Newest awesome thing
I've been making pizza about once a week for a few months now: homemade dough rolled out and coated with pesto, then topped with tomatoes and onions, freshly-shredded mozzarella. Pretty darn good.
The other night I had some dough left over so I decided to experiment by combining it with some other odds-and-ends in my fridge. Browned some ground beef with appropriate seasonings. Mixed the beef with ricotta cheese and some freshly-grated romano, put it all in the rolled out dough, added some left-over spaghetti sauce. then wrapped the dough up around it all and baked it for a while until golden brown. I dunno what it is... stromboli?... but it is damn good. Just made up a few of 'em to take to work for lunch. Relatively quick and versatile (ingredient-wise) too. Yum yum.

Could be a stromboli, or roll, or calzone...

Napoleon, if you're still experimenting, you could try bbq or ranch pizza. Just make the dough, add ranch or bbq sauce, and then chicken (after cooking). Really easy and really good

Here's a rough recipe:
1 cup warm water 1 Tbsp (or one packet) yeast 1 Tbsp sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp olive oil -Dissolve yeast and sugar into water (I whip it up good with a whisk). Let stand maybe 10 mins, until foamy. -Gradually mix in flour. Add olive oil and salt at some point as you go. -Kneed the dough for a minute or so. Don't over-work the dough or it'll get too tough. It should be soft and a little sticky. -Roll out the dough into desired shape and thickness. I use a rolling pin, but if you're talented enough maybe you could spin it on your finger and throw it in the air. I'm not that daring. -Add stuff to it, then bake 'til done. I'll bake at 400F for a pizza or 350F for something filled like stromboli/calzone,etc. It takes maybe 20 minutes, counting the 10 minutes for waiting on yeast.
