I'm not sure if this pic is more about the pizza or the wine! Either way they were both good. This was my first challenge as part of the daring bakers and I was so glad it was a savory one! I have never made pizza dough before and although I swear it is probably an easy process I felt a little pressure. I had actually never worked with yeast before either, so I was unused to the consistency of what the dough should really feel like. I played around with it and ended up splitting the dough in half (adding much more flour to the second half). In the end I sort of used a combination of both doughs (it was a pretty random process but turned out great nonetheless).
I decided to make two different types of pizzas with two different types of sauces. First I made the pizza shown at the top of this post. It is a pesto, chicken and sundried tomato pizza. The next pizza is to the left here and has tomato sauce, green pepper, red onion, tomato and pancetta.
Overall it was a great experience and I actually can't wait to try out this recipe again. Thanks DB for pushing me out of my baking comfort zone!
