The ingredients to make a successful indoor picnic:
- At the grocery store, buy the ingredients for homemade pizza dough (see below) + a bottle of wine
- Cook pizzas together – a couple that cooks together, works together! {Rob’s personal favorite quote}
- Move any coffee tables out of the living room & lay a picnic blanket on the floor
- Gather all candles from around the house and light them around the picnic area
- Put on Frank Sinatra Pandora radio station (mood music per your discretion:))
- Turn off lights and let the candles illuminate your romantic indoor picnic!
- After wine & pizzas, you can also play cards by candlelight & continue to enjoy each others company at your indoor pic-a-nic!
Rob’s recipe for homemade pizza dough:
{3 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp sugar, 1 pkt active dry yeast, 2 tsp kosher salt, 1 1/2 cups water (110 degrees), 2 tbsp olive oil}
- Combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt in bowl. While mixer is running, add water and oil. Beat until ball forms.
- Remove from bowl. Knead lightly into ball.
- Oil inside of clean bowl. Place ball inside and cover. Let sit for 1 hour.
- When breaking dough into pieces to knead flat, keep the remaining dough covered in bowl with a moist towel.
- Add toppings, like mozzarella & ricotta cheese, pepperoni, onions, peppers, mushroom, sauce, tomatoes – go crazy!
- Bake individual pizzas at 425 degrees for approx. 12 minutes
Total: Pizza ingredients + wine = $20!
