Wow, it's almost been a whole month since I last updated!! Things have been a little crazy so I haven't been cooking as much.
For Valentine's Day, we made homemade pizza, and I made him some adorable heart shaped cupcakes!!
We'll start with Pizza before doing dessert :]
Your ingredients:
Mix 2.5 cups flower, as much Italian seasoning as you want, salt, and yeast in a bowl.
Make a hole in the middle of your flour bowl, pour in your olive oil, and 1 cup lukewarm water. Mix.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, and let sit for 10.
Flour your rolling pin and roll dough out into your pizza shape.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Spread your sauce over your pre-baked dough.
Add a few slices of provolone cheese.
Add your mozzerlla.
Add your toppings of choice. Pepperoni for Nate, cashews + mushrooms for me.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle oregano, ground black pepper, and more italian seasoning on top, and bake in oven.
Mmm, all done! Super good!!
Serve with a salad or by itself!
