Green and White Pizza
After some thought ...
I decided to post this recipe even though there are probably dozens of versions already posted ... everywhere.
This however, was my first attempt - had never even given thought to assembling a 'white' pizza until my husband suggested it. In fact, many years ago, when I was still living in Vancouver, Washington, I took my kids to a brand new restaurant that specialized in pizza and for something different I ordered a chicken and spinach pie. I was not impressed.
So ... here we go, my take on a tomato-less pizza (although, tomatoes could be added for a tasty option!)
I am putting the recipe for the quick and easy dough we used here:
Ingredients:
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes (or until you are ready to use).
Dough will be sticky!

You lived in Vancouver? Well, anyone who once lived in Washington is alright by me. :) I actually like white pizza, so I'm sure I would like this recipe. Thank you my new friend.

I lived in Washington for over twenty years, and anxious to move back ... maybe Wenatchee.
Bill, I see you've met the Mrs.!
Okay, this white pizza was my idea, I'll admit, but mainly because I wanted to try building pizza crust from scratch. I've done cornbread and biscuits since I was a kid, played with refrigerator rolls and (lately) branched out into artisan breads; but I had a hankerin' to tackle pizza as I'm more than a touch picky about what my pizza toppings sit on.
Making the crust was way easier than I had expected, and I am fairly well satisfied with the finished product.
The rest of the story, however, is all AnniePie's toppings, and that is the crowning glory of this fabulous pizza! I will NEVER order take-out again!!

Next up, Greek pizza ... spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, feta, and yes, olives!
Well...maybe olives on YOUR side of the pie!
