I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day and/or Chinese New Year. This year for Valentine's Day we decided to stay in and save some money. I received a pizza stone for Christmas (thanks Grandma!) but so far hadn't had a chance to try it out yet - perfect reason to have Valentine's pizza.
We use the crust recipe from Reinhart's Break Baker's Apprentice which calls for refrigerating the dough at least overnight. This makes the dough so unbelievably soft and tender. Here is my pizza on the peel waiting to be put in the oven.
I was sure that I would mess up trying to slide the pizza from the peel to the pizza stone, so I made my husband do it. It seemed to work just fine. Here he is snacking on pizza toppings (even though he is wearing shorts I assure you it still freezing here...he just likes to wear shorts when indoors):
He's probably kill me if he knew I had put that picture on the internet...but whatever.
Here is my pizza out of the oven, waiting to be devoured. Toppings included pizza sauce, portobello, roasted eggplant, spinach, and cashew ricotta (Veganomicon).
Now that I've had pizza stone pizza I think I am spoiled for life! I love the crispiness and chewiness that it imparts. I can't wait to bake a loaf of bread on the stone!

What a great gift!

GREAT NEW VEGAN CHEESE!
ALSO GREAT ON PIZZA
Mac and Cheese Recipe
1 lb elbow mac.
1-2 containers of We Can’t Say Its Cheese
Cook mac until tender
Add We Can’t Say Its Cheese spread, mix and serve.
Its melts so easily and I like lots of cheese so I add more than 1 container.
It tastes just like cheese. Got the tip for this product from Veg News April pg 60 great new picks. A local health food store had it. Also, the local Whole Foods manager here in Ct said they were going to carry it in May. I never had a vegan cheese that tasted so good and melts for cooking like We Can’t Say Its Cheese. Great on bagels, toast, English muffins, on baked potatoes, etc.
