Food on Friday: Homemade Pizza


Pizza
Pizza Crust (see recipe below)
Pizza sauce
Toppings (veges/ ham/ sausage/ pepperoni)
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese

Once the pizza crust (recipe below) is done and spread out on your greased pizza pan (or stone), put toppings on and then bakes at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Homemade Pizza Crust

Use your bread machine to mix up and knead the dough. Place the following ingredients into the bread machine in order:

1 cup warm water 1 1/2 cups white flour
1 tsp. salt 1 cup wheat flour
1 tsp. sugar 2 tsp. yeast
2 Tbs. Olive Oil

Let the bread machine mix the dough and knead it (using the dough cycle). Let it mix and knead until the dough looks good and then stop the machine, take the dough out, and spread it on a greased pizza pan or stone.
**If you are mixing by hand, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

I made this today for the first time for our family and we were all so pleased. My son will always eat pizza, so that did not surprise me. What did surprise me is how big the pizza was. We couldn't eat it all. We were pleasantly stuffed, and I loved that this recipe used wheat flour in the crust as well as white flour. I will definitely be making this one again. One thing that I would like to add is a little trick I learned when I worked at Chuck E. Cheeses back in High School: Melt 2 Tbs. butter in the microwave and stir in about 1/8 tsp. garlic powder. Use your baster to coat the outside crust once you take it out of the oven. Also, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning or pizza seasoning over the entire pizza.

ENJOY!!
