Stuffed Pizza; Some say Chicago style.


Roll out your dough as thin as you can, about 1/8th inch. Put in a layer of cheeze and you ingredients followed by a layer of cheeze.
Roll out another dough and put it over the top. Roll the circle of dough around the edge. Poke holes in the second layer to vent the bottom layer while cooking.
Then put a layer of sause, cheeze, and more toppings on the second layer. Put in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes.


Here is one of the pizzas just out of the oven. This needs to sit about 10 minutes prior to cutting open to serve. This could use a good salad to join it, but tonight it was just pizza.








Here are the two pies for dinner. The kids are doing the larger one. Mom & dad, the smaller one with a lot more veggies. This takes about 45 minutes to bake at 375 degrees.








Here is a view of the pies cut in two. This is a great dish for a meal. Check out the site www.foodwishes.com for a video on how to make it.

Saturday's Bread

Here is the bread from Saturday. I let the mix rise overnight. It had about and hour's proof and then was slashed and went into the oven.
