This week’s appetizer is kind of the opposite of my last appetizer. If you recall, the last dip was overcooked to the point that the milk curdled and it was inedible.
This week’s app actually started out as an attempt to make Chicago Style Deep Dish pizza. Publix (our grocery store) was out of the pre flattened pizza dough I like to use (their brand, sold in the mini fridge by the bakery, the stuff is amazing) so I bought the dough ball and thought “Hey, flattening it can’t be too hard, can it.”
*insert canned laughter from sitcoms*
*increase to maniacal laughter*
*crash to sobs*
My husband tried to. I tried to. My husband tried again.
Then he got frustrated and started making balls and tossing them in the springform pan I was planning on using.
Then he put it in the oven for 15 minutes.
Took it out, topped it with cheese and sauce and put in again for the cheese to melt.
And voila. My husband made the app for the week. Giving me a break for a change haha.
And he became a surprise guest chef for the week!
