Janet and John's Pizza War


Not to brag, but John conceeded that my pizza was better than his. Last week we wanted something different for dinner and he thought of making our own pizza. I know this isn't an original idea but hey, we thought it would be fun. John and I have a very different idea of what a great pizza is. He is more traditional with tomato sauce and lots of meat, I like white pizza. Since he agreed mine was better, I will post what I did for my pizza. Oh, by the way, he ate half of my pie.


Janet's White Pizza


pizza dough (I cheated and bought the box mix)
2/3 cup Feta Cheese (we get ours from Three Graces Dairy in Marshall, NC)
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella chese
1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers (I used a brand Elki's that we will be stocking soon because they were so delicious)
1/2 fresh green bell pepper chopped
chopped garlic (I like a lot obut add to your own taste)

1T French Herbs (this is one of the blends we sell bulk. It has chives, basil and a few other herbs)


Roll out the dough on a pizza stone or tin. Sprinkle the feta cheese around and follow it with the mozzarella. Cut the peppers into 1 inch pieces and ditribute both over the face of the pie. I used the garlic in a jar and since I love garlic, I used 3 generous tablespoons. You can use garlic powder but the crunchiness of the chopped garlic really added something of it's own. Cover the top of the pizza with the herb mixture. Bake for 20 minutes ar 425 degrees. Makes one 12" pie.


Enjoy ,

Janet
