It has long been on my mind to write a post on pizza ever since I heard that a large Pizza pie could cost around $33 on the city depending upon toppings, etc. I was amazed! How could that be? Well, we all know of the huge price increases in flour, trucking costs, etc. and so of course it would have to filter down into a pizza store trying to make a living in making this delicious food, and therefore increased costs.
However, did you know that to make a pizza at home is so cost effective (not to mention fun) and so easy too?
Yes, you can buy the pizza dough but have you ever had difficulty in rolling it out? The secret I found was to make your own (of course), and to add some olive oil. It basically helps the process. The recipe I like to use belongs to Ann Burell from the Food Network. Yes, it includes the olive oil (truly a magic ingredient) and it then allows you to roll the dough thinly if that is the way you like it.
Toppings are of course of your choice but the end result will be so satisfying (body and mind), and please know so far less expensive than store bought! A great way to spend some time with your children and/or family! Cheers!
Westchester is great!
