Well, I can mark "fear of cancer" off of my Phobia List!

The thesis of one of the first essays I use to teach the kids how to write a Shaffer Essay is: "Pizza is the Perfect Food."

Who knew?

My serious home made pizza recipe:

Make a patch of bread-maker dough the day before (buy a machine for $39.) Put it in the fridge to rest overnight (oil the bowl, cover with Saran Wrap.)

Next day. Put pizza stone in oven (if you aren't willing to buy this, you deserve a lifetime of bad pizza). Preheat oven to HIGHEST (not broil) setting. 500-550F.

Make sauce. Take a large (28 oz) can of stewed tomatoes, and simmer until it is tomato paste (break up the pieces and smash them in the pot) You can add you seasonings, especially oregano. Prepare meat, veg. Slice onions and peppers thinly. Grate cheese.

Stretch out dough on a a wood peel (paddle) that has beet generously dusted with cornmeal. The grains should act like ball bearings that allow the dough to slide as you shuffle the paddle.

Make pizza. State with sauce to edges, then meat (pre-cooked), then cheese, then veg. (If you are not too heavy with cheese, it can go last, or half under veg, half over.) Drizzle with a little olive oil (important, this makes cheese brown and sizzle.

Shake to make sure it isn't stuck to peel. (Apply corn meal to trouble spots)

Slide onto stone in over. Check at 8 minutes, finished about 10 minutes. The crust will get nice and brown on the edges, and the bottom will be crisp. Check if one edge is getting browner, and rotate 180 degrees if so.

Place on cutting board, and cut the first "round" of slices. remove the hot stone from oven, place on stove top. Put uncut remainder on stone to stay crisp or get crisper (unless the bottom is as brown as you like it.) After finishing the fist round, slide remainder onto cutting board and slice up.

Simple!
