Friday pizza night

Our family tradition is to have Friday pizza nights. It’s like a celebration for making it through the workweek. Yes, I do not go to a corporate job but I am always on call 24/7 so we all get to celebrate our work week 😉  so Friday I decided to make a pineapple, broccoli and red bell pepper pizza. Holy cow it was amazing! 

I used my pizza recipe that I posted on my blog. For the toppings I pre cooked them on the stove until they were just barely cooked. I added about a Tbsp of olive oil to add some healthy fats in there. 

  

I have to say, if your are looking to make some yummy, easy and simple pizza this is perfect! Our family loves this pizza recipe and sometimes we make it more than once a week. This is the end products and I wish I made more, maybe tomorrow……ha ha 

  

Enjoy and live simple!

It’s pizza time!

This is the easiest and yummiest pizza recipe I have made so far! I absolutely love making homemade pizza from scratch and I have different toppings every time! This is a must make recipe 😃

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups hot water

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp yeast (freischmann’s active dry yeast) 

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp granulated garlic

4 cups all purpose flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine water, sugar and yeast into mixing bowl. I have found that the best way to have a no fail yeast rising is to warm up the bowl you are going to put it in first. I put really hot water in the bowl and let it sit for a minute, dump it out and then add the ingredients. Let it rise for about 5-10 minutes.

 

yeast mixture after 5 minutes
 
Add salt, garlic and flour and mix well. Dough sound not be super sticky. 

I put 1/2 cup flour on a dry and clean surface and roll out into whatever shape you are making your pizza. Today we did a rectangle pan pizza. We do circle, rectangle and hearts normally.

Place dough in a greased pan. I use the Kirkland brand of Pam.

Put on ingredients. I used semi cooked broccoli and onions today. I normally use what we have on hand to save money. 

Place pizza in preheated oven at 425 degrees. I cook the pizza on the second rack from the bottom for 20 minutes and the. I put it on the top rack for 7 more minutes. 

Take it out, cut it up and enjoy!

   
 This really is such a yummy pizza it’s hard to just eat two pieces! 

From start to finish it took me a little less than one hour. 
Enjoy and live simple!
