so nick and i were lucky enough to stop in and stock up at trader joe's in richmond a little while back and one of our coveted items was fresh pizza dough. when we went shopping, they only had whole wheat dough, so that's what we came home with.
unfortunately, this is much tougher to roll out and we really needed a class 1 pizza tosser, like our friend jeff, to get the dough right. nick worked as hard a he could, though, will full encouragement from our dog, hercules.
for this pizza, we decided on the following toppings: pepperoni, roasted red peppers, black olives (on half) and the standard mozzerella/pizza mix cheese and red sauce
after working the dough for what felt like a freakin' hour, we finally got the pizza assembled and in the oven she went. it was supposed to take 10-12 minutes, but took longer, probably because we used a stone. here's the before and afters
verdict: we will not be making any more pizza until we can perfect the dough. whole wheat pizza is normally great, but this particular dough was not good at all. boo. back to frozen pizza for now!
