Here’s my secret to a perfect pizza:

1.  First you need a willing, happy and joyful helper… 

2.  Then toss together some delicious, hand-kneaded pizza dough…

3.  Mix up some tomato sauce with lots of garlic, oregano, and basil…

4.  Prepare your toppings…

(Be sure to take a sample, to ensure quality!)

5.  Spread that sauce, nice and thick…

6.  Add some more spices (just cause it’s so fun to shake that bottle)…

7.  Sprinkle on your toppings…

8.  Don’t forget some cheese (preferably in more than one spot, though)…

9.  Bake and enjoy! 

You’ll know you’ve done it right if your little helper looks at you during dinner, mouth full of pizza, and says, “Can we do it again?”
