Ok I love love love pizza. I know it can be incredibly unhealthy, but it is delicious. One of the things I miss most about NY is the white pizza sauce. I have been searching far and wide and have found a sauce that I enjoy a lot. I found it at corkandspoon. I usually just make a third of that recipe since it makes three servings and I do not have enough room in my freezer to store any extra sauce.
The next and arguably the most important part about a pizza is the base, which is of course the pizza dough! The best recipe I have found is the 18 hour rising dough recipe. I found it here at i am a food blog. Very delicious and very easy. It is definitely worth those several hours
Now onto the goodies.
On my pizza I love a variety of flavors so I use a lot of delicious things.
Pizza toppings:
1 cup fresh spinach (cook and rinse it, you could just put the fresh stuff on there too, but I prefer it this way)
thinly sliced eggplant (however much you want!)
1 can of quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 cup of feta cheese
2 cup mozzarella cheese
While you are chopping up all these yummies, preheat the oven to 425 F
So after you have your pizza dough and sauce ready to go, it's time to get cooking. The best thing I have ever bought to make pizza is a pizza crisper. I found one at Walmart for $6 and it makes a medium-ish sized pizza. A pizza stone might even be a better choice, but come on, I am a poor college student!
Spread out your pizza dough and for this part I would recommend using some corn meal on the bottom of it so it doesn't stick to whatever you are cooking (probably at most a tablespoon). Then spread out the delicious garlic-y white pizza sauce. Top with the two cheeses as well as the other yummy ingredients. Put in oven at 425 F for 10-12 min until the cheese is nice and melted and the crust looks delicious. Your yummy pizza may look like this :D
