If you have read any of my blog entries, you might already know that I am lacking in the dough making department. It's not from lack of trying....just lack of succeeding. I had a planned to make "Grandma Pizza" in my latest edition of Cook's Country. It looked easy enough. And I also thought, it would be nice for the vegetarians that happen to read this. Well, it was not quite so easy. You need hours to make this. And that's almost all concentrated on the dough. I realized that my first dough was a little...how should I say...runny? And had to start over. Using less water/oil mixture and VERY SLOWLY adding that mixture to the flour. Well, it looked better, but was a little lumpy looking and wasn't rising like I thought it would. It was almost 8 o'clock and I had runny and lumpy dough...I decided to use my phone-a-friend lifeline. That friend being Upper Crust Pizza. They delivered in 30 minutes.
I tossed the runny dough and wondered about the lumpy dough. I thought I would just give it whirl. Throw it in the oven and just see what happened. Well, hello lumpy dough turned pizza spectacular! We all tried a piece and loved it!! I think I am giving this another go this week and might do two pizzas, one as written and one with pepperoni. We are carnivores, what can I say?
