Homemade Pizza




For Christmas one year I asked for a pizza stone.  I got a pizza stone, pizza peel, and pizza cutter!  We finally broke out the pizza tools and made a homemade pizza and it was so good!  I bought two dough balls at Food Lion.  They had herb and plain for only $2.50.  I actually got 2 pizzas out of each ball of dough.  

Use a paper towel and rub olive oil onto your pizza stone and place on the center rack of the oven.
Heat your oven to 475 degrees with the pizza stone in the oven.
Let the dough sit out at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.  You can prepare your toppings at this time, like cutting up the veggies.
I covered my counter in parchment paper then sprinkled it with flour.
Then I put the dough ball on the parchment and sprinkled it with a bit of flour.
I also floured the rolling pin.
The dough is so sticky!
I rolled my dough out into a round shape, but it did snap back on one side.
Put the dough on a floured pizza peel and shimmy it onto the pizza stone in the oven.
Let it crisp in the oven for 10 minutes.
Shimmy it back onto the pizza peel and top it while it sits on the peel.
We did pizza sauce, provolone slices, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, green pepper, and onion.
Use a brush to put some olive oil around the edge of the crust.  
Place pizza back on the pizza stone and bake until golden.  
Use the peel to remove the pizza from the stone.  Do not try to remove the pizza stone.  I burned myself once doing that.  
Add any fresh toppings after baking.  Arugula, basil, etc.

Raku

Last night our friends had reservations for Raku and invited us along. We went to the Bethesda location but there is also a location near Dupont Circle and in Arlington. http://www.rakuasiandining.com/ They only had chopsticks at the table and I'm terrible at using them Luckily everyone else at the table was great at using chopsticks. When our friends were served the tofu salad (this looked good and you must love seaweed) they brought them forks but they used chopsticks and I scored a fork :) Our friends also ordered some spring rolls but the spring rolls on the menu seemed to come with shrimp which I dont eat. The dipping sauces that came with their rolls looked really good. The presentation of the dish was really nice They split an entree which was a bento box with beef tenderloin with pomegranate wine sauce (they said the sauce was divine) and an assortment of fish, tempura veggies, some mushrooms etc. It was a huge box of food My husband and I ordered 8 tempura green bean s...
