Herman Cain and Pizza Recipe

We will continue to have posts on culinary tea stuff on Saturdays. We thought it could be in order to have a pizza recipe now when Herman Cain, former President of Godfather’s Pizza, has formally announced his presidential candidacy. The recipe is taken from Martin Lindeskog’s post, Pizza Slize, on EGO blog:
