First attempt at pizza
The dough is from here. But I only had white four so... wasn´t really country dough. Made the sauce myself which turned out pretty good. Got the sauce recipe from here. I made a nasty mistake with the dough though. Lets just say the outside of the pie crust ended up much thicker then the middle. Live and learn I suppose. Also, I´m stuck with a gas stove which doesn´t get that hot to begin with, but also the door doesn´t completely close. Not ideal for pizza as you can imagine. No pizza stone either, just the bottom of a cookie sheet. Yummy pizza regardless! (Although I will not be getting that particular peppered salami again!)

Your pizza looks great. About 20 years ago, I had made a pizza while visiting a lake cabin with my children, only to realize at the last minute that the electric oven wasn't working. We burned charcoal in a closed grill in which the pan fit perfectly, and had the best pizza we ever ate with a great smoke flavor.
Well done for having one hand tied behind your back.
Happy Baking
My wife´s family really like them. I´m here in Mexico City with them. The best pizza they get is probably Domino´s... so it´s an easy crowd to please I suppose lol.
Nice story there Buster! Probably the best spaghetti I ever made was on a campfire way out in the bush. Can´t remember why I planned to make pasta on a campfire to begin with lol, but it turned out great!
In regards to dough thickness, well I formed the balls as if I was making a boule loaf... won´t happen again. I´ve found some good links here on TFL for vids showing how to shape pizza dough, so will follow those next time.
Till next time! Thanks again!
