7 steps! It is that simple to get a soft dough, bubbly boccocini cheese and the flavorful pesto! Oh and did I mention that bubbly cheese? All melting and it will make a string of cheese from the pizza to your mouth!
Gosh, I got myself convinced! I will do some more tomorrow! Too good to be ignored!
Also, I made mini pizza because it is easier for the kids, each their own. But you can make 2 big ones with that recipe. Or still make small ones as an appetizer. Yes, I will do that tomorrow.
Let me break it down for you:
- Prepare the flour, yeast and some water
- Let it rest
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix
- Let it rest
- Roll it down
- Add the toppings
- Bake
How much easier can I make it for you? And… and please note t hat steps 2 and 4 are extremely easy! 🙂
On another topic, I already asked you if I could put a candle on a quiche and now I am wondering if I could put one on my pizza? Today is actually marking my 8 years in Canada!
Already! Eight years ago, I arrived with my 2 suitcases and I just wanted to discover Toronto and experience the North American life for a year. A year?! I did not think it through back then. What about the part where I meet El Cubano almost right away and marriage and a condo and a baby and a house and another baby… And now 8 years! What an adventure!
So let’s blow those candles and enjoy those pizzas A-S-A-P.
