My dear hubby recently had surgery after fracturing his right humerus. How did this happen you may wonder? He was putting together a basketball goal for one of our grandsons, we heard a snap and he fell to the ground in pain. After being on chemo for over 25 straight months and also being on prednisone, off and on the past years, his bones have weakened, and caused the bone to fracture as he was tightening the pole.
What is his favorite food in the whole world??!! Pizza, he would tell you! I have been making pizza since we've been married. I have tried so many dough recipes, and I have never met a dough I didn't like!! However, the one I have been using consistently is this
pizza crust from King Arthur Flour. Making pizza is good for all the senses. This pizza sure put a smile on my hubby's face!!
Make a sweetheart pizza for someone you love! xo
Here are my tips:
 |
Sprinkle parchment paper with cornmeal.
|
 |
After dough rises, place on parchment.
Cover with a bowl and let rise again for 15 minutes.
|
 |
Sprinkle the dough with some olive oil and shape the dough. Cover with plastic wrap
and let the dough rise according to directions.
|
 |
Spread the dough with sauce, cheese and toppings. Cut around the parchment paper and
use a non-rimmed baking sheet as a pizza peel.
|
Slide the pizza onto a baking stone that has been pre-heating in a 450 degree oven. A hot pizza stone makes for a crisp crust on the outside and tender on the inside. We love to sprinkle the pizza with Parmesan cheese and dried oregano when it comes out of the oven.
Make someone happy by making some homemade pizza!

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your husband. Hope he is doing well.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband! I feel for him ~ When I had my home, I had 3 dogs. The house had just been cleaned from top to bottom...I went out to dinner and when I returned, I was just taking it easy. It was about 10 p.m. and I went into the kitchen for a glass of water. I had on socks and one of the dogs walked in front of me so when I went from the carpet to the waxed floor, I started to fall. I kept trying to grab onto the counter, thinking I could get my balance. Nope! I went down on that hard floor, knocked myself out and when I came too, I couldn't move my right arm. Finally got myself up by rolling on my left side to the cabinets so I'd have something to hold. Bottom line, friend took me to the ER and I had broken the right humerous and my shoulder in 2 places. Was just horrible!
ReplyDeleteSorry I rambled...
The pizza looks & sounds divine! I know he appreciated it. Hope he feels better soon!
