My New Pizza Stone

My mom got me a pizza stone for Christmas and I got to use it for the first time tonight! She also bought us pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese to go with it. :)

I made a Margherita and a BBQ Chicken & Pineapple. These are probably my favorite flavors and apart from some fresh mozzarella I can use ingredients I usually have on hand anyway. The pizza stone is awesome! My pizzas cooked evenly, were still chewy, but nice and crisp on the edges and bottom, without having to burn them or cook too long. We will definitely be using this often.
 BBQ Chicken & Pineapple (BBQ sauce, chicken, pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and shredded mozzarella)
Margherita (pizza sauce, tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil)

I did not make the dough myself...I bought it from the freezer section. I have plans to one day make my own. My aunt makes the most amazing homemade pizza dough with whole wheat flour. I need to get the recipe from her sometime. Her family used to make their own pizza once a week for a fun family meal night. I really like this idea...maybe its something Drew and I can do with our kiddos.

Thanks for the pizza night, Mommy!
