The Pizza Collaboration

One of the main reasons to have a farm is to eat it. All my herbs were starting to totally take over my table so I decided it was time to strike back. I asked my friend Tinh who likes to bake if she would be interested in taking part in a pizza collaboration. She agreed to be in charge of dough making. Here is the result.



Here is my farm pre-pizza. It is starting to get quite large.



These guys are about to become pesto sauce and tomato sauce.


Herbs


These herbs will soon be pesto sauce. Who needs pine nuts when you have sunflower seeds?

Here we took some tomatoes and boiled their skin off. Then we put it in the blender with basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme, and Asian basil and made this tomatoe sauce. Here we are boiling the extra water off.


Tinh's first pizza crust - pretty good.


Attempt #1 - Pesto chicken pizza


Attempt #2 - Pepperoni and prosciutto pizza.



At this point we were starting to get better at making dough in pizza crusts.



This would later be two pizzas.



Attempt 3 or 4 (I can't remember) - This is an extra meaty pizza.



This is a gigantic calzone - its kind of experimental. This is what happened to attempt # 2 because I slid it off the pan wrong.



Here is everyone eating pizza!



Artisan - Round pizzas are for people with no imagination. (I think this is the third attempt) This meal put quite a dent in the farm, but that's ok. I just have more room to grow now. Makes me appreciate the herbs. I might make some pesto bread out of the remaining dough and pesto sauce.
