It actually turned out pretty well. I used the store bought loaves of bread dough, you can buy in the freezer section of the supermarket!! I don't own a pizza pan, so no problem I can make pizza in cookie pan!! So I rolled out the crust, (no I can't toss pizza crust)! It had, pizza sauce, sweet Italian sausage, mushroom, green peppers, red onion, tomatoes, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese on top of sauce and again on top of everything! It really turned out well I thought!
So now here is the dilemma! I totaled our cheap pizza cutter a year ago, (what the hey I never liked it anyway)!! So this pizza is cooked in a cookie pan, like the one in the pic! So I have a cheap block of knives, (heck of a thing for a knife maker to say, huh)! There is a chiefs knife similar to this one.
It' got fair steel so I keep it sharped up! So to work it out in the steel pan I use heel of the knife at the square edge and press down! I figure you are dulling it only slightly more than you would cutting against a hard cutting board.
So you make the first cut with the heal at the edge of the pan, turn the knife around and use the heel against the opposite side of the pan and, wham you are done!!
So the wife decides she wants another piece but not as big as I had the pieces cut!! So I look over there and she is sawing back and forth on the piece of pizza and against the steel pan.
Before I could stop myself! I say hey, you are dulling the heck out of my knife, sawing back and forth on that steel pan!!
She looks at me and says, these are my knives as well,...……. silence,...…... cricket's chirping.
She lets that hang there for just a second and continues with,...……... since these are our knives,.........I am dulling my half!!!
Yes ma'am you have a point there!! Would you like more tea with your pizza. Sometimes you have to know when to pick your battles!!
