{my first homemade pizza!}

i don't know how i had never managed to make pizza from scratch before..

i guess the dough-making part scared me,

but i finally went for it the other night, and oh my, i am so glad i did.

i think i'll be making pizza on a weekly basis now.

the dough really wasn't hard to make (toughest part was shaping it)

and the possibilities of cheeses & toppings are just endless!!

for my very first pizza pie, i followed a recipe from 

the wondrous pioneer woman.

if you aren't familiar with her, i suggest you familiarize yourself pronto.

she is the queen of homestyle cooking! 

soo many scrumptious recipes to try out. and the photos on her blog are fantastic!

they take you step by step through every recipe!

i recently used her recipe for restaurant-style salsa and it is now my fave!

(that was a lot of exclamation marks right there! can you tell i'm a fan?)

anyway, back to the pizza. i used this recipe for the dough.

and this one for the toppings.

i realize prosciutto is not the cheapest of ingredients, 

but i used probably only 3 oz. & it was plenty. it's soo good on pizza!

and let me tell you, the combination of 
sweet carmelized onions + salty prosciutto = divine.

what do you like to put on your pizza? 
i'd love some creative suggestions for future pizza making!
