Finally, I put Grover to work. He is responsible for the pizza pictured above. I followed the directions from here for the crust. I made my own sauce. I used sharp aged provolone and parmigiano reggiano cheese. The only topping I used was turkey pepperoni.
A note about the cheeses: I highly recommend spending a little extra money and buying good cheeses. It makes a huge difference in taste. I have found the best prices at Sam's Club and Costco. Per pound, this is the way to go. You might think you are buying more cheese than you need, but you don't have to use it all right away. When you get home, cut the cheese in half and freeze half.
I did not write down what all I put in my sauce, maybe I will post that recipe next time.
As far as what I thought about Grover's performance, I would say he gets a B. I have made better crusts using the other starter I posted. I think Grover lacked rise power. I have not given up on him yet though. He is currently resting in the refrigerator. I thought he might need a nap.
Looks good. A few veggie toppings would make it look better.
