#7: Pizza My Heart

no, no, not the pizza chain...semi-homemade pizza. the pizza dough was courtesy of trader joe's. i've had the whole wheat and garlic herb doughs, but this was the first time i used the "regular" dough. i was pretty impressed with it - but i probably could have made the crust a little thinner because it bubbled up a lot. i started out roasting some garlic in the oven and caramelizing red onion in a pan while i waited for my pizza dough to rest (20 minutes). The finished pizza had marinara sauce, mozzarella sprinkled cheese, white button mushrooms, sliced turkey sausage, caramelized red onion, and oven roasted garlic. also, before sliding it in the oven, i brushed some olive oil on the crust and sprinkled some dry oregano along the edge. the pizza baked for about 10 minutes and then wah-la! freshly made pizza out of the oven. try it out...it's super easy and delicious. my favorite part was the caramelized onions - enough char to really bring out the onion flavor.
