Homemade Pizza Take Two & Three.

We've been busy at the house of Feline the past few days. Max decided to come down with a nasty fever and has been home from daycare for the past two days. Needless to say, taking care of a newborn and a sick 2 year old is less than fun and very tiring. Looks like he is on the upswing though, so fingers crossed he is feeling better tomorrow morning and can get back into his routine.

In the meantime, I have been going a bit nuts with the pizza experiment. I decided to try making my own dough, and I learned a hard lesson about patience. Turns out, if you don't give the dough long enough to rise, it tastes like cardboard.

Attempt #2:

I decided to add a control group to attempt #3 and I upped the ante on toppings (in case my dough failed to "rise" to the occasion). My dough stacked up just fine ( tried a different recipe) against the store bought dough, so I think I have finally mastered the art of pizza making. Woo wee! Now I can really go crazy with the toppings and try some different crusts as well. Is my family lucky or what?
