*Pizza at our house is a passion--now I can't say that anyone living here works for Domino's, but we love our pizza!  Tonight everyone got to make their own:

This crazy cats went for pepperoni or ham with pineapple.

All the crust came from the same batch, but Ellen's was the tastiest, I'm not sure if it is because she worked it the most when she was rolling it out, or if it raised longer?  Yummy!

I chose a feta, chicken pizza.  Place ingredients on crust as ordered:

Pesto sauce/a little olive oil an herbs

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

cubed chicken (I just cooked a breast in the slower cooker the same time I put the dough in the bread machine)

1 diced tomato

1/4 cup feta cheese

a little more mozzarella cheese

This made a lot of pizza--and none of it went to waste!
