I bought a gynormo jar of green olive salad from the olive lady at Sweetwater. I knew within seconds of exchanging dollars for jar I’d be dolloping this spread all over homemade pizza as soon as possible.
I googled ‘pizza dough recipe’ in the grocery store, knowing I’d be able to find a familiar blog on the first page. Sure enough 101 cookbooks appeared. I confirmed I already had all of the necessary ingredients and moved on to the produce department to buy a boat load of roma tomatoes.
When I got home, I noticed that the 101 Cookbooks recipe required the dough to refrigerate overnight. That was not a part of my plan! I ran to my computer and without a second thought searched Eat Live Run. Surely Jenna wouldn’t have me wait twenty four hours for pizza I wanted now!
I whipped up some FoodFash marinara while the dough was rising.
Then I rolled out the dough, opting for a “rustic” shape requiring little patience and even less skill. I spread the marinara and olive salad over the dough and used some of the oil from the olive salad to coat the exposed dough/future crust.
The crust was PERFECT!! It’s always a gamble whether or not a hearty portion of marinara will create soggy crust, but there was no sog in sight tonight. As far as the rest of the pizza goes, it was exactly what I had imagined earlier in the day at checkout.
Looks yummy…expect I’m not an olive girl:( I try them evry so often and think maybe my taste buds have changed but alas they have not. Your marinara looks delish though!
Thanks! I only liked black olives when I was little and surely my taste buds changed because I haven’t chosen black over green in ages!
