PJ...I love old recipes and their history. You really dug up some great pizza nostalgia! Can't wait to read more. I grew up on Long Island, NY and my Italian grandfather grew wonderful tomatoes and fresh basil in his garden. On Sunday nights, we would make homemade pizza dough (flour and yeast) and top it with fresh tomato sauce, basil and fresh mozzarella from the Italian shop down the street. We used half sheet pans to make our "Sicilian" style pizza. Grandpa would always say cook a few more minutes" to make a crispy crust. I now make my pizza dough in my food processor in 5 minutes and produce a delicious crust I use either for thin crust or Sicilian style pizza. King Arthur Flour is always the best! I sure do miss the family gatherings and the delicious food that was made in our kitchen. Thanks for the memories PJ.
