What's For Dinner Wednesday's?? (Friday this Week)

I wanted to share a recipe that I love and haven't made for awhile and just made tonight. HOMEMADE PIZZA- YUM! YUM! It is with a Garlic Pizza Crust. It is a great Friday night treat and much cheaper than take-out or delivery.

2 pkg. yeast (I use 2 Tblsp. of bulk yeast)

2 C. tempid water (90')

2 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 C. Oil

1 tsp. salt

5 1/2-6 C. flour

3 cloves crushed garlic

Dissolve yeast in water and add sugar..wait a few minutes..add oil and salt and garlic. Mix in 3 cups flour and whip about 10 min. till it leaves the side of the mixer bowl. Add reamaining flour with dough hook or by hand. Knead till smooth. Allow to rise twice in the bowl and punch down. (This can be rushed a bit) oil baking sheets and use finger press out to edges.

Makes 2 pizzas, cookie sheet size. Let rise a bit and top with favorite topings. Bake at 425' for about 20 minutes.

The above picture is what Anastasia made from one of the doughs. She rolled out the crust in an oval shape and then topped with toppings on the inner part. Starting about 2.5inches down she started cutting the dough in one inch strips from the outer edge to her sauce and continued doing this on both sides leaving another 2.5 inches on the bottom. Next she took two strips at the top and criss-crosssed them working her way down. Then for the top and the bottom she rolled each up and then tucked under the "wings". It turned out great!

You can make 12 snack size by forming dough in a pie pan, top with toppings and bake then freeze in zip lock bags.

I am going to try this week to make the dough and freeze in two balls it then thaw and use and see how that works. If it works well than I will make them for next month's swap.

Happy Cooking!
