I love to cook and have been the primary meal-prep person in my home for the past seven years. I enjoy trying new recipes, and am not too easily intimidated. But. For some reason, I have consistently balked at the idea of making my own pizza dough, despite the fact tha pizza is one of my husband's favorite foods.

Over the break, I confronted my pizza making fears, inspired by one of my favorite blogs ( nieniedialogues.blogspot.com/ ). The recipe sounded simple, and looking at the picture, I remembered the adage about bad pizza. Paraphrased, it suggests that pizza, simililar to other sensual delights, is good even when it's bad.
