Pizza


As mentioned I recently moved to a new home. This home has a gas stove and oven, which I quite like for a number of reasons. Sadly, the oven doesn't have ANY markings on the dial except for where the OFF position is, so it'll take a little while to figure that one out. However, in this regard pizza is fairly forgiving, so in it went.

Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough (I like the ones from Trader Joes)
- semolina
- 4 roma tomatoes
- 4 oz mushrooms
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- fresh basil
- mozzarella


The dough was rolled out with the aid of semolina rather than ordinary flour - I think this was particularly helpful getting the crust very nice. The tomatoes and mushrooms were sliced, the bell pepper and basil cut in strips - on top was added grated mozzarella. The pizza went in the oven on max heat, but after about 5 minutes we decided to turn it down a bit. Turned out really well.
