Aw, yeah, I know how to make a damn fine pizza.



I am finding that good pizza takes a lot of practice. I keep trying different recipes--but the most successful one I've found for thin crust, like the one up there, is snagged from the back of one of those bullshit cozy mystery books I periodically shelve.* I did hit a bit of a snag when the recipe suggested that I use my portable brick pizza oven for best results. Uh, yeah. Look, I'm surprised I have a pizza stone.** But even with the recipes, it takes a lot of work.***

On the plus side, if my appetite for pizza continues, all this kneading is going to give me some serious Popeye forearms. Who'd have thought pizza could make you a badass? The Ninja Turtles were right all along.


*But didn't actually read, because cozy mysteries are Not My Thing.

**Also I have this, thanks to my brother. That's all I really need.

***Getting the darn thing from the paddle onto the stone, for example. Which is why I had the fight with the oven.

Pizza dô? The Way of Pizza?

Ha, no. Habit from a Bakery I worked at for years. They always spelled "dough" that way, and, as with many other idiosyncratic spellings, it stuck with me.

I do like the idea of a secret order of monks dedicated to the art of pizza, tho.

The art of pizza would be Pizza no Jutsu, which works too.

Yeah, either way is good. It's still a very general concept at this point ;)
