I am going to use this post with a few friends. I had already planned on having a pizza party for a group of very poor ladies who want to learn to make pizza, both for home use as well as for sale in the 'hood. Pizza is a pricey novelty item in the poor 'burbs of the capital. I make pizza all the time at home with the incredibly fresh produce of Central America. Thanks for a bit more encouragement to throw a pizza party. I also refrigerate my dough. Good reminder! Thanks!

Nick, thank you for yet more inspiration. And such perfect timing- I planned on making mozzarella today and the garden is overflowing with basil and heirloom tomatoes. Definitely going to make pizza this week…maybe over the grill. BTW, your photos look so good I swear I could smell them. :0)

Beautiful pizza! I recently bought another pizza stone after losing my last one in a move years ago. I forgot the amazing difference it makes! I haven’t quite got around to buying a peel yet, but it’s on the list!

Awesome! I love converting people to homemade pizza!

To answer your question about yeast, rapid rise yeast and instant yeast are the same thing I think. I definitely used them both interchangeably in a number of recipes. I’m not sure about the bread machine yeast though…

This recipe isn’t like a traditional kneading one where you throw it out on the board and knead it… Kneading it in the bowl with a wet hand is a lot easier in my opinion.

I am a terribly inexperienced baker – I rarely even make stuff from a box, I just avoid it all together. I think I might give this a shot, though, because it looks delicious!

What is the difference between instant yeast and bread machine yeast and rapid rise yeast? Are they interchangeable? I know that I have a package of rapid rise yeast in the freezer and a container of bread machine yeast in the fridge.

I am going to have to “brute force” this one :) Any tips for someone who has never kneaded a thing in her life? I really appreciate your tips like dipping hands in water and the window pane test!

Pizzas look great! I also got some purple peppers at the market this weekend – so delicious and beautiful!
