Dinner!

So on Monday, it was my turn to cook for dinner-group and I had the brilliant idea on Sunday night to make homemade pizza. I figured that it couldn't be that hard so my roommate Anna and I went to the store and I picked up bacon, pepperonie, cheese, banana peppers, jalepenos, and black and green olives. I got home around four-thirty and looked online for a pizza dough recipe and clicked on the first one hat I found. The original recipe made enough for four serving and there are 11 people in my dinner group -one of whom eats a ton!- so I quadrupled the reciped and got this:

14 cups flour
4 cups warm water
8 tbsp yeast
8 tbsp honey
1 cup olive oil
2 tsp salt

First you mix the warm water and salt and honey in a big -huge!- bowl, then the yeast and olive oil and let it sit for about five minutes. After that, you add four cups of flour and mix. I found it easiest, although probably messiest, to just mix if with my hands. Then mix in the other ten cups of flour. Again, i did it by hand. Cover it and let it rise for about forty-five minutes. And man! It will rise!


Next I just cooked my sausage and bacon and slice up my vegitables.



Then I shredded a whole block of mozarella cheese

By this time, my dough was finished rising and my kitchen was a mess. So I rolled out my dough and put all my toppings on it! It turned out awesome! I was so excited. It was delicious and there was enough for everone (it made one big pizza and two that were a little smaller). It was the first thing that I have actually made! Sure I can do spaghetti and Joseph's dirty pasta, but I don't feel like those require, well, anything. So there you have it! Homemade Pizza! Success!
