A Make Your Own Pizza Party

I’m sure you have my dough recipe. Each ball should make four rolled personal pizzas. For kids they should be able to roll their own dough once it has been prepared and risen two hours earlier by the host.

Toppings: caramelized onions, anchovies for pissaladiere; roasted butternut squash slices; sauteed spinach and arugula; boiled potato slices and rosemary; sauteed mushrooms, and peppers; tomatoes/sauce; feta, goat, fontina and fresh mozzarella; sausage, pepperoni. Parmigiano Reggiano. Olives, plus, plus, plus.

And a big salad that the host would make.

I’ll think of more toppings but want to make it do-able, for me at least. There’s a lot of prep work but I think this is a good party for kids or to meet new people as everyone has to get their hands dirty, so to speak, and nothing gets people to know each other like working in a kitchen.

As a chef-trained home cook I’m thinking 8-12 guests is the maximum considering only four pizzas will be in the oven at a time and kids go first.

Let me know your thoughts, then we can go to Costco together and buy yeast in bulk. Cheers, Dee
