And now for the celebration of Pi Day.
I decided to create a recipe inspired by Pi and a couple of recipes I found online.  Check out my recipe below, which I also made and enjoyed for the holiday.
(Pi)zza
Ingredients for crust
3 cups of flour
Point of yeast
1 warm cup of water
4 half tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
A.  Preheat the oven to four hundred and twenty five degrees.  Mix the yeast, water, and sugar in a bowl.  Allow it to sit for the first portion of an hour or until milky.
B.  Pour in the flour, olive oil, and a smidget of salt for good measure.  Whisk it all together.  Let sit for 5 minutes.
C.  Spread the dough out on to a greased pan and flatten in to a circle.  Grab your favorite sauce and spread out 9 spoonfuls on the dough along with any other toppings.
D.  Place the pizza in the oven for 2 minutes then 6 minutes then 5 minutes then 3 minutes then 5 more minutes until golden brown.
E.  Cut your pizza into 8 slices.
Now you have a pizza that I could eat for 9 lives and 7 days a week.
