The pizza really became the basis for discussions about philosophy, values, and life in general. The event was a stepping stone for an evening of jokes and arguments about what was important in our lives. I started making pizza from scratch about 14 years ago. My best efforts always involved other people and young people in particular. As I directed them in pizza making, they were incredulous.
Kids love the art of turning raw ingredients into a finished product.
After several pizza adventures, I began to understand what my father had been doing all those years ago. Making pizza is not only a wonderful meal, but there is magic with each step of the process. Mixing ingredients, kneading the dough, creating the pizza and baking, is a great activity. When you make pizza, you will also be touched by the magic of transforming dough, tomatoes, and cheese into a memorable event. However you decide to make your pizza, you will be pleased with your final product and the road you took to get there.
