Many of the ingredients for pizza pies are grown right on the farm, such as oregano, sweet and holy basil, sweet and hot peppers, and onions. The other ingredients, wheat flour, yeast, cheese and such are purchased locally. When the rainy season ends tomatoes are also grown on the farm.
The day starts by preparing the pizza pie crusts. Water, wheat and yeast are mixed into dough and left to rise. While the dough is rising, we go and pick the fresh herbs and vegetables for the toppings.

It only takes about one or two minutes to cook the pizzas. On this night we made 45 personal-sized pizzas. Yummy.
