Valentine’s Pizza

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day and/or Chinese New Year. This year for Valentine’s Day we decided to stay in and save some money. I received a pizza stone for Christmas (thanks Grandma!) but so far hadn’t had a chance to try it out yet – perfect reason to have Valentine’s pizza.

We use the crust recipe from Reinhart’s Break Baker’s Apprentice which calls for refrigerating the dough at least overnight. This makes the dough so unbelievably soft and tender. Here is my pizza on the peel waiting to be put in the oven.

I was sure that I would mess up trying to slide the pizza from the peel to the pizza stone, so I made my husband do it. It seemed to work just fine. Here he is snacking on pizza toppings (even though he is wearing shorts I assure you it still freezing here…he just likes to wear shorts when indoors):

He’s probably kill me if he knew I had put that picture on the internet…but whatever.

Here is my pizza out of the oven, waiting to be devoured. Toppings included pizza sauce, portobello, roasted eggplant, spinach, and cashew ricotta (Veganomicon).

Now that I’ve had pizza stone pizza I think I am spoiled for life! I love the crispiness and chewiness that it imparts. I can’t wait to bake a loaf of bread on the stone!
