I made pizza for supper.

How I make pizza. These are photos from my cell phone. “Damn it Jim, I’m a chef not a photographer.”

Start with a good peal (Mine and I wish)

Blind bake the crust for 90 seconds per side at 450 degrees (dock with a fork to prevent bubbles). Spray with olive oil and smear on some roasted garlic. Add slices of mozzarella or grated mozzarella.

Oven dried balsamic tomatoes and basil fresh from the herb garden. Add hot Italian sausage and Andouille sausage.

Finish off with mushrooms and red onion. Bake for about 14 minutes more. Enjoy

Blind baking the crust lets you make thin crust pizza and never have an ingredient slide. I also like to put parchment paper under the pizza just in case there is a tear.

Showoff! You owe me a new keyboard. Mine’s drool damaged, and not because of Mrs. Peel.

Wow that looks so good! no Tomato Paste! (no late night heart burn) To get that baked crisp bottom normally requires heat not available with our normal ovens ... but pre cooking the the crust 1/2 way then broiling that bad boy ...

I need to go check my pantry... night time old man hunger pangs

Needs more Onions ! (I love Onions!) but yours was looking so fine cause I really love fresh (red / yellow /white) onions on top of cooked (two different textures and tastes)

Tomato paste gives me heartburn and Onions for some reason doesn’t (weird as it may seem)

TT
