Pizza

I am a major pizza lover. I could eat pizza everyday for the rest of my life and never get sick of it. This recipe is one I modified from my FACS class in 8th grade. I only made two toppings but you can use as many or as few as you desire. This pizza is without a doubt delicious and well worth the effort you put into it. 

DOUGH:

Ingredients:

-2 cups flour

-1 pkg yeast

-2 T olive oil

-1 tsp salt

-2 tsp white sugar

-1 cup warm water

-dash garlic powder

-about 1 T butter

Directions:

In a small bowl dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, oil, salt, sugar, and the yeast mixture. Cover and let sit in a warm area for 30 min.

    Preheat the oven to 350F. Knead and roll out dough on a well floured surface. Roll onto a greased pizza pan or cookie sheet in a circle. Melt butter and add garlic powder then spread over the crust of the pizza and set aside.

SAUCE:

Ingredients:

-1 small can (8oz) tomato sauce

-1/4 tsp oregano

-1/4 tsp garlic powder

-1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and spread evenly across pizza. 

CHEESE:

Ingredients:

-2 cups mozzarella 

-2 slices provolone 

Directions:

Spread mozzarella evenly over pizza and tear provolone into pieces and spread over pizza ( I added the provolone on top of the toppings to bind it all together).

TOPPINGS:

Ingredients:

Whatever you want!

I used pepperoni and Italian sausage.

Directions:

Depends on what your making

Pepperoni:

place in between two paper towels and microwave for about 30 sec to prevent gross amounts of grease on your pizza. Then spread evenly over pizza. 

Sausage and/or vegetables:

Fry in skillet, chopping into small chunks with spatula while cooking. (For veggies, chop/dice before frying) Drain grease in colander and spread over pizza.

BAKE!!

Bake on low rack in oven for 25-30 min until crust is fully cooked and cheese is fully melted. Cut into slices and cool before eating. Enjoy!!
