Pizza

Nothing beats homemade pizza. We like our crust thin and a bit crispy. Here are a few tips about making pizza crust:

• Mix wet ingredients together first, then gradually add dry.
• The less flour the more it will rise (but make sure there is enough).
  
• Allow a couple hours to let the dough rise quite a bit.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on the pan or stone to ensure that it won't stick.
• If you are having difficulty rolling out the dough, walk away from it for a bit. It will roll out better.
• Cook your rolled out dough for about 5 min before putting sauce, and toppings on.
