We have been craving pizza for a while so we finally decided to make our own. This recipe is so easy and quick. We think it tastes better than the take out stuff. It is definitely cheaper if you have the ingredients on hand already. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Ingredients for dough:
1 cup very warm water
1 packet of quickrise yeast
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 1/2 cups flour
In a medium size bowl dissolve sugar in warm water. Pour yeast packet into bowl and let it dissolve on top. If there are lumps after a few seconds its o.k. to mix them in. After that is mixed well, add salt and oil. Add flour gradually until it becomes a soft dough. I like to knead the last 1/2 cup into the dough. Then cover the bowl with a cloth and set on stovetop for 15 minutes to rise. After its risen for 15 minutes, roll out the dough and place on pizza sheet. Spread on sauce (we use 8 oz. can tomato sauce with salt, a little sugar, garlic, and italian seasonings), toppings and cheese and bake on bottom rack of oven for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy!
