another happy discovery
Sep. 23rd, 2006 08:46 pmSo I've been meaning to try making pizza dough in my bread machine, and I wanted to try to grill it. Tonight seemed like a good night for both experiments. Plus, I didn't want to do my laundry.
I tossed a few ingredients into the bread machine, it took about an hour to make, I split it into two balls and put one away for later, and hand tossed the other into a basic pizza-shape. I brushed on some olive oil, slid it onto a hot grill and... voila! I cautiously cut a slice of it (sans topping) and it was surprisingly good. I could have probably rolled it out thinner, because I do love thin crust pizza, but it was really pretty damn good for my first try!
Combined with some chicken that I salt/pepper'd and tossed onto the grill and my fresh pesto, this was a pretty fucking spectacular meal. And I have another ball of pizza dough for tomorrow!
