The reason I love this kit –and the driving force that made it clear to us that we had to bring it together– is because it came out of our personal experiences which so positively influenced our lives. We’ve been going to Holiday Craft fairs around the tri-state area showing everyone how Gourmet Pizza Made Easy makes a terrific holiday gift, and talking with people about its genesis. Making pizza at home has been part of many special dinners for us as a couple and later, as a family… and it’s been heart-warming to share these memories and connect with people over good home-cooking.
Kneading bread is elemental, even when you pick up dough at your local pizzeria (as I often do). The rolling cutter will help you turn a large dough into three (relatively even-sized) pieces; set the two olive-oiled pieces aside on a plate for pies 2 and 3. Using your finger-tips, spread the 1st dough out –on parchment paper sprinkled with corn meal of course– and if you like, use a rolling-pin to help make the shape rounder or longer, whichever you prefer. Making pizza is personal and making pizza at home is a relaxation art! You take charge of your ingredients, create a variety of food combinations, touch your food and get warm and toasty with your loved ones, be they best friends over for game night or helping the kids with math, …and when they figure out how many 1/2 cups go into one cup, well, that’s tasty, satisfying, and serves so many purposes at once!
Lately I’ve been getting photos of pizzas made with the Gourmet Pizza Made Easy; here is one I got from my friend Benan, it looks delicious!
This was the very first pie they made and now I hear these friends have a sunday-night ‘tradition’…… if two Sundays is long enough to be called a tradition!
Don’t be shy, and enjoy!
