Making my first pizza as I type!

The dough is going for its first rise right now. It looks a bit "wet", but hopefully it'll be fine. I decided to top it with lindrusso's marinara, mozzarella, lots of mushrooms and some ham. I'm so excited. Homemade pizza!

That sounds great! Let us know how it turns out.

Just had the first slice...
On the plus side: tasty crust -- made the crust from the CL pizza of the dinner on a dime issue. It tastes so much better than take-out crust. Nice and tender, too.

On the not-so-plus side: MORE toppings. I didn't realize how much the mushrooms and ham would shrink. When I put them all on, the pizza looked very full, but the finished product is so spare!

I will make this again. This was a pretty good try for my first pizza. I've got enough toppings to give this another go.
