Friday night in FTW!

I love Friday night.  I learned from a very young age that the most important mathematical equation in life is as follows:

Night in + Pizza + Film = Friday Night FTW!

Homemade pizza is a thing of beauty.  You can get the crust as thin as you want, artichoke hearts can feature heavily and you can space the meat out so perfectly you don't have to fight over the best pieces. 

The dough recipe I follow is Delia's basic dough which can be found here.  We love our pizza to be really thin so I halve the recipe, or make dough balls when I let myself eat them; the former happened tonight.  I also substitute honey for the caster sugar, it seems to make a lighter dough.

Sadly I am lacking in n'duja pork to make a seriously good pizza sauce, so tonight it's a simple no-cook sauce that's been sitting in a bowl all day allowing the flavours to mix.  Toppings are half fat mozzarella (stupid diet), Mangalica Hungarian Paprika Sausage and jalapenos.  A rocket, parmesan and balsamic glaze salad on the side and we're ready to go!

It works out to be 20 ProPoints; I'm allowed 28 a day so this does eat into my weekly allowance slightly, but I had a 0 point soup for lunch in anticipation.

NOM.  I wonder if Cowboys & Aliens is going to be as good as the pizza?
