This baquette had to be may favorite. Dough was pulled out of the fridge the next day.
I’ve sort of been messing with homemade pizza dough and bread here and there for some time now. When skimming through some books at the soon to be defunct Border’s (sad face) I read something that stated no matter how homemade bread turns out (over cooked, under cooked, extra puffed or not puffed much at all) that it always taste good. I have to agree with that statement and it’s a good way to not feel the pressure when diving in to making your own bread at home.

Actually, it’s been a while since we’ve had homemade pizza around here. I can’t go too long without pizza in my life so on our way home from church we stopped by Cugino’s Italian Deli and picked up some cheeses and root beer. I just wanted something somewhat quick so I went with a previous recipe for quick pizza dough. I did our usual simple toppings, homemade mozzarella and fresh basil, delightful.

Pizza again? Of course, and getting better every time. Most pizza doughs require you to start making your dough and hour to and hour and a half before you can even start cooking it. Wank, I’m hungry NOW. A friend sent me some recipes awhile back and I decided to dig this one up for fast pizza dough. 10 minutes for yeast to rise and 10 minutes of kneading, that’s just enough time for the oven to warm up, perfect! I typically fall into the lazy man category so I’ve always went with the “let it rise for an hour while you do nothing” theory. This time I was tired of the girls being ravenous monsters by eat time and wanted to avoid all lashings from them. The pic above is of the first pizza out of the oven which I kinda burnt. The second was way better but this one was still amazing. We all ate every piece of both pizzas. I wish I had taken a pic of the crust underneath because it was gorgeous. When the pizza is done it’s great and recommended to drizzle a little more olive oil over the whole thing and grate a little fresh Parmesan cheese. I will be making this many more times in the future when I want great homemade healthy pizza from scratch, and FAST.
