Homemade Pizza

Tonight the Mitchell Clan decided that it would be homemade pizza night. My crust recipe is similar to most.

3 cups of flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
3 tsp yeast
1 cup water (125 degrees)
1oz of papa johns garlic sauce
2 tbsp of vegetable oil

Throw all your ingredients together and knead. I use stand mixer with a bread knead tool. This crust recipe will roll-out two 14inch thin crusts.

For the sauce we use simple tomato paste. For the kids pizza we would not add any seasoning- however I suggest oregano, pepper flakes, minced basil leaves, and cracked pepper.

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees.

Add your toppings- the crust will be pretty hearty- however if you add to much cheese and toppings your crust will be soft. You may want to pre-cook your crust.
