Friday is the perfect pizza day. By the end of the week I'm ready for an easy to put together dinner, and any leftovers are great snacks for the weekend. It is also the way to use up bits of meats and vegetables left over from the week's menus. I had several roasted poblano peppers from earlier in the week that I hadn't stuffed and odds and ends of mozzarella and parmesan cheese, plus half a red onion, chopped mushrooms, and a little tomato sauce.
I made my favorite pizza dough, prebaked it in a 475 degree oven for about 5 minute, and then added my favorite pizza sauce and toppings and baked the pie an additional 10-12 minutes. The prebaking ensures a nice crispy crust. This was a great combination of flavors and I liked the little kick from the poblanos.
Sometimes it's difficult to get away from my booth at the farmers market
so I'll tuck a slice or two into my backpack tomorrow for a tasty lunch.

Today is Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum.
I hope you will stop for a visit.
Cathy, I think that's the most delicious photo of a pizza I've ever seen. I'm all for easy on Friday too.

This honestly leaves me weak from hunger. I just want to reach in for a piece. And I'll bet it will be delicious at tomorrow's market straight from your backpack.

GULP!!! I'm hungry!! Guess what!!! My Mom and I are coming to Portland!! We are both major foodies, as you must surely know by now. And we have a niece that lives very near there. So...we are thinking maybe March or April, for the spring veggies at the market. Does the market run just on Saturday? I can't wait to see your fair city, eat at all the good places, and meet you as well!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks SO good! I have such a wimpy family- they don't do heat well, so I have to spice up my own. This is gorgeous!

My goodness, that looks delicious, Cathy! What a picture-perfect-pizza. Say that 3 times fast!
ReplyDeleteDo you know, I have never made a homemade pizza....is it too late to try? Perhaps if I bought ready made dough from the market. I never seem to think of making it until it's too late to start from scratch.
ReplyDeleteMy boys would love this pizza, and so would I, look at all those cheese melting on the top! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat is one great-looking pizza, Cathy. It's a stormy Saturday here - perfect pizza-making weather. You have me hungry for it. Perfect crust - wow!
ReplyDeleteI would have to leave off the peppers, but I am in for the rest of it! Great pic!
ReplyDeleteThat is one good looking pizza. Where was I and why didn't I drop by this day? Crud!
ReplyDeleteYou take amazing pictures, Mom!
What a lovely and original pie, Cathy. I know I'd enjoy a slice of this. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

ReplyDeleteI bought some chiles at the Farmers Market a few weeks ago - I wish I'd thought to have them on pizza! I did eat them every other which way, though ;)
