  1. This is absolutely fabulous. It was very time consuming, but it went very smoothly, and the ending result was WELL worth the wait. I love the onion on the bottom level because the flavor really comesout into the dough (in my opinion lol) and the oregano really adds a lot of OOMPh! :-) I WILL be making this again. Thats for sure!! thanks evelyn!!!
     
  2. I used dough from my local pizza shop and cooked on 500 for 12 minutes, on top of a silpat mat - turned out great!
     
  3. Wonderful, soft and fluffy! I did find myself sprinkling a bit of sea salt on my third (ahem) piece - I think I will give Roosie's idea of adding sun dried tomatoes a try the next time. Thanks for the recipe Ev!
     
  4. A 1000 times better than MY..........half-baked ideas. Made for Soups & Breads Recipe Tag.
     
  5. This was really nice. I made about half the recipe. I mixed up the dough in the bread machine, adding a splash of olive oil to it. I used fresh mozarella and queso quesadilla, as well as some sliced portabella mushroom. It's a recipe that allows you to use whatever you have sitting around in the pantry. I also have Greek oregano growing in my garden, and added both leaves and the lovely purple blossoms to the fugazza as it came out of the oven. I have a pizza dough recipe that I prefer, but this one will be a great alternative. The crust was very tender, from the milk.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
