New Year's Day is normally a low key affair. Like most people, I do my celebrating on New Year’s Eve. So New Year’s Day becomes sit-on-the-couch-and-do-nothing day. This year, though, Nev (the boyfriend) and I decided to invite the family over because besides my sister, none of my family has seen our new place. I guess you could say it was more like a belated house warming party! Deciding what to make was a no brainer-it HAD to be pizza. Why? Well, my family loves my pizza and they request it any chance they get. (No seriously. Every time I visit my mom’s house, I hear “When are you making pizza?” or “Shakira, you need to make some of that pizza”). So yeah, pizza it is!

About 8 years ago, I used to go to a pizzeria called Ba-Da-Bings. It was the best pizza I have ever had-nothing like the chain takeout stuff. The dough wasn't too thick or to thin and the sauce tasted homemade. It is also the only place I know of that has spinach as a topping choice. I was hesitant at first to try it. Spinach on pizza? Please do yourself a favor and try it. The spinach takes on this nutty flavor when you bake it. It has become my favorite topping. Sadly, Ba-Da-Bing closed about a year after I discovered it. I had to have that pizza, but there was nothing comparable in my area. Thus, my journey into making pizza began.
After numerous attempts, I have finally found the perfect pizza dough recipe. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself. This recipe makes enough dough for two 15 inch pizzas. |
