Homemade Pizza!

Andrea recently posted her pizza dough recipe. I bookmarked it and planned to make it myself. Well last night was the night!



I put on my Pom apron and got to work!



I already had a huge bag of organic whole wheat flour so I used that instead of the spelt or all purpose flour. I will try spelt once I'm out of whole wheat though! Other than that, I followed Andrea's recipe exactly. Her tips were so helpful!



Here's the dough before it rose. I covered it with a warm, damp towel for 4 hours to let it rise. It rose a ton!



Once it was dinner time, I rolled it out and topped it with pesto and steamed spinach. 2 cups of spinach to be exact. It wilts down a ton!



Then I added broccoli, red bell pepper, 3 sliced chicken sun-dried tomato sausages and mozzarella cheese. I was going to add artichokes too but it was already fully loaded.



I put it in the oven for 15 mins at 400 degrees. It was perfect after that!



Andy and I each had 2 slices on a salad plate. We have 5 slices left! This makes a lot of pizza.

Pizza Toppings:

1 sliced red bell pepper
1 cup loosely packed shredded mozzarella. (I grate it myself, it's better!)
1 cup chopped broccoli
2 cups wilted spinach
3 chicken sausages sliced
2 tbsp pesto. (more would be great!)

Thanks for the dough recipe, Andrea! I will definitely make it again and again. It was so much cheaper than buying premade dough.



I bought these heel inserts yesterday after my doctor's appointment. I ran 3.3 slow miles on the treadmill with them in my shoes last night. My heel still hurts but not as much as usual.

With that said, I decided to run another 5k with Andy! And my sister Sarah, possibly?

Its on Sunday April 25th and I plan on improving my time by 2-3 mins. I plan on tackling this by doing some interval training. Check it out! Hopefully it will work for me! I'm planning on running 4x a week and strength training with Jillian Michael's 2x a week. I'll take 2 days off so I might do 2 workouts in a day sometimes.

What are your training plans for April?
