So, today my good friend and I made the most AMAZING pizza, following a wonderful recipe that I found on pinterest a while ago! (Click my pinterest button at the top of this website, and you'll see all my boards, full of things I think are absolutely cool, like this recipe!)
By the way, in case you were wondering, this recipe is from The Marvelous Misadventures of a Foodie blog, and you can see this recipe on that website by clicking here. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most heavenly thing I've ever tasted, I would give this recipe a 5 and 1/2! It was so tasty, the recipe was pretty easy to follow, and it used pretty normal, keep-on-hand ingredients. It didn't even take that long to whip up the homemade alfredo sauce! This is one of the few internet recipes I've tried that actually turned out just as beautiful and delicious as I expected, and it was pretty easy too! The alfredo sauce used in the recipe would also be wonderful on pasta, so I'm keeping this recipe on hand for that purpose as well. *I love pasta soooo much* Me and my friend agreed that this pizza contains all things good and necessary in the kitchen: garlic, alfredo sauce, chicken, basil, and mozarella cheese. What more could you ask for?! The dough we used was Pillsbury, pre-made in a can. I think it was supposed to be rectangular, but it got a bit traumatized when I was trying to take it out of the can and unroll it, so I reshaped it into a more round-ish shape. When we had made the alfredo sauce, we put that on the dough, then put mozarella cheese and cooked, shredded chicken on it. We didn't measure how much chicken we used, but I'm sure it wasn't the full 1 and 1/2 cups suggested in the recipe. Then we baked it for about 14 minutes. The crust was getting close to getting too brown, but we wanted to make sure the middle was completely cooked. Right when we pulled it out of the oven, we sprinkled the basil on it. (By the way, we tore the basil gently with our hands instead of cutting it. We just think it worked better that way.) Then we let our lovely pizza creation cool for a couple minutes. I think those minutes helped the basil warm up with the pizza and release some of its flavor. I'm thankful we got pictures of it when we did, because it honestly didn't stick around too long after these pics were taken. :) As I end this post, I apologize for the lighting in the pictures of the pizza. I wasn't completely happy with the flash on, or with it off, so I included the pictures taken with both. Hopefully between the two different light settings you can get an idea of how truly beautiful this pizza was. :)
