Celery Pizza

Well I almost got through a day without creating a mess of flour in the kitchen.
Me and flour just don't get along, from the time I take the cover off the old pantry moth flour resistent container and make a pizza and get flour, flour everywhere.
You don't need a brick oven or even a pizza stone to make a decent pie.
What you need is patience. Let the dough rise slowly and you will be rewarded.
That said,
Celery pizza sounds weird but it's good, celery somehow goes with tomato sauce.
I'm not going to tell you how to make pizza dough here, use your favorite dough.
Celery is almost all water and it has stringy things running from stem to stern. Peel the strings from the celery and chop into a fairly small dice.
Top your dough with your favorite pizza sauce then with sliced pepperoni and some shredded mozzarella, provolone and grated Parmesan cheeses.
Spread this celery on your pizza and bake in a very hot oven til done.

And I'll let you in on a secret ingredient. Garlic butter,
after taking the pizza out of the oven and before cutting it pour or drizzle
a bit of garlic butter around the crust edge, it's so good.
I learned this trick from the owner of a pizza place years ago.
I hope you try this celery pizza.

Ha! You are right; celery on pizza does sound weird. That is what I thought to myself a couple of years ago when it was suggested that I try a celery pizza (w/ sausage on it as well.) Now I crave it like mad! It's one of my favorite pizza's ever. But I need to go to Trevi, It. to enjoy it.
