Pizza #3

This is a no-big-deal pizza meant to be made quickly, but is still good.
Pizza from frozen dough.

This could be dough made from scratch and frozen, or dough purchased at Trader Joe's for a dollar a pizza. They have regular, whole wheat, and cornbread; they're all really good.

This is the pizza you make when you just want a normal night--a quick meal without big deal.

Ingredients:
Pre-made pizza crust dough
Sauce or fresh tomatoes
Onion
Whatever pizza toppings you have: mushrooms, bell peppers (red orange yellow combo is nice), basil or oregano, etc. Check "pizza topping" post for ideas, too.
Cheese, if you want

I usually saute the vegetables first but if you're in a rush, you can just put them on the pizza.

Spread out the dough on an oiled cast-iron skillet (or baking sheet, or pizza stone)
Add toppings.
Bake according to dough instructions- usually around 10-15 minutes.

Cut with a large knife applied like a guillotine with slow rocking pressure.

Cool and eat.


Notes: Non pizza type food might still work, like potatoes, canned corn, or butternut squash--If i have something like that, I usually surf the web to see how they are used by others. (For example, potatoes are usually used on non-sauce pizzas, corn is used with cheese, and butternut squash paired with sage and goat cheese.) If anyone makes a good one with no fresh ingredients, let me know, and we can post a "don't have to go to the grocery store" pizza.

Presidential Mission Statement

As President, I would provide the citizens of the USA with an approach and a model for everyday eating that will allow our country's national cuisine to evolve beyond junk food, take-out and pre-packaged food without going too far and becoming heartlessly, standoffishly gourmet.

Since I'm not currently president, I've compiled my favorite recipes on this site so I can access them remotely and keep track of them over the years.
