Pizza nights are always great, but especially when there’s a baker in the family who knows how to make a delicious crust! I helped with the toppings, but the crust is probably the most critical part of the pizza to me. 💗🍕
I’m not religious, but my wife must be the Goddess of Pizza! Three different kinds today: sliced pork, onion, and scallions; Margherita; and cured meat, goat cheese, and greens. All on a yummy crust! We have had a pizza stone for years, but Mariko got a pizza steel a last year and we’ve been using it for pizza (and also to regulate the temperature of the oven for baking). The crust is much better with the steel, I have to say. If you are serious about using your own dough, it is worth having! We bought this one, which is currently unavailable, but there are others just like it. And while you’re at it, buy a pizza spatula too! 🍕 Bon apetit
While in San Antonio this past weekend, we went to have an early dinner at Dough Pizzeria Napoletana. I’ve eaten at a different location of Dough before but not at the one close to the Alamodome. This one had a nice patio and the weather was perfect for a meal outside (and the photos turned out much better because of the natural light). We ordered the Buratta Tre Colore and the Signature “Pork Love” pizza. Both were delicious! Of course since the name of the restaurant is Dough, they better have a good one, and it is in fact an excellent dough. A little chewy, but crispy and bubble as well. Just as I like it. 😊
If you’re looking for a great pizza in San Antonio, I definitely recommend a visit to Dough!
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Our friends got a new Ooni pizza oven which uses wood pellets so they hosted a pizza brunch to try it out. It worked nicely and many stomachs were filled. 😊 The dough was handmade and we had a few different types of pizza, including a yummy Japanese-style corn/mayo/tuna pizza. It sounds weird, but it’s super yummy!
I hope you had a good day!

こんにちは。How’s it going?
We visited a friends’ house for a pulque and mead drink tasting, garden tour, and of course good food. The man of the house is a sushi chef, so we were treated to some yummy salmon carpaccio. It was fun to watch him effortlessly slice up the fish. Wow!
Our friends grow so many different kinds of vegetables, herbs, and fruit in their yard. It’s really amazing! And they have chickens too, so they can enjoy fresh eggs all the time. As a bonus, we got to see the new chicks they are raising. So cute!
