This week was exhausting!! I’m preparing for some big changes (that I can’t wait to tell you about soon) and with big changes come big excitement, but also big stress.
Ordinarily a busy week would call for delivery, but all I wanted to do last night was spend some QT with my kitchen. I rushed home from work and prepared some pizza dough.
While the dough was rising, I headed to the store. And for the first time this year, I bought REAL CHEESE. I couldn’t have been more excited. I also tossed a 6-pack of Bud Heavy in my basket. It was going to be a good night!
I sprayed the dough with olive oil cooking spray and topped with crushed garlic, sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a little bit of salt. I baked the pizza in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes and topped with fresh basil for the last minute or so.
When I removed the pizza from the oven I couldn’t believe I had created such a perfect pizza! It surely puts all my faux cheese pizzas over the past year to shame. I can’t decide if real cheese is making a permanent comeback in my kitchen or if this is a temporary thing – only time will tell!
