Homemade pizza is so yummy! And really, very easy. My kids always ask to help, so today we made a community-effort dinner!
I use the Betty Crocker recipe for pizza dough for quick pizza. It's a simple one (water, yeast, flour, oil, salt). I used mostly whole wheat flour today. It's more nutritious and it's also more filling (read: crazy appetites of growing kids!). I still have a few jars of homemade spaghetti sauce left from last summer's garden, so we used that for sauce.
On this recipe, you mix the ingredients and let it rest for 20 minutes. Then you're ready to start rolling!
The kids rolled out the dough, with a little help. They elected to curl their crusts back over so they could have "pizza bones". I also oiled the baking sheets and sprinkled them with cornmeal to keep the dough from sticking. Then, the crusts went in the oven for 10 minutes at 425.
They each spread the sauce out on the pre-baked crust...
And sprinkled on the cheese. My kids are boring in the pizza category, they just want cheese! We did serve veggies with the pizza tonight, but what they didn't know is the sauce is packed with garden veggies. (Sneaky Mommy!) Now, back in the oven for about 10 minutes...
And VOILA! Individual pizzas! The kids are impressed because they "cooked" and it made dinner fun!
HAPPY FRIDAY!
