Pizza Pizza Pizza

The dough can make or break the pizza. But it does not need to be homemade! We love the pre-made dough from Trader Joe’s and Harmons. If you are feeling like making your own, here is our family favorite recipe.

1 c. warm water

1 T. yeast

1 tsp. sugar

2½ c. flour

1 tsp. salt

2 T. oil

Mix warm water, yeast and sugar in medium-size bowl. Add flour, salt, and oil. Mix with hands, or spoon, until blended. Let rise 1½ hours (I sometimes use it much sooner!). Roll out, add toppings and bake. Probably makes enough for 3  large pizzas.**Note**: When I use my pizza stones in the oven, I heat the stones at 550° for 1 hour, then turn it down to 350° when I put the pizzas in.

Okay, now on to my favorite part, the toppings!
