friday nights are our pizza nights. it is so good. thanks to my lovely friend liz, i am learning how to make cheese. today i made my first successful batch of ricotta. it went perfectly on our pizza. wish i had better photos...i am still learning the basics of photo taking...
here is the recipe for a really simple and delicious crust (from fine cooking magazine...thanks mom!)
*1 3/4 C lukewarm water
*1 Tbsp olive oil
*2 tsp salt
*1 1/2 tsp dry yeast
*1 1/2 tsp sugar (or honey)
*4 1/2 C flour (we usually use spelt or whole wheat)
mix all ingredients in large bowl. cover loosely with plastic wrap. let rise for 2 hours at room temperature, then move to refrigerator. use within the day, or transfer to sealed container for a week, or freeze.
I've tried posting on here several times and each time I can't seem to get the letters right to log in. But I've reading your entries and I love hearing about your life there. The pizza looks so yummy. Great tradition pizza on Fridays. =)

I'm coming to dinner at your place tonight...seriously. I'm on my way. In 6 hours I'll be knocking on your door, but don't worry...I bet that stuff's good cold. Also, you make your own cheese!? Stop it. That's too cool! I need to learn about this.
