Pizza night!

Since our “vacation” ended on Sunday, we are getting back to our normal routine. Saving, saving and more saving. Pizza Fridays are one of the main things. Well….homemade pizza that is. I have been taking a break and we have been eating out and ordering pizza instead. It was a nice break but I have to be honest, I love making homemade stuff. It just tastes different and better, in my opinion. I had been experimenting with recipes for pizza and its been OK. But, I finally found my old recipe that I used to make in California. I used it tonight and was so thankful to be able to find it again. I absolutely love it and am going to share the recipe with you all.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 tsp (1 (.25 ounce) pack) Active dry yeast

1 tsp White sugar

1 cup Warm water

2 1/2 cups White flour

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Garlic powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

In medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it stand till creamy, about 10 minutes

Stir in flour, salt, garlic powder and oil. Beat until smooth. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan. Put in preheated oven for 10 minutes to get the bottom crust cooked a little bit.  Take out and put on your sauce and toppings. Bake in preheated oven for 10-20 more minutes until golden brown. Let pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Yummy!!

Enjoy and live simple
