It's Not Delivery. It's . . .

Not DiGiorno either. But it tastes even better than our favorite pizza that we get out. Even better than the many pizza recipes we've posted on this site. I know it's Friday evening and you probably have plans. But if you can find 10 minutes, I suggest you mix together this awesome no-knead pizza dough that I found on Bon Appetit.

Then after 18 hours of rising, put together these ingredients to make a sweet sauce:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 24 ounces tomato puree
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Fenugreek or onion powder
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 to 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method . . .

1. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a simmer.
3. Cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

The instructions for cooking the pizza are interesting (and on the site I provided above). You actually preheat your oven to its hottest setting for an hour with a pizza stone inside. Then you place your dough on the stone, top with your sauce and cheese/etc., and change the heat to broil.

It only takes about 7 minutes until you have this great pizza.

The dough is . . .

Light
Crispy
Moist
Chewy
Delicious
Thin
Bubbly

And I have no idea how it's able to be so many things all at once. I love food. We all know that. However, this particular recipe was almost too good to be true. So, we're making it again tonight . . . just to make sure we weren't dreaming.
