Personal Pizza Homemade Convenience Ideas

January 19, 2020January 19, 2020 bubblebathselfempowerment

Pizza is one of my favorite foods. I make it at least once a week.

I’ve been single for a long time so if I make a regular size pizza I will will eat too much.

The solution for this was to make a batch of pizza dough and freeze dough balls that will fit in my hand (I have long hands).

On a night when I want pizza, I just take a frozen dough ball out of the freezer and put it into an oiled bowl (in the morning preferably). Then when I get home after work, the dough has risen and is ready to be made into pizza.

I always be sure to have pizza toppings and sauce on hand. I love pepperoni pizza but BBQ chicken/turkey/pork pizza is runner up. I will also freeze leftover chicken, turkey and pork for the BBQ pizza, and also take out a portion of this to defrost in the fridge while I’m at work. Bacon is also delicious on the BBQ pizza and I have even used roasted asparagus. Once in a while I get creative and make other types of pizzas, but those are my go-to’s.

Do you love pizza too? Please share your tips, topping ideas, recipes or similar cooking ideas. I always love to hear from you.

The pandemic brought a lot of awareness to me about climate change, food shortages, how quickly our hospitals could colapse and more. This has sent me on a mission of becoming self-sustainable, empowered and working to help heal the earth. That is what the focus of this blog has become. The main way I'm working at this is through building a food forest and documenting as much as possible in hopes to inspire others. The more of us that do this, the more it will help heal the earth. When we buy produce from the grocery store, it was grown through monoculture, and that leads to use of chemicals that goes onto our food and into our planet, destroying soil. If we grow our own through permaculture (a food forest), we give the soil health. We also give ourselves health by growing organic foods and herbs that contribute to our health. There's a lot more to this, but this touches the surface. I'm only one year into this but my food forest is growing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Great idea, Monica. Convenient, yet so thoroughly, and rewardingly, homemade!

Two personal favorites – one seasonal, a garden pizza with slivered zucchini, diced tomatoes, baby spinach leaves, and garlic – the other offering the sea’s bounty. Thinly-sliced shrimp (or in extravagance, crabmeat) plus the requisite garlic.

Mama mia!

  Oh my goodness, those sound delicious – and much more healthy than mine. Do you use regular pizza sauce on them, and what kind of cheese. Lately I’ve been using pepper-jack on everything – I especially like it on the BBQ pizzas.

    I forgot to mention another that I don’t make as frequently because I don’t always have artichoke hearts on hand. I use a jarred alfredo sauce, cooked chicken, bacon, artichoke hearts and whichever cheese I have on hand.

    Thanks, Monica! Regular pizza sauce, usually. When creativity informs effort, though, skinned plum tomatoes pushed through a sieve, then added to garlic sautéed in a generous dollop of butter. Simmer until reduced by a third, stirring and adding shredded basil, salt and pepper. Et voila!
    
    Cheese with a light hand, as I really don’t care for it. Tried, true (and tired?) mozzarella of course, and an equal share of parmesan. Freshly-grated, please; none of that regrettable dust in the green can! Reggiano if you can find it.

The sauce sounds delicious! I am growing basil this year just so I can have it fresh on hand. And of course, tomatoes!
