You know the feeling when all of a sudden the urge hits for pizza?! You speed dial your fav place and they are closed! If you can make your own awesome, if you can’t, don’t panic
I will make pizza from scratch like my daughter and son-n-law some day. Well maybe not as good as theirs (they know pizza!) but I will try.
For now my pizza plan consists of having a few key ingredients on hand so I don’t encounter pizza panic.
Pizza base ideas, a lot of these can be in your freezer
English muffins
Bagels
Baguettes
Sliced zucchini
Prepared dough ball
Pre-cooked pizza shell
Sauce ideas
Traditional red
White Alfredo
Basil pesto
Jelly (think dessert pizza)
Toppings-traditional is always good. Pepperoni and sauce lasts forever. Mozzarella cheese can even be frozen. Many canned (olives, artichokes…)or frozen items (mini meatballs, veggies…) taste great on pizza.
Sometimes think a little different…what’s your fav food? Try it on pizza….
Another idea with a little planning-think type of cuisine to really mix it up, even dessert!
Greek
Herb olive oil, feta cheese, olives, banana peppers
Polish
Zapiekanki, a polish street food with a surprising topping. Baguette with mushrooms, onions and mozzarella cheese, topped with ketchup!
German
Dessert in the style of Apple Kuchen
Apple sauce, chopped apples, butter/cinnamon/sugar topping
Bye…time for some pizza!
