After cooking lentil soup on Thursday, our class met back at the UW Farm for the oven firing and pizza baking. We had previously prepared our pizza dough, so now all was left was to add the toppings and stick them in the oven. On my pizza I put pesto (the homemade pesto we cooked in class last week!), tomatoes, onions, tomato sauce, and a blend of Italian cheeses. We then handed our pizzas over to Keith, who played pizza chef for a day, and perfectly cooked all of our pizzas for us, each one taking about 5 or 6 minutes. I was shocked to see how fast the pizzas took, and also very pleased. My pizza was delicious, I ate it almost as fast as the lentil soup earlier in the day.
I was very honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of the first day of firing of the farm oven. The experience made me feel connected to the campus, like I had taken a small part in something that was going to expand and grow into a larger production at UW.
