As always, the crust came from Earth Elements Farm. Matt, the one-time pizza-makin’ pro, prepped the dough and baked it [...]

Friday night was pizza night. Oh, how I love pizza night! We’ve been buying frozen whole wheat pizza dough through the co-op from Earth Elements Farm. It’s become a regular item in our co-op order because it’s so convenient and yummy. I caramelized onions, spread the dough with pesto and marinara, tomatoes, mozzarella and goat [...]
