I never buy frozen pizza. Ok, not never but it's super rare. It's also rare that we order pizza. Although if it were up to Carlos we'd probably eat Papa Johns at least twice a week. Because my husband does love his pizza, we eat it maybe once a week. But i make it all from scratch. Before you go complimenting me on my mad pizza dough making skills, know that i use the bread machine to make the dough and then stick it in a bowl to rise for an hour or so before rolling it out, topping it, and baking it. It's really quite simple. Yes, it takes more time than popping a frozen one in the oven for 2 min. But the end result is so much better.
When I lived in Costa Rica I became obssessed with a lunch spot that made calzones to order. I was a regular and would order one with jamon y queso...sin hongos. (ham and cheese, without mushrooms.) I always had to remember the no mushroom part because they automatically put them on everything. Anyways, although I've never been able to replicate the deliciousness of those specific calzones, I've sure as heck tried. Often I'll take my risen pizza dough, split it in half and make one calzone for me and one pizza for Carlos. (He prefers pizza even though I've expained that they're technically the same thing, just shapped differently) Anywho, I made pizza last night, and it was super yummy. Here's the recipe I used for the dough. I let the crust cook for 10 min on it's own before putting on the toppings just to ensure it cooks all the way through. Use regular red sauce, and any toppings your italian heart desires.
