Homemade Pizza Night

Pizza:

Definitely a family favorite at our house.

Old days:  Papa Johns $25 AT LEAST on delivery

Then:  $4 -6 for a "good" frozen pizza

Now:  $2.15 for homemade

In the past we have tried the box dough (add water) but it tastes more like cardboard than pizza crust.  

I was perusing an Amish cookbook and found our new favorite,

TASTY pizza crust

1 cup warm water

4 1/2 tsp. (2 packages) active dry yeast

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. basil

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups flour, approx.

Combine water, yeast and sugar, let sit 5 minutes.

Add rest of ing. and mix into dough

Knead 5-7 minutes

Let rest 20 minutes

Bake for 7 minutes at 400

Take out and top with toppings and bake additional 8-12 minutes

I have my grandmother's mixing bowls.  

She was a FANTASTIC COOK!

Love remembering her warm, inviting kitchen when I cook
