It took me a while (read:years) before mine would come together like I expected it to. <BR/>Was the water warm for the yeast?Kristen Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939868098608820229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246833545354181841.post-55963672738127897412009-03-03T15:05:00.000-08:002009-03-03T15:05:00.000-08:00well, it was a disaster.

I mixed it for 15 minutes and it was still in small pellet form. I had to just throw it out. I think I should step away from baking. This was my first attempt--you made it seem do-able, but apparently it isn't for me.

I didn't take pictures of preparing the pizzas and baking them, because I was making them for my babysitter and kids, so I wasn't there when they were baked- date night for me and my husband!!! <BR/>- After rolling out the dough, I spread the sauce on. Then, whatever isn't covered by sauce, I brush with olive oil. Then I cover with cheese and toppings. I sprinkle dried basil and oregano on top of that, and bake for 10 minutes. <BR/>- My sister uses basil and oregano (dried) to mix in the dough and it really does give it a nice flavor. <BR/>- The yeast packets are found on the baking aisle, usually at the top by the baking powder. Yes, Walmart will have them. <BR/>Let me know how it turns out!!!Kristen Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939868098608820229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246833545354181841.post-38640846554140520272009-02-28T09:47:00.000-08:002009-02-28T09:47:00.000-08:00So, this is probably a silly question, but I have ...So, this is probably a silly question, but I have never made pizza at home before (though your post inspires me). Do you cook the dough for 10 minutes and then you put the toppings on it and bake it additional time? (And for how long?) Or do you put the ingredients on the uncooked dough? Also, do you brush the oil on it before baking? Under the sauce? What herbs does your sister use? Finally, where in the store would I find yeast packets? Would Walmart have them? Sorry for all the questions! I love the blog and have so enjoyed your recipes--love the pix. Thanks for answering my Q about the onions in the baked beans in the next post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
