Vegan Bites: Pizza Picnic

 O in the dough

Daddy chopping rosemary & sundried tomatoes

O talks about pizza ALL of the time!

She has never even really had pizza, but ate Dabby's pizza crust once. Now, she is all about knocking at doors to pay the 'delivery person' for 'pizza' (and 'strawberry juice!')

Saturday we finally found yeast in Shanghai.

So it was time to make our own pizza.

My mom used to make this for my sister and I as kids. It was by far my favourite.

Pizza Dough

~1 1/2 cups tepid water

~1 (500g) package dry yeast

~1/2 t salt

~1-2 t favourite dried herbs

~3-3 1/2 cups flour

Whisk water and yeast until dissolved. Whisk in salt & herbs.

Stir in flour (starting with 3 cups and adding more if it is too sticky) and knead. Let rise in warm place for 20 minutes. Knead and rise 10 minutes more. 

Roll onto pizza pan sprinkled with flour.

Add toppings and bake 30-40 minutes.

Since O has dairy allergies, we topped hers with veggies and omitted the cheese. 

She didn't seem to care!

We packed up a picnic blanket and headed to the park.
