perfect pizza - at last

I have always wanted to be the kind of person who, with no notice, could whip up a perfect pizza from scratch. I have struggled with pizza for some time and had pretty much given up.

Then I turned a corner.

And I cannot for the life of me tell you what made it happen, but I am now that person!!

Thank you Smitten Kitchen. You can't know how much this means.

P.S. Is it sacrilege to use cilantro in place of basil?
