    7 steps!  It is that simple to get a soft dough, bubbly bocconcini cheese and 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:

    1. Prepare the flour, yeast and some water
    2. Let it rest
    3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix
    4. Let it rest
    5. Roll it down
    6. Add the toppings
    7. 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 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.
