Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza: Recipe

[[posterous-content:pid___1]]So Pizza Hut makes this tasty looking pizza, its crust stuffed with hot dogs.  Would love to call in an order for that, right?  Not in the US.  Pizza Hut has reserved this treat for the UK only, with no plans of bringing it to the states.  

So we made one of our own.  Let me tell you how.

We used store-bought pizza dough (Pilsbury thick crust), conecuh sausage instead of hot dogs (much tastier), and plenty of veggie toppings.

Ingredients:

 

Pizza dough

8 oz Conecuh sausage (halved)

4 oz California Sun Dry tomato spread (it’s worth it)

6 oz Tomato paste

10 oz Mozerella cheese (shredded)

3 oz Pepperoni (sliced)

1 cup Spinach (fresh)

1 cup Mushrooms

2 oz Olives (sliced)

1/3 cup Crumbled feta cheese

Mustard Drizzle Sauce: (mix to taste)

mustard, soy sauce and basalmic vinegar

We made a rectangular pizza, for two reasons: we don’t have a round baking sheet, and the sausage fits much better in the crust this way.

Roll out the pizza dough on the baking sheet (non-stick foil works great to protect the baking sheet).

Place the slices of conecuh sausage along the edges, leaving enough room ro roll the crust over the sausage.

Mix the tomato spread and paste and spoon it over the pizza dough, spreading it evenly.

Sprinkle the cheese evenly across the pizza.

Spread the rest of the toppings evenly across the pizza as well.  Use whatever pizza toppings you like.  We layered the spinach, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, feta and more olives.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is brown and the cheese starts bubbling.

Media_httpc1345842cdn_jpmia

Google Drive launched yesterday complete with an accompanying Android app, bringing another consumer cloud service to a crowded and competitive space. What sets Google Drive apart, however, is its inclusion in the broader Google family. That means a certain level of integration with other Google products. When it comes to mobile gaming in particular, Google Drive holds promise here as well…

On the heels of a weekend that was full of rain and dead mice, I could use a little color. I came across these beautiful photographs by Alexandra Valenti on Caitlin Mociun’s blog and haven’t been able to stop staring at them since. They remind me of grown-up finger painting in the best way possible. I wish I could dip my fingers in bright paint and perk up the grey view outside of my window this morning.

Fast talkers aren’t saying much – language speeds and info density measured | @Dictionary.com

Think of when you’ve listened to someone speak Spanish or Japanese. Does it seem the words flow out very quickly, faster than other languages? Academics would agree with you. For the last decade, linguists have speculated that different languages are spoken at significantly different rates. The challenge has been how to measure the respective speeds…
