thought I said, White House. LOL. I love a good cheesy slice of pizza anytime. There's lots of great pizzerias here in the BSpa, but every once in a while I like to venture out and make my own! I believe it's a skill that you must acquire in order to make a good pizza. I think I have that skill, well to a certain extent, of course. Give me a glass a wine and I may spin some dough for you.
Speaking of dough. I hate to make my own dough, it's time consuming. It's all about the yeast, if the yeast don't rise, you're screwed! You sit there, and wait and wait just for a rise. Then, finally, it rose! By this time, I have no interest in making a pizza, I will throw the sauce and cheese on it and call it a night! I have a tip, go to your local pizzeria, buy a dough round for a couple bucks and save yourself some time. Plus it rolls out so nicely, just a little flour and a good rolling pin, you are all set. Once that beautiful circle of dough is formed and you refill your wine glass, you are on your way to one awesome pizza. I buy my dough at I Love NY Pizza on Route 50 in Bspa, the dough is always perfect!
The best part about making pizza at home, if you have kids, they absolutely love it! One dough round can make 4 personal pizzas. Kids style pizzas you can't go wrong, get some cheese, pepperoni and sauce, then let them go to town making their own pizzas. It's quick, easy and kid friendly. Plus, the Mom of the Year Award will definitely be in your favor. Of course, the clean up isn't as nearly as fun, especially with flour. Buy an extra bottle, that's all I can say. :)
So it happens to be Friday Night...what are your plans....pizza? If you're in the mood to take a trip on the wild side of pizza making, then check out the recipe below! You won't be disappointed! Enjoy.
1- Dough Round
1- Garlic Clove

Preheat oven at 450 degrees, brush some Extra Virgin Olive Oil around the crust to get the dough golden brown. Cook for about 15 minutes.
