Pizza Balls with Homemade Marinara Sauce

First serving...which led to the second (and third)

Nice homemade dough...makes everything taste better to make it from scratch.
Thawing out some of my own marinara sauce...
Such a sweet little bunch of fungi.
Green peppers - fresh from the market.
Some of the best pepperoni I've ever had. It's a little expensive, but the pepperoni in Korea is so much better than what I can get at the supermarket in Canada
I figured that the only way you can make a recipe like this better is to add an inordinate amount of roasted garlic - and I was right!
Fresh jalapeƱo peppers; a little spice for those who care...
All my ingredients, ready to roll!

I prepared WAY too many toppings (fillings?), which resulted in my having to make more dough after dinner, and prepare a bunch of calzones, which I will post when they are cooked, so you can see how delicious they look ;)
The first batch - pan-fried chicken breast with a touch of taco seasoning, roasted garlic, cheese, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions.
First batch ready to go in the oven (the dipped one has a pile of jalapeƱos in it, so it had to be distinguished from the others).
The second batch had pepperoni instead of chicken.
A bunch of balls waiting to go into the oven. Since it's a toaster oven, they had to wait a while...















I will definitely make these again!

Homemade Pizza!!

Toppings: Mozarella, roasted red peppers, white mushrooms, and pepperoni.
Doughs rolled out, ready for baking. Small size due to the fact that each one has to fit in the toaster oven. That wine bottle isn't for inspiration, by the way; that's my rolling pin!

This was my first attempt at making my own pizza dough from scratch. It worked better than I expected, and was easier to roll out than any prepared or premixed dough I've ever used.
 Frying a little chicken to vary the flavors a bit.
 That's homemade tomato sauce on the right; ever since I started making my own, I can't go back to the store-bought stuff.
Stage one: tomato sauce on the pre-baked crusts.
On goes the cheese...
Close-up.
Stage two: three pepperoni pizzas, and one chicken.
Mushrooms added for flavor and cool looks.
Close-up #2.
Finished products, complete with roasted red pepper, and sesame seeds on the chicken pizza.
 Close-up #3.
Tried to take a picture before we ate it, but it got snapped up too fast!

Delicious!!
