this year kristin & i celebrated our love on valentine's day at home. we opened a really great bottle of pinot noir & made homemade pizzas - to include the whole wheat crust!kristin's vegetarian pizza: whole wheat crust, pasta sauce, baby spinach, baby bella mushrooms, artichoke hearts, black olives, & mozzarella cheese.
brian's protein packed pizza: whole wheat crust w/ a scoop of plain protein powder, pasta sauce, baby spinach, baby bella mushrooms, artichoke hearts, black olives, mozzarella cheese, & chicken breast.
we enjoyed the home pizza making experience from vday so much that we made pizzas at home again this weekend. during this episode of homemade pizza making we learned that the expiration date on yeast *DOES* matter. after i ran to the store to pick-up new packets of yeast we realized that we couldn't wait another 2-hours to let the dough rise so we opted for a 30-minute dough recipe from allrecipes.com which worked out pretty well.
the pizzas from this weekend looked much better than the attached pic from vday '08. however, i thought it better to share where our pizza making tradition started - we even have a second pizza pan now & a much BIGGER pizza slicer.

i love making homemade pizzas.....and topping them with toasted pine nuts....mmmmmmmm
they sound delicioso!
the flavors that come out when pine nut are roasted are amazing. the last time i had roasted pine nuts was at your place in fact. do you think roasted pine nuts on "my" pizza would be good? if so, how many roasted pine nuts are we talking (1/4 cup or so)?
