pizza topped pizza.
It's a pizza topped
with smaller pizzas.

Papa John’s Pizza is celebrating its 25th anniversary, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid couldn’t care less.
During an interview with The Hill last week, Reid (D-Nev.) stopped mid-sentence to check his BlackBerry for what could have been a very important e-mail.
A message from Rahm Emanuel? A breaking development on the Senate floor? Not quite.
“Help Us Celebrate Our 25th Anniversary With a $0.25 Pizza!” read the e-mail from Papa John’s.
Reid snapped, “Purchase a pizza for a quarter? I don’t like pizza, and I especially don’t like Papa John’s Pizza!”
Reid then tried to get back to the question at hand, but his pizza rant threw him off.
After a moment, Reid asked, “Where were we?”
Tish Muldoon, a spokeswoman for Papa John’s, said that the majority leader must have previously ordered from Papa John’s or opted in for company e-mails, because the restaurant chain does not send out spam.
Regardless, Muldoon said, “We would love to become his favorite pizza. The next time, if he wants, the pizza is on us.”

I do roll my dough with a rolling pin to a point, then form it by hand. We usually end up with a sorta rectangular thing with rounded edges. But who cares ... it is so delicious! I haven't tried freezing any dough yet because we use the whole recipe on the huge pizza. I have a whole wheat recipe that sounds great, but haven't tried it yet. Now that my mouth is watering, I think we'll have pizza tomorrow night.
Do you sprinkle corn meal on your pizza pan before you put the dough on it? Adds a neat crunch and reminds me of some northeast pizza I had many years ago.
Well, order him a Chuck E. Cheese pie. That’s not really pizza.
“I don’t like pizza,...”
‘No East Coast politician would say this.’
No TRUE American would say that!
Yes we do the cornmeal, but rather than a pan we use a pizza stone heated to 500 deg. Fah. If you can find one, I’m certain you’ll appreciate the outcome.
If you’d like, I have an all purpose bread machine recipe everybody I’ve sent it to loves. Makes 1-1/2 lb. loaf of bread, or up to 12 sandwich rolls. I make them a little large so I get ten per batch. Great for burgers, Tuna, Hot dogs, Ham ‘n Cheese, Pulled Pork...everything actually.
Would love the recipe for buns. I am a breadaholic. Make a loaf of buttermilk wheat every 4-5 days, cinnamon-raisin often and yeast rolls once a week or so. Need to make a sourdough starter, but it's hunting season and my time is short until the end of the month. ;-)
Here’s the Egg Bread Recipe.
Best All Purpose Bread Dough Recipe For Loaves and For Sandwich Buns.
For 1-1/2 lbs. Category of Bread, or Sandwich Buns/Rolls.
1 Pkg. (1/4 Oz.) Active Dry Yeast
3 Cups Bread Flour (All Purpose will work, not as well.)
2 TBSP. Sugar
3/4 tsp. Fine Sea Salt (Regular Table Salt is fine.)
2 TBSP Butter (I like to use a STRONG TBSP, like almost 2-1/4-2-1/2 TBSP total.)
1 Extra Large Egg, Broken Yoke, NOT scrambled.
1 Cup Tepid Water (Milk is called for most often, but I don’t like the resulting crumb.)
Use your new machine’s manual of recipe’s to determine in which order to load the materials to the Bread Bucket. I’ve listed the ingredients for the recipe in the order our 1992 WelBilt Bread Machine wants them loaded. (More than likely in the reverse order that I have posted here as the newer machines don’t usually have the built in *dough hook” the old ones like mine have.)
Set your machine for 1-1/2 lbs. and follow the instructions for making a finished loaf, or set the machine per instructions of the manual for making dough only.
For Dough only, when cycle is finished dump the dough onto a lightly floured bread board and roll into a log. Easiest to work with a log about 14” in length, but doesn’t matter as long as you make a log and cut it no matter the size into ten equal parts. Place the future buns on a greased Jelly Roll Pan, or as we do use a Teflon cooking pad, cover with a lint free towel and let rise for about 45 minutes above 75 deg. Fah. someplace without cat hair, or draft.
Just before you want to bake your rolls/buns set the oven to 400 deg. Fah, and when ready slip the bread rolls in to bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and place them individually on a cooling rack to cool. Once cool you may slice them first, then either use what you want and freeze the rest in freezer storage bags (5 fit nicely per bag), or freeze the lot of them for future use.
You can freeze the loaf of bread also after slicing it. One 1-1/2 lb loaf will fit into a conventional sized “freezer storage bag”.
*Whaddya mean “Dough Hook”? The old machines had screw-in dough hooks up the facing side of the bread buckets that would stay the dough as the beater in the bottom would turn, and knead the dough. The new machines have a “Uni-paddle” that does the work. No dough hooks. It’s cheaper to build the machines, and more people can afford them. The machining for the dough hooks raised the cost of manufacturing the old ones. The new method works fine. Just have to reverse the order you put the ingredients into the bucket. There are some newly manufactured units though that do have dough hooks in them, so you have to read a typical recipe from the manufacturer to see how the ingredients are instilled into the bucket to make the dough.
We’ve had our old Welbilt since 1992. Use it 4-5 times each month. It’s like that Rabbit with the drum, just keeps going and going LOL.
Reid’s just showing how far partisan politics extends. Papa Johns originated and is based in Louisville KY, Mitch McConnell’s home turf.
It reminds me of all the attempted “boycotts” of Dominoes launched by Libtards over the years because the founder of Dominoes is pro-life.
An afterthought unfortunately:
That “Bread Roll/Buns” recipe I grabbed from the file. It was originally written to a (not close) relative of the Leftist persuasion. (IOW a flaming idiot)
I apologize if it seems, as it does to me in retrospect “overly instructive”.
I should have rewritten it for an intelligent Conservative’s consumption, rather than have passed along that which I felt compelled to write towards an idiot Leftist intellect.
Again, sorry I didn’t properly edit that, and hope for your forgiveness.
You're right about the Welbuilt bread machine being a workhorse. I gave a Welbuilt to a friend who loves it. Made a mistake in buying a Breadman, but it has several features that are very handy.
Take care and thanks again. I'll give you a rating on the buns when I bake them.
Was there any doubt?
Hey! Funeral potatoes are awesome! But, anyone who doesn’t like pizza has got to be a commie.
Pizza is like sex. When it’s good, it’s really good, and when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.
I’ll bet Reid likes fund-raisers’ rubber chicken.
I'm not a big fan of Papa John's either, but what kind of person doesn't like pizza?
