of course a greek goddess is’nt a goddess without a royal serpent, and since I couldn’t find my snake, I had to draw one:

Personal Pan Pizza Project!

Saturday night my family and I decided to make our own pizza:
Tip: We used dough for bread instead of pizza crust and got a much fluffier outcome!

  1. Just like with pizza crust you have to stretch, pull, flatten roll and pound the dough.

Tip: Heating a pizza stone in the the oven prior to stretching dough, and brushing olive oil on dough before adding the goods will give your it a little pop!

2. Apply the goods!
On My pizza I added Ham, mozzarella cheese, pineapple, basil and Tomato sauce:
