New Years Pizza

I believe a homemade pizza is the perfect way to start a new year, don’t you?

On New Years Day, you could find my daughter and me in our warm kitchen, that’s heated by our wood stove, making our own homemade pizza. The dough was made, to which I added plenty of freshly ground spices and herbs and then it was set aside to rise. Once the dough had risen, the crust was rolled and

plenty of vegetables were added to the pizza. It was a vegetarian pizza after all. After my daughter had added the vegetable toppings that she wanted it was slipped into the oven. The only thing left to do was wait and soon we could smell the pizza. My daughter was excited and kept asking me when would the pizza be ready.

When it is, was my reply. She didn’t have to wait too long before she was able to dig into the pizza. I wish I could say that there are left overs, but she consumed the remaining slices within two days after this had been made. She much prefers making the pizza over buying one. She says it tastes fresher and I would have to agree with her.
