Homemade Pizza

Kayla has become quite the culinary student lately. She is loving the fact that she can cook. I am amazed at her curiosity and her love for learning.
One of her favorite things to fix is homemade pizza.

It is very easy to make and fun when the whole family gets involved. We have made cheese pizzas, ham and pineapple, and of course an all meat pizza for my meat lovin’ man. Here is my pizza recipe:

Pizza Crust

1/4 cup oil
1 Tablespoon sugar or honey
2 teas. salt
4 cups flour
1 1/3 cup warm water
1 Tablespoon yeast
Mix for several minutes in mixer using dough hook, then let dough rest for 20 minutes.
Divide dough in 2 and roll out on pans. Prebake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. You
can then use the crusts or freeze once they are cool. To use, spread with toppings and
bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Pizza Sauce

8 oz. Can tomato sauce
1 teas. sugar
1/2 teas. basil
1/4 teas. oregano
1/4 teas. garlic powder
1 teas. onion powder
1 Tablespoon olive oil for flavoring
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and use to cover one pizza crust. You can double
this recipe if you are making two large pizzas.
For dessert, we had cupcakes! Kayla decorated these…she loves pumpkins!
