I freely admit to being a Food Network addict. It's not a bad addiction, as addictions go...it's just a time suck. On New Year's Day, I ended up watching the "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" marathon that was on there. Bobby Flay has a tendency to get on my nerves but he does make some tasty food. The marathon included shows about things such as doughnuts, pizza and Philly cheesesteaks and during every show I was like, "Oooo, I want that, ooo, I want that." The pizza show was the worst one for that. It had six different pizzas on it. I wanted them all so I decided I would make one this week. That one actually became two pizzas that I made, from scratch...dough and all. Keep in mind, I live alone so this was about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of cooking...for myself. I still can't decide which one I like better either. They were both too tasty. I made the Lemon pizza (sounds much weirder than it is, really) and the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato and Goat cheese pizza with Red Chili Oil. Oh yeah, I made the sauce for that one too, and let me tell you, I love my handheld stick blender for making sauces. So much easier than pouring bubbling hot tomato sauce in a blender.
For the crust, I used a recipe in a cookbook I have but if you make them, I think you could use any recipe you like. I really recommend either one of them. Now I just need to try the other four from the show sometime.
Really, though, is it bad to make two pizzas just for yourself? I promise I didn't sit down and eat both of them that night, I still have two pieces of the Lemon and one of the other left.
