Pizza!

I made pizza last night and it was SOOO yummy. Much better than any delivery pizza and just a little more difficult than dialing to order one! You'll be able to tell by the pictures, they're pretty funny. The great thing about it is, you can put anything you want on it! I can't wait to experiment some more. Enjoy!

Crust:

1 package dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water

1 teaspoon sugar

3/4 salt

1 egg

1 1/2 teaspoon oil (I used vegetable but you could use evoo, I was just out)

2 1/4 cups flour

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine yeast and water in a bowl and stir.

2) Add the next 4 ingredients, beating the egg until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

3) Add flour and stir until it forms into a dough ball, then knead. It's probably going to be a little dry so you can add a few splashes of milk until it's wet enough.

4) Cover and let sit for 45 mins - 1 hour. *Note: the longer you let it sit, the thicker the crust will be. Also, if you sit it on top of your stove as it's pre-heating, it helps it rise.*

5) After it's finished rising, get it out of the bowl to prepare to roll it out. If it's too sticky as you're getting it out of the bowl, sprinkle some flour on it to make it more manageable. Dust cookie sheet/pizza stone that you're using with flour. Roll out into the desired size.

6) Add toppings:

*Best sauce ever

*Anything you want! I used:

* Sauteed green pepper and red onion

*Pepperoni (Turkey pepperoni is just as good as the real thing!)

*Mozzerella cheese

7) Bake at 450 until cheese is melted and crust is done, anywhere from 20-45 minutes, depending on the crust.
