Pizza Dough

Pizza is one of those things growing up that I absolutely adored. Some of my fondest memories is making tortilla pizza's for our birthdays, eating at Anthony's Pizza on post. If you have never had a tortilla pizza you are totally missing out on that. These aren't tortilla pizza's though these are genuine made from scratch pizza dough- the recipe is super super easy. At least so far... I figured that while I am waiting for the dough to rise I would start on this post.
Since pizza is one of my fondest food memories, I am wondering what is your favorite food memory?
The dough was delicious, and so was the pizza! :)

I got this recipe from The Tasty Kitchen:
  • Prep Time 
  • Cook Time    12-15 minutes
  • 1 package Quick-rise Dry Yeast
  • 1 cup Warm Water, Bath Water Temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
In the bowl of a food processor or electric mixer, dissolve the yeast in the water and let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the salt, flour, and the olive oil and mix until the dough forms a ball.
1 hour later....
Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with flour or cornmeal and knead briefly until smooth.
Lightly oil a medium-size mixing bowl and turn the dough in the bowl to coat. Cover with a damp dish towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. 
Once dough has risen, knead the heck out of it, roll it out & viola! Pizza dough.
Cover with your favorite toppings and bake til golden brown at 375 degrees.
We Used pepperoni, pineapple and mushrooms. 








Our Pizza's!


Enjoy!
