It left the crew tired and very hungry at the end of the day so when someone suggested ordering a pizza, I knew it was time to spring into action. While everyone was arguing about the toppings and which restaurants had vegan options I went to the fridge and took out some of the dough I keep for just an occasion. The dough is very simple.
