Any of you who read Steve know of his addiction to foodstuffs, and hos NowLive shows about cooking have been great. So I thought I’d give one of his recipes a try.

Now, I loves me some pizza. As do the Ogwife and Oglet. Now, their taste in pies is not the same as mine- I tend to like traditional pies and they like The Hut. Which is, to paraphrase Doug Adams, Almost, but not totally, utterly unlike pizza.

I still need to get a nice peel. I used cookie sheets tonight. which worked basically OK. I also need to get some semolina to get the pies in and out of the oven easier- but I gotta tell you, if you watch Steve’s NowLive show, and you follow his recipe even moderately well, you will cook a damned good pie, right out of the gate. I did- in fact, I cooked two.

I was unable to find any Saporito sauce- but I found the Bonta. And for the price of a small Hut pizza I bought enough sauce to make two hundred thousand pizzas. Well, maybe not that many, but a lot.

I’m going to experiment with pre-mixing the sauce and packaging it in ziplocs that I can freeze and pull out when ready. The crust is simplicity itself. And I’m happy to say, steve did NOT lead me wrong, his directions get you a good basic street pizza you can master in about ten minutes.
