<br />Did you know that, at Tulsa's <a href="http://www.pieholepizzeria.com/">Pie Hole Pizzeria on Cherry Street</a>, any pizza lover can purchase dough enough for a large pizza for just $3?<br /><br /><a name='more'></a>And that just up the street at 6th Street and Peoria Avenue at Centennial Park on Thursday afternoons there's a wealth of pizza toppings available at <a href="http://pearlfarmersmarket.org/">The Pearl Farmers' Market</a>?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799271249/" title="Pearl Farmers Market by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pearl Farmers Market" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4799271249_b65dab0f87.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />It's true. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799271339/" title="Pearl Farmers Market by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pearl Farmers Market" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4799271339_63eccffec7_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />What I like to do: Have people over, crank up my oven to 525 degrees and pop in a pizza made with Pie Hole Pizzeria crust. When people ask me how I can produce something so delicious, I put on my Sarah Palin accent and say, "That's my little secret, you silly man, you." <br /><br />And I smile inside. And then I make a note to e-mail my dinner guests after they've all returned home to let them know they can get the same delicious pizza crust at Pie Hole. For three freaking bones. <br /><br />And that I'm sorry I'm a liar. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799270127/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4799270127_081a25d582_b.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br />While it's hard to fail with one of these pizza crusts and a reusable sack full of goodies from the Pearl Farmers' Market on a Thursday night, I hope you won't mind my offering my own recipe for success. And I won't even leave out steps or important ingredients in an effort to thwart your success and prove my supreme pizza prowess.<br /><br />Because that would be wrong. And naughty. And I am never, ever either of those things.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799903538/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4799903538_721d25775c_b.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br />First, ask a baby to toss your pizza dough. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799903470/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4799903470_4541131cee_b.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br />It adds flavor. Or something. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799903394/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4799903394_4f81900da2_b.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><br />Here's an instructional video on pizza tossing technique to help you: <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1LRDXbOypis&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1LRDXbOypis&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799903686/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4082/4799903686_854eaca6a3_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Slap that tossed pizza dough on a baking stone. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799270635/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4799270635_09f7de3fcc_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Lord knows it doesn't have to be pretty. It just has to be delicious. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799903604/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4799903604_e939f725fc_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799271185/" title="Pearl Farmers Market by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pearl Farmers Market" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4799271185_f5ca5a7b09_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Next, grab your favorite tomatoes. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799904266/" title="Pearl Farmers Market by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pearl Farmers Market" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4799904266_9f96218f72_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />These are fun. Their flavor is strong and plus, they're freaking gorgeous. Slice 'em up and sneak one for yourself.<br /><br />Playfully slap your husband's hand when he tries to do the same. Then wink at him so he won't complain as much about having to take out the trash later.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799271339/" title="Pearl Farmers Market by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pearl Farmers Market" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4799271339_63eccffec7_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Roll up some basil leaves and slice them into ribbons. Look at you! You just pulled out a mean chiffonade. Fancy.<br /><br />Brush the crust with a good-quality olive oil. Add mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil, and top it all with, surprise, a little more mozzarella cheese. <br /><br />Then, pop it all into a 525-degree oven. Wait for 8 minutes or so. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799904132/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4799904132_827dcf3a57_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Then, slice and enjoy. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4799270833/" title="Pie Hole Pizzeria by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Pie Hole Pizzeria" height="425" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4142/4799270833_b6aaa6720e_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />And be thankful for a fresh, easy supper that couldn't get more local, more Tulsa, if it tried.
