Trader Joe...Okay, Amy, looks yummy but try this....<br />Trader Joe's dough is great, $1.29. Comes in white, whole wheat or herb. Whole Foods is also good, but a LOT more expensive. Heck, Market Basket's is good too - $.99!, but just white.<br /><br />The trick, I think, is to leave the dough in your fridge for days...at least 3...till it is so swollen it looks like it will take over the whole fridge! We had one that actually burst thru' it's plastic sac!<br /><br />Put a bit of olive oil on your hands, take the dough out of the bag, press down (be gentle!), till the gas has escaped and you have a nice round. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for a couple hours. You will find the dough will be much easier to work with.<br /><br />Buy some corn meal (comes in a round canister like oatmeal) for your peel. The pizza will slide right off into the oven.<br /><br />Sometimes we just divide the dough in two, slightly stretch into a round, then plop into oiled 9" round cake pans. Press out to the shape of the pan leaving a nice thick crust around the edge. Eventually it will keep the shape of the pan and stop shrinking back into a blob. <br /><br />It is easier to handle 2 smaller pizzas than 1 large. You can put different toppings on them (I like spinach, Bob doesn't/he likes hot peppers, I don't!), or you can freeze 1 for later.<br /><br />Happy pizza making!Bonnienoreply@blogger.com
