Hi guys! Yesterday Scott and I totally lazed around and it was glorious! We were both just tired and wanted nothing more than to chill because we had been going and going for a few days. We busted out a game, Army of Two, and played for a bit. While playing there was a snack!
Dried apricots, two prunes, and a few pistachio chips. I had the two prunes, 3 apricots, and a few crisps. I totally should not have even had this snack. I was a bit munchy and didn’t want to eat supper early so I thought a snack would be good. But it made me feel a little bloated and yucky. I hate that bloaty feeling! My hunger didn’t come around until after 8pm. Some snack, eh?
Regulars know that Thursdays mean Pizza(!!) here at the HQ. I thought about ordering pizza out but didn’t feel like spending the money or gas to drive and pick it up. I really wanted to make a pizza but I didn’t want to do all the prep work and we also had no dough. I’m a little gun shy on making my own dough because the last few times it didn’t work out. I was going to make something else entirely for dinner even though it wasn’t what I really wanted.
But then on Twitter, so many people were talking about pizza that I sucked it up and tried a new dough recipe. Once I saw that the dough was indeed rising and not being a dinkus, I prepped all the ingredients. Then I cleaned up the kitchen all while the dough was growing up.
The most amazing pizza was born! The dough was perfect and I can’t wait to try it again next week so I can officially talk about it. It was a combo of WW flour and all-purpose flour. It was light and fluffy and chewy with a crunchy bottom. Glorious! My side is on the left and Scott’s is on the right. Pizza toppings:
- Shredded moz
- Chopped zucchini
- Chopped artichoke
- Green peppers
- Red onion
- Banana peppers
- Buffalo chicken sausage (Scott’s side only)
My side was lighter on the cheese and topped with garlic chili hot sauce while Scott had regular hot sauce.
Veggielicious!
I started off with two pieces and ended up eating another 1/2 slice. So good!
While watching some TV I sipped on a glass of white.
Then I conked out in bed and called it a day. Love Pizza Thursdays!
I MUST make homemade pizza. Yours always look so amazing!
That looks fantastic! We went with our ritual pizza, frozen Tombstone, but now you’ve got me energized to try something new for next week.
Ain’t pizza grand?
good for you for making the homemade stuff! one of these days i will do it too…
Wow, that looks like an amazing pizza! Great job on making the dough–homemade dough is always waayyy better!
