Every weekend we have pizza night because pizza is a recipe that we have just about perfected. It is usually Friday or Saturday evening to kick off the weekend together. I make pizza dough in the bread maker and my husband prepares the toppings (recipe for those of you lucky enough to own a bread maker):
1 1/2 lb loaf (1 medium/large pizza)
7-8 ounces of water
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
Here is a link to a pizza dough recipe for those of you not having a bread machine.
The bread maker will do the rest (our setting is 11, but this may differ by machine- use dough setting). Always put your dough in the fridge for about 1 hour before rolling and baking pizza. Dressing the pizza is the best part. Our 3 year old son always prefers a personal size pizza with plain crust with olive oil and parmesan cheese (bake for 3-5 minutes at 500F). My husband and I are a little more adventurous and choose from a variety of the following toppings: ground sausage, red peppers, hot pickles, chicken, bacon, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, pepperoni, tomato in olive oil, broccoli, cheese (mozza or goat) and of course, pizza sauce (unico is good). You can make your pizza with the toppings on top or underneath the cheese…bake for 7 minutes on a pizza stone in 500F oven. Brush crust with olive oil and sprinkle with parmasean cheese upon removal. Enjoy after letting it cool for about 5 minutes!
