HOMEMADE PIZZA

(sorry, my kids got to the pizza before I could take a picture)!

Making homemade pizza is so much fun!

It is a perfect way to get everyone involved with dinner!

This pizza that we made is Canadian Bacon, Pineapple and Shrimp.

Yes, Shrimp....I know it doesn't sound that great.

But trust me it is delicious!

I have 3 different pizza crust that I like to use:

Winco's Pizza dough

Sold by the cheese for $1-$2, one package is enough to make 3 large pizzas!
Dough is already made all you have to do is let it rest & form pizzas.

Jiffy Pizza dough mix

Sold at almost every store, Get it at Walmart for $.46 a box!
Again super easy, just mix hot water to mix let set for 5 minutes and get to kneading

Homemade Pizza dough

Very easy to make just takes a little more time
This is the recipe that I like to use, very fast and delicious!
Recipe will make 1 large pizza or 4 personal size

Homemade Pizza dough recipe:

Ingredients

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and start kneading flour into the dough until dough is not sticky.
Once dough is pliable, roll into a nice round ball.

3. Flatten dough to a nice round pizza crust of desired size. Or if you would like to make personal size pizzas cut dough into 4 equal parts.

4. Kids love this part! Let each kid form their own size pizza. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or a pan covered with foil (easy clean up)!

5. Pre-cook crust for 3-4 minutes. Take out of oven and let the fun begin!

6. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
