Homemade pizza is so good it is not fair. Once you go homemade you cant go back.
The other day I made some pizzas for the girls at Michele’s. I used Chez Panisse’s recipe for the pizza dough, out of the Art of Simple Food (the best cookbook ever made).
You can get really fancy with things like prosciutto, figs, arugula, but then there are some times when you just want a loaded cheesey pizza. Even when you are going for the more traditional you can still highlight them by using things artisan pepperoni (yes they make it and it is so good I accidentally ate a whole bag on the way home once and had to say I forgot it) really good goat cheese and local organic vegetables! 🙂
Here are some things to use:
Roasted Peppers
Grilled Onions
Olives
Goat Chesse
Mozzarella
Parmesan
Basil
Pepperoni
Soy Chorizo
Pepper Jack
Tomato Sauce:
3 large heirloom tomatoes diced or One Large Can Organic Tomatoes
3 cloves garlic chopped finely
1 shallot chopped finely
1/4 cup red wine
Olive Oil
Handful of Basil Leaves
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Sautee Shallots and Garlic in Olive Oil until shallots are soft and translucent
Add Tomatoes and Wine
Let Simmer For 30 Minutes
Remove from Heat and let Cool
Place in Blender with Basil
Season with Salt and Pepper

Imagine being in the same room with anne-marie, smelling those pizza smells, working directly in front of her, staring at the pizza making process and not go crazy with hunger pains. I went through intense torture, and these pizzas were sooooo worth it.
