About 15 of the 32 IES Students decided to travel to Stockholm, Sweden this past weekend, while the remainder of us opted to discover more of our new home: Berlin. On Saturday, six of us met up at one of our apartments and cooked a homemade pizza. Lauren and Jake went to the grocery store and bought all the necessary ingredients (including yeast...yes, we even made our own crust) and then we all met to cook the pizza together. The cookbook was in German, so Lauren was assigned to translating the directions. Jake was assigned to mixing the dough ingredients, while the rest of us were assigned to chopping up the toppings.
Once the dough was ready, Lauren and I spread out the dough on the pan. Seeing as though we did not have the proper materials...and throwing pizza dough over your head is for the professionals...we had to "roll" the dough out with our hands. This is much harder than it sounds, and no the pizza did not come out in a perfect little circle. We called our pizza the "tombstone pizza," because that is exactly how it was shaped.
I don't know if you all have ever heard of a "loaded baked potato" but this pizza was a "loaded baked pizza." The toppings included: tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, green/yellow/red peppers, onions, pepperoni, prosciutto, italian sausage, and mushrooms! And I will have to admit, it was one damn good pizza!!
