I walked in to Williams & Sonoma the other day and there was a display of pizza making tools and a cookbook. I suddenly became hungry for pizza and I wanted to make it myself instead of ordering from the usual pizzerias. I already had the pizza stone, and the rotary cutter, but the cookbook was inspirational. Turns out I had all the ingredients needed at home, except for the yeast, so I ran in to the store on my way home to grab some. As soon as I got home I started cooking. The dough was so easy. I just put the flour, olive oil, yeast, and water in to my food processor, zapped it for 20 seconds, let it rise for an hour, divided it and then spread it out on my pizza stone. I smeared some olive oil and garlic salt on the dough and then loaded it up with some left over vegetables that Douglas had grilled the night before, along with some red onions I had sauteed in some olive oil. I had a leftover chicken breast that I cut up, and then lastly, I chopped up a whole log of goat cheese on top and stuck it in the oven. I think it's the best pizza I have ever had!
I will definitely make this again. The dough recipe makes enough for two loaves. You can freeze the extra one for up to a month. I'm pretty sure mine won't make it a month in the freezer though. I'm ready to make another one.
