Pulled pork pizza

You know what’s good on pizza? PULLED PORK!

We’ve been making a ton of pulled pork in our slow cooker since we got it last year. It’s AMAZING and easy – it pretty much makes itself while we’re busy working, and it makes the house smell delicious.

A couple months ago we made a pretty delicious pizza from scratch, and I’m just getting to post about it now. Below are a couple photos.

We got the crust recipe off of Big Oven (love that site, thanks to RKG1 for posting the recipe below)

crispy and delicious vegan bread

An inherited bread maker has been sitting gathering dust in  our storage area for longer than I’d like to admit. I tried once about a year ago to make bread but it was not as successful as I’d like to report. The first batch, although I followed the recipe exactly ended up expanding so much that it forced the top right off the bread machine. I salvaged the dough (which was actually excellent) and made some killer buns with it, but it wasn’t the overall bread experience I was looking for.

This time around I tried a french bread, cut down on the yeast and used the bread maker to help mix the dough, but baked it in the oven (only half cheating). The loaves were beautiful and tasty. I changed the recipe slightly from the book and excluded the egg wash to make vegan loaves so I could share it with my coworkers at the office. I’ll post up the receipe for anyone who has a bread maker soon.
