Pizza!

Uel and I made our first attempt into pizza making.  We got a pizza stone about a month ago and it was time to give it a shot.  We used the Alton Brown method.  Recipe Here.  With some adaptations of course.  We didn't actually do the dough the way it says in the recipe.  Pizza part 2 (when I write it) will compare the dough making methods.  We made ours Friday morning and left it sitting out on the counter (and room temperature at our place is a bit chill) for a few hours.  So, once we make it the way it is in the recipe, I'll post about which is better.  Another change we made was they types of cheeses used.  We used some Mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan.  We also made a couple (we made 4 personal sized pizza) with the 3 cheeses, peppers, roasted garlic and artichoke.

Roasting Garlic:
Here is what Uel did:  He took our popover pan (easier to find in my house than a muffin tin, which will also work) and put water in all the cups but the ones you are roasting (put some oil in that one).  Cut the top off of the bulb (Not the root end) and put it in the oil cup.  Then roast for about 20 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees.

The only other tip I can think of is to make sure you flour your peel in between pizzas, it is much easier to get the pizza into the oven this way.

Happy pizza!
