Been a while since a pizza pic… so here ya go. Pepperoni with olive pollution on Jenn’s portion. #dejus365

A bit of bread baking: my first focaccia bread, and my first traditional Irish soda bread (for St Patrick’s day yesterday). Neither was perfect, but they turned out well enough, and were tasty. #dejus365
It’s been a month since my last pizza photo, so time for another: last night’s effort, that turned out pretty nice. #dejus365
Tasty burger. #dejus365
Ham, cheese, and tomato omelette plus crispy bacon for Sunday breakfast. There’s a fine art to making an omelette that doesn’t suck, and I think I’m getting closer to that ideal. #dejus365
I enjoy making bread, each one a unique blob of crunchy crust and bubbly softness. #dejus365
80 lb of black oil sunflower seeds for the bird feeders; we go through about that much each month. #dejus365
Peanuts for the birds (mainly jays). We’ll find peanut shells under trees all over the property, but they do enjoy them. #dejus365
Chicken feed. #dejus365
Pizza toppings
I thought I’d do a little longer post today, showing photos of adding toppings to a recent pizza.
To start off, here’s the dough shaped and ready for toppings. I’ll post about making the dough another time:
I drizzle on a little olive oil; I don’t measure it, but getting the amount right is important; too little and it tastes bland and dry, too much and it tastes greasy:
Then I swirl on a couple of spoonfuls of my pizza sauce (more on that in the future, too, though it’s nothing fancy):
Sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese; I like it fairly thick, but not so thick that it obscures the sauce:
Add the other toppings; in this case big pepperoni slices:
A little more cheese:
Out of the oven, with nice crispy bits and puffy crust:
Sliced and ready to eat:
