Doesn't seem to be a very well written recipe. As Heidi K. pointed out, there is no time or temperature given which could be a function of allowing for different doughs, but I would have expected it to say so at least. Also, gathered all of the ingredients including one pizza dough, but then the instructions are saying to use half and that the other half is for a second pizza? Adding to that, my pizza irreparably stuck to the pan (not the recipe's fault) and the sauce seemed to be too ... something. I won't make this again.

Delicious. I agree with other reviewers that you don't need as much sauce as they suggest, and that they definitely don't put that much on the real ones in the restaurant. (Also the CPK recipes seem to be pretty heavy handed on the cheese too, for my taste, and again, they don't use that much on the ones in the restaurant, for memory.) I sometimes cheat and use Ayam's Satay Sauce instead of making the peanut sauce and it is still fantastic.

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
