\"pizza<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are a regular here, you might know that last Sunday I bought a breadmachine. Since then I’ve made two blueberry loaves (one a miserable failure<\/a>), one loaf of white bread and one loaf of wheat.<\/p>\n

This morning I made pizza dough, using a recipe from the Organizing Junkie<\/a>. Once the dough was ready, I invited the rest of my family into the kitchen for fun: The kids took turns rolling the dough into the pan, and then they each got to “paint” the dough with olive oil.<\/p>\n

While the dough rested for 15 minutes, I set out the pizza toppings, along with a few carrots and grapes for snacking. (We always snack on the pepperoni and cheese. I thought adding a few healthier options might be a good idea…. This way I didn’t have to try to convince them to put more veggies on their pizza. They could keep it meat-lovers and snack on the fruit and veggies.)<\/p>\n

Soon everyone was preparing his or her spot on the big pizza. (We’ve made individual pizzas in the past. Today I opted for just one big one.) Then into the oven our family creation went.<\/p>\n

We spent the 30 minutes bake time watching Olympic synchronized swimming. That was my first time ever to see it and WOW! I was amazed. How do those women do all that, in unison and hold their breath? Amazing!<\/p>\n

But I digress…<\/p>\n

The pizza was also pretty amazing. When we’ve made pizza in the past I either bought refrigerated dough or already-made crusts. This crust was so much better. I think I’ll try to add some herbs to it next time, or maybe we’ll try the Organizing Junkie’s recipe for beer bread, and maybe I’ll make my own tomato sauce. But wait, maybe I should plant a garden and grow my own tomatoes for that. Uh oh. Who have I become?<\/p>\n

And on that note, there will be more about the braided loaf of bread that is rising on my counter later.<\/p>\n
