meatless monday: more pizza

I make pizza from scratch fairly regularly, and though a while back I felt I had absolutely nailed pizza dough, lately my crusts just haven't been doing it for me.

So tonight we got serious, and broke out the Peter Reinhart (in this book, which Jack gave me for our anniversary a couple of years ago; or, in an abbreviated version, here).



Clearly, we need to practice tossing our crusts, but even in funny shapes, this was a delicious dough. We topped it with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh sliced tomato, bufalo mozzerella, parmesan, and goat cheese. With spinach salad and zinfandel, this was the best pizza we've had in quite a while.

Interesting recipe... Ice water and yeast instead of warm water... I will have to try it sometime. My favorite is the Williams Sonoma recipe although I have had good success lately with the recipes from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes.
