we've made everything from pizza margherita to caramelized onion & goat cheese and on the sweeter side... apple & fontina with rosemary. just last week we cooked up a mushroom pizza in honor of my new found love of mushrooms. thank you navona notte! (one of our favorite restaurants in rome, which has a mushroom pizza that is out of this world).
because we like to keep this dinner easy & fun, we typically buy the whole foods pizza dough and some sort of tomato sauce (we most recently tried cucina antica and it was perfect - nice and light so it doesn't overpower the toppings you select). here are a couple of items in the kitchen to get you started:
1. rolling pin
2. pizza slice & serve board
3. pizza stone
4. parchment paper
5. pizza cutter
for recipes, check out pizza, calzone & focaccia by maxine clark. we received this book from friends as a wedding gift (along with the slice & serve board) and it inspired us! thanks LP & MC! :)
next time we'll be creating our own version of balena's brussels sprout pizza. it may take a while to get it right, but we'll sure have fun tryin'! and, in the meantime, we'll venture down the street for the real thing. balena (1633 n halsted street, chicago)
