We LOVE Pizza!
It is cheap and easy to make at home.
All you need is flour, water, salt, yeast and oil.
(And 20 minutes *wink*)
We find pizza to be a fantastic way of using up leftovers.
It also makes quick enough for those days when I need a supper that is ready fast
and will still satisfy my picky eaters. I'm lookin' at you Mav!

Here is how we make it:
Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp (heaped) quick rise yeast
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder (typically I just give the spice jar a couple of shakes)
2/3 cup hot tap water
3 Tbsp oil (olive oil is nice but any oil will do)
3/4 cup to 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
How To
1. Mix all ingredients (omitting last ingredient of flour) in a large bowl.
2. Knead in 3/4 cup of flour to the dough. If dough sticks to bowl add another 1/4 cup of flour. Continue kneading in flour 1/4 cup at a time as needed (More or less flour is needed based on the humidity of your home. Use what works best for you. *smile*) until a soft ball forms. Knead for an additional 4 minutes.
3. Prepare a baking sheet for the pizza crust. Line the sheet with either parchment paper, a reusable silicone liner or coat with oil then flour.
4. Press dough into a large oval and place on sheet. Slowly work the dough to the edges of the baking sheet. For a thin crust pizza (our fav!) use crust immediately. If you prefer a thicker softer crust simply allow the crust to sit for 30 minutes to one hour before adding toppings.
5. Top with any pizza toppings you like. We use 1/4 cup of pasta sauce, shredded cheese, meat (most often leftovers) and vegetables we have on hand.
6. Bake at 425F for 15 minutes.
Yum, Yum!
Enjoy!!!
