I have a VERY special post for you today friends. The man of the house has written a guest post just for YOU. It’s been a heck of a long time since he wrote about chicken fingers that looked like Gonzo. Or if you’re a long time reader you might remember him recommending that you dump an entire sleeve of saltines in cream of chicken soup before garnishing it with an almond.
Take it away Mr Leitch:
Tonight I finished my 24 hours of creating a potato rosemary pizza for dinner. I’m sure Morgan has told everyone out there that with her in exams happening that I was charged with the task of basically keeping the two of us alive for two weeks.
Normally Morgan does a pretty bang up job of keeping me alive. She can drop the ball sometimes on meeting ice cream expectations or cookie consumption, but all in all I have to a hand it to her she does a great job looking after the two of us.
I say 24 hours of pizza because originally this was supposed to be Tuesday night’s dinner and I happened to read the recipe wrong. I thought it was going to take about 30 minutes for the dough to rise for the crust when it was actually two hours. I had to wait and then I had to punch it and then I had to wait another hour. So while I was working on the dough last night Morgan went and got us a cheese pizza.
Here it is, for first go it wasn’t too bad.
I think I would maybe cook it a bit less but that’s just kind of not knowing our oven. And I precooked the potatoes because I got paranoid about them being cooked all the way through. I didn’t have a mandolin to cut the potato so it’s kind of like potato wedges sitting on a crust.
Feast your eyes on some some food pics of the pizza.
In the comment section let me know if there’s maybe any other pro tips out there for making homemade pizza. So thank you and good day.
My husband is the pizza king! I have no tips for you but I think your pizza looks delicious. Morgan is a lucky lady!
pizza king?!?!?! how do I make mine a pizza king
Looks wonderful! Sounds like you guys are a great team!
we try
awww…come teach my husband!!!
haha loved this! looks great!
Aww. What a great boyfriend! Pizza looks delicious!
pizza is the meal my hubby is in charge of making, but I buy the ingredients. So my tip, use pizza yeast, it doesn’t have to rise as long!
usually about a half hour, so the amount of time it takes to prep the toppings and pre-heat the oven. Looks great Brad! good job taking care of little miss busy-pants\!
PIZZA YEAST?!?!? Hmmm maybe that’s what the recipe was originally calling for because he had that half an hour time in his mind
Hahaha love how he words things: first I had to wait an hour, then pinch it, them await another hour. And now here I am picturing big ol potatoe wedges on pizza. But they don’t look that big, so good job on cutting them thin!
for the record – he just spoke into his iPhone and it made the post into text … so that’s exactly how he speaks
WHAT!!!!!!! Technology is CRAZY.
Punch not pinch. Dangin iPad
He’s definitely a keeper! That pizza looks great! I don’t even make the crust from scratch when I make pizza, so good job!
I make all of the meals every other day of the year for the last six years and I have never made pizza crust, it’s impressive for SURE!
He’s a keeper!!
It looks delicious!
Nice job. My husband only knows how to cook oatmeal and hotdogs LOL. And I can’t say I’ve ever made homemade pizza…
I know, I do all the food/meal stuff here and I’ve never made crust, he’s obviously trying to show off
yay Brad!!! I will be expecting home made pizza on our next visit….looks wonderful.
Oh that looks REALLY good!!
my best tip is get MY HUSBAND to make it
