Homemade Pizza

Yes, tonight for dinner we had homemade pizza. I found the dough and sauce recipe on-line. It turned out pretty good. I'm afraid of yeast, so I get nervous when I make something with it. I'm getting pretty good at it though. I need to work on keeping my dough thick. I tend to roll everything out too thin. The ends of the pizza hung over the side, so I filled the ends with lots of mozzarella cheese and turned the dough over and had stuffed ends!!!

Pizza Dough:

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F

3. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape. Cover with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Pizza Sauce

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tsp ground oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
½ tsp basil
¼ black pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, Mix together tomato sauce and tomato paste until smooth. Stir in all the other ingredients

I also threw in Italian seasoning.

I used a ton of mozzarella cheese and some grated parmesan too. I had the mini pepperonis. Eddie loves it!!!
