Pizza

Over the years I have enjoyed making pizza for all who I love. After experiencing pizza from all over the world, this is the best home-cook recipe that I have found. I hope that it brings your family as much joy as it brings mine.

Nothing better than making your own pizza!

Ingredients:

2 T- OLIVE OIL

1 T- YEAST

1 t- SALT

1.5 t- SUGAR

2 C- ALL PURPOSE FLOUR

1/2 C- SELF-RISING FLOUR

1 C- WATER

Instructions: 

1. Start by adding the water (warm), yeast, and sugar into your mixing bowl or bread machine. Let the yeast and sugar do their magic for 30 mins or so. 
2. After the yeast is bubbling, add all the remaining ingredients. Turn-on you bread machine or kneed/mix. 
3. Either let your machine do all the work, or punch down and kneed your pizza crust every 30 mins for 1.5 hours. It is worth it in the end, and you can save half in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. 
4. Roll out your crust and place on a pan in a 450 degree oven for about 5 mins to pre-cook.
5. Pull the crust out and flip it over
6. Add all you favorite toppings and return to the oven
7. About 5 mins prior to the pizza being fully cooked, removed the pan and allow the pizza to cook directly on the rack. This will crisp the crust, but beware is may drip and make a mess. consider placing the pan one rack under to catch the drippings. 
8. Once the pizza is cooked to you liking, pull it from the oven and enjoy. 

Tips:

• If you are using high moisture toppings consider pre-cooking/grilling to remove some of the moisture. i.e. pineapple, mushrooms, tomatoes. 
• After your pizza comes out of the oven place it on a cooling rack of a min or two. This will keep moisture from pulling back into the crust. Also, after cutting place the pizza back onto the cooking rack for serving.
