Well hello there everyone! Long time no see.
Want to know the real reason I didn’t have anything to post about this weekend?
Somehow Andrew talked me into this and we ended up watching the ENTIRE first season. And we will most likely watch the second season throughout this week so that we can get on board with the third season that premiered yesterday. This show is gruesome. You’ll catch me cowering behind a blanket during all the gross zombie parts, which is like the whole time.
Anyway, due to my lack of productivity this weekend, I unfortunately don’t have any real recipe for you guys today. But fear not! I still have something to share.
PIZZA! I swear I don’t eat pizza as much as it may seem, but I do love it and find nothing wrong with eating it on occasion. Carbs are not the enemy, my friends. (Although, if you have legitimate health reasons for not consuming wheat/gluten then you will want to consider a gluten-free option for the crust).
Here is my suggested combination for the best pizza ever
- Crust
- Basil Pesto
- Fresh shredded or sliced mozzarella
- Large tomato, sliced thin
Spread a thin layer of the pesto over the dough, sprinkle or layer with mozzarella cheese and then top with thin slices of tomato. You really want the tomato sliced thin because you’ll only bake the pizza at for 15-20 minutes (at 425*) and they need to roast so they become sweet and juicy.
I usually buy raw dough from the bakery at Publix and roll it out myself. Although sometimes when I’m feeling particularly fancy, I use this recipe to make homemade whole wheat pizza dough. And instead of mixing flours like the recipe suggests, I just use all whole wheat flour and it turns out just fine.
What’s on your favorite pizza?
