pizza, pizza




i've been trying to learn more about flour in my quest to ultimately mill my own flour. last weekend we made pasta and bread. this weekend was pizza with goodies from the our gardens and the csa:
we used whole wheat (maine) flour for the dough and it baked up perfect and tasted very healthy. my standard recipe is: 3 c. flour, 2 tsp. yeast, 2 tsp coarse salt in a food processor, and then pour in 2 tbl. evoo and about a cup of water to bind it all up. i knead it a tad, then let it double in size for 1-2 hours.
we topped it with roasted eggplant, mozzarella, carmelized onions, fresh rosemary, the infamous himalayan salt, and i made a tomato sauce with all the fallen tomatoes from our gardens and cooked that up with garlic, capers and olives - it was sensational!!
