Pizza for dinner

I love pizza. Last week when I was in india I tasted Domino’s stuffed pizza. The first bite was okay but I did not care for the cheese at all. Sorry, it is no match for what we get in the U.S. Maybe a different type of cheese would have done it.

Sometimes it is the sauce, at other times it may be the crust or the cheese. Crust is quite important for a tasty pizza. The secret to a good crust is a round stone surface. You can find this at any kitchen show or specialty home sale such as Pampered Chef’s. It is the next best thing to a brick oven that is only available at restaurants. The crust cooks evenly and tastes great. Of course, given that the dough is made the right way. For cheese go with fresh brick mozarella cheese. If not even the regular mozarella cheese is good. Sauce? This is as important as the crust. Choose fresh non-tart variety of tomatoes. The rest is not that difficult by which I mean actually making the sauce. Just add some basic Italian spices and you’ll have the best home-made pizza.
