Pounding the Dough
January 1, 2011
How to start a new year right:
Don’t do anything all day.
Load up on carbohydrates; it’s going to be another swift year.
Clean out fridge leftovers by piling them on pizza dough.
Eat the pizza.
Eat the pizza twice.
$4 from the local pizzeria and you need not waste time waiting for dough to rise. Fresh as the day is new, pizza dough from the source means no weird stuff added to prolong shelf life.
Layer one: marinara. It’s a holiday so, sure, go for a jar. I always had a taste for Francesco Rinaldi‘s marinara. No high fructose corn syrup: check!
Next layer: leftover pecan-crusted seitan and that half an onion in the fridge, sliced and roasted.
Final layer: Daiya cheddar… because you’re supposed to use the whole bag in 7 days.
End result: delicious, crisp pizza! Time and leftover-efficient!
