    If you choose to make a bread-type pizza dough, please prep the dough ahead of our 10 am session as it needs one to two hours to rise.  If you want to try the cauliflower crust, you need a bit of lead time to pre-bake the cauliflower bits.   You can also skip the pizza crust preparation if you wish: -buy some fresh or frozen pizza dough from the store and let it rise at home -use pita bread or English muffins as the base -slice a loaf of French bread lengthwise and make “boat style pizza”   You are welcome to use any tomato sauce of your choice.  I often use jarred spaghetti sauce or tomato paste mixed with some fresh/dried herbs.  If you have a blender or food processor, you can make a yummy sauce: “Blitz”  one 28-oz. can of whole tomatoes with 2 garlic cloves, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt to make about 3 ½ cups of sauce. If you prefer, feel free to use a white sauce.   Feel free to use whatever cheese you have available with an...
