Ronizza: Pork Pizza with Rapini & Bell Peppers

04Apr09

My drink is called a Rontini and my pizza is a Ronizza!

I really wanted pizza last night but was not able to get any so I decided to give yeast another try. I just found out that warm-hot water is the key. I used to always use room temperature water… I put my favorite ingredients on this irregularly shaped pizza and it is so good!
