| Deep-dish pizza - delicious! |
On most any Friday evening you can find us at home, eating pizza and watching a movie. It's become somewhat of a tradition for Familie Dove.
We often give the boys the choice: pick up Grandis from the grocery store (Grandiosa, Norway's most popular frozen pizza), get takeout from Balkan (our favorite to-go pizza in Sandefjord), or homemade. And most Fridays, they opt for one made from scratch.
Last night, we tried something new. Instead of our traditional rectangular pizza, we experimented with Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And while the boys still prefer the traditional style, Zack and I loved this new version!
I found the recipe
HERE. I followed it for the most part. Ground sausage isn't something I've been able to find in Norway, so I improvised with ground chicken and pizza seasoning (improvise is a word I often use when attempting American recipes here!). And I used pizza cheese for both layers of cheese, instead of the final parmesan layer. This was my first experience doing something like this with a springform pan, and I was very pleased with the results - well, once Zack managed to pry the sides off the pan!
Do you make homemade pizza? What type does your family prefer? What are your favorite toppings?

Sometimes we get a little creative - this was

We do homemade pizza almost every week. Usually we make three rectangular--one cheese, one pepperoni, and one barbecue chicken (with barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce).
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since we did homemade--Papa John's is our go-to of late, but we do pizza and a movie most every Friday night. When I do make one, I always think of y'all. =)
