yummy pizza crust
I’m posting this here primarily because I always put the recipe card somewhere stupid and this will be my backup. Secondarily because it really is a yummy pizza crust recipe you may want to try.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- season to taste (I like oregano and basil)
Stir the water, sugar and yeast until dissolved. Add olive oil and salt. Stir in flour until well blended. Knead the crap out of it to make it nicely mixed. Cut in half. Lightly flour the outside of each dough ball and let sit 10 mins. Preheat oven as hot as it will go (like 500-600 fahrenheit is great). Pat half into pan and spread out pizza style. Brush crust with melted butter mixed with salt and garlic powder. Top with all the stuffs you want on the pizza. Bake at 500 for 6 mins or so.
Your mileage may vary on baking. My new oven doesn’t get hot enough so I pre-cook the crust like 5 minutes then top and then cook for 6 more or so.

Somehow I just can’t see Sloth wearing and apron and baking. But I can definitely see him in a chef’s hat. Cooking is most definitely the woman’s domain.

I don’t bake pastries or other sissy things like that. But pizza is definitely man-food. Lasagna, things with bacon, that sort of thing are my domain.

Um. Except I don’t think you’ve ever made lasagna in almost 4 years of marriage and a good 1.5 of living in sin prior to that. Lasagna is definitely chick food.
Now bacon. Bacon is so amazing it transcends gender. I just choose to use my bacon differently.. wrapped around asparagus, on a sammich with lettuce and tomato, in salad, etc.

I make lasagna like once every six months. I’ve made it with zucchini, noodles, in a box, with a fox.
And don’t listen to women about bacon. They don’t understand it. I understand bacon. I make hotdogs that I stuff with cheese and wrap in bacon.
mmmm. bacon.
