Related: About this forumI think this no-knead pizza dough recipe will change our lives.
Mix up flour, salt, yeast and water, cover it, go to bed - next day form into a ball, divide into 3 or 4 pieces - freeze some, use some. It was a bit tricky in forming, but I ended up solving it (needed to add more flour, then let it rest).
Recipe here http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/03/jim-laheys-no-knead-pizza-dough-recipe.html
My raw ingredients (some of them - big picking day in the garden)
Decided to use home made pesto, some sliced tomatoes, sweet peppers, padron peppers, basil, local feta and local ricotta with Parmesan Reggiano and lots of basil and black pepper. Used the eggplants for Baba Ganoush and will peel and slice the fat ones, dip in egg and bread crumbs, bake and freeze for use over the winter.

best home made pizza I've made yet (and so so easy)...now I need to think up the different toppings I want to use with the rest of the dough

(13,255 posts)Best pizza EVER, rolls, small loaves. I try never to be without a couple (or more) of hunks frozen. They thaw quickly and make whatever you throw on them delicious.
certainly makes a bread machine a bit redundant!

And I wish I had the room to grow veggies like you. I was looking at my packed patio the other day, and wanting to add more plants, if I can figure out where to put them!

The RG puts them in a cast iron skillet and cooks them on high heat. They are un-be-liev-a-ble! Just serves them plain, with sea salt.
Your pizza is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Will definitely utilize farmer's market ingredients.
