Homemade pizzas

Although the Ohio rain foiled my design to grill the pizzas, they nevertheless turned out pretty well, even if they were only cooked in the oven. I cooked three different types of pizzas, starting off with some Boboli pre-made pizza crusts. Perhaps my next pizza adventure will involve me making my own crust...

1. Spinach, Tomato, and Mozzarella Pizza
I prepped all three crusts by spreading some olive oil on the undersides. I spread some of the tomato sauce that came with the crusts on top and put some spinach leaves on top of the tomato sauce. We had a container of Formaggio Mozzarella balls in the fridge, so I cut those in half, and then put those on top of the spinach.


2. White Prosciutto and Bacon Pizza

So for these next two pizzas, I cooked up a white sauce using butter, flour, milk, and cheese (you can find a recipe here). I spooned this sauce over the crust, topped that with shredded mozzarella cheese, and topped that with bacon bits and thinly sliced prosciutto.



3. White Portobello Mushroom Pizza

So like the last pizza, I ladled on the white sauce and topped that with shredded mozzarella cheese. I diced up some small portobello mushrooms, sauteed them with a dash of minced garlic, and used that to top the final pizza.




I threw these into the oven at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes, and they turned out great! My personal favorite was the one with the tomato sauce, but in the white pizzas' defense, I think I might have messed up the white sauce. I'll keep experimenting with that and let you know how it turns out next time!
