So, I finally found an available not-absolutely-terrible mozzarella cheese that'll do fine for pizza, so guess what we had for dinner tonight? I'll give you three guesses.
I used a sourdough pizza dough that was pretty good, but, well, have I mentioned before that our oven is broken? It's gas and the, uh, regulator knobby is broken, so on a ten point scale, our oven only goes as high as two. So, you know, no high temperatures for us. But it's what I've got and it's what I've got to use until we get it replaced... So that's part of my excuse for why the dough doesn't rise as much as it should and why it takes longer than it should to bake...
Anyway. That's neither here nor there, except as an excuse to curse.
When you make homemade pizza, what do you do? Do you make your own tomato sauce, and if so, what's your recipe? Do you use pesto-based or other sauces, and if so, what? Recipes, please?
I ask because decent pizza here doesn't exist. We've got Pizza Hut and Dominos, but man, that stuff is pure garbage, their best pizza on their best day being far worse than the worst pizza I ever had in Canada or the US. Their version of chicken sausage is a chicken hot dog. Seriously. I'm in pain here, folks. Won't you help me? Please? This is a desperate cry for help...
