PIZZA

I had a meal planned for tonight but we had to go to Costco instead and pickup stuff for tomorrow night's party at a friend's house. Anyway we bought a pizza from Costco. Trouble is, it is a 17" SQUARE. I have a round pizza stone and it is not 17". I keep the pizza stone in my oven at all times. I believe it helps to redistribute the heat better within that electric box. I put the square pizza on the round stone and it hung off the stone and each corner burned and the smoke detector started going off and scaring the cat and he was like "don't you smell it burning" "AHHHHHHHHHH"!!!!!!!!!!!! I did smell something but didn't put it together that the pizza was burning. He moved it up to the top rack and it finished the cooking process and ALL disasters were abruptly averted. The pizza was descent and in a pinch will do again. BUT I saw Alton Brown on Good Eats make his pizza crust from scratch and I am definitely going to try it. Now I have made pizza crust before. My mother-in-law always made her pizza crusts with some type of Bisquick mixture. His aunt owned a pizza shop at one time. I used a hot roll mix to mix my crust before which was a good crust. BUT Alton's was from total scratch, with all that rising and everything.
