Guys like Pizza

Its a fact. We do. Lately I've been makin' quite a few at home. It's simple, satisfying, and manly.

Here's how I've been makin' them lately.

Warm the oven and pizza stone to 450.

Pour yourself a nice glass of wine - a Shiraz goes well with this, and the cook always deserves a drink.

Roll out a bag of Trader Joes Pizza Dough (I like the garlic and herb, but if you are trying to be healthy go for the whole wheat.)

Use a few spoonfuls of Newman's Own Sockarooni Pasta Sauce.

Toss on some shredded mozzarella cheese.

Rough chop some red onion and green pepper.

Pepperoni. Guys love pepperoni!

Here's the deal - roll out the dough with lots of flour on a cutting board. Place it on the stone and stick it in the oven until it starts to get a little crisp around the edges. While that's happening, chop your toppings. Once you get a little crisp, pull that baby out, put some olice oil around the outside crust, and then toss your toppings on - (cheese first, pepperoni- cover the pie in pepperoni it always shrinks up and you don't want and roni free bites, peppers then onions- guys like to see their toppings on top of the cheese - never hide the pepperoni!). Stick that bad boy back in the oven until the cheese bubbles and the rest of the stuff starts to get a bit crispy.

Pull her out- let her rest, then cut her up.

Eat it and enjoy-
T
