Homemade Pizza!

Homemade Pizza!

I know...even my husband mentioned it.  If you watch your sales and special deals you can go pick up a pizza for about $5 for a cheese or $10 for several toppings.  So what is the point of making your own pizza?

Well we did have some fun and it was just the two of us. You can fix the toppings and the quantity of servings to your size.  We had ham an onion on about 3/4 of the pizza and the rest was pepperoni.  Typically when ordering you have to do the toppings in 1/2 this or 1/2 that.

Sometime it is snowing....and you don't want to go out.  Other times you might be lazy or not have a real good dinner idea.  This is cheap and if you always reember to have pizza sauce on the pantry shelf and some shredded mozzarella in the freezer...you and make one in minutes.

Dough Recipe

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

1 1/2 cups warm water

Mix these first three ingredients together and lightly cover with a lid or put another bowl over it making a cap.  This should start to foam and "proof" and will be ready in 15  minutes.

Add

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons oil

3 cups all-purpose flour

Stir with a wooden spoon by hand.  Dump onto a floured dough board and roll in another bit of flour.  Let the dough stand for a few moment with a bowl over the top to help it rise for a second while you get your toppings.

All of us have onions, you might have leftover ham, canned black olives, canned tomatoes, canned mushrooms.  Add the mozzarella last and baked in a heated 400 degree over for just a few moments.  maybe 15 max.  Enjoy!
