Family Favorite Friday: Homemade Pizza

We love pizza at our house and while I love a run to Little Caesar's or calling Domino's, sometimes it's fun to make your own.

Printable Recipe
~1 large pizza or 6 small

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 T yeast
• 2 T vegetable oil
• 2 T sugar
• 1 t Italian seasoning
• 1 t salt
• 2 1/3-3 cups flour

Cooking Directions

1. Stir sugar into water, add yeast and proof for 10 minutes.
2. Stir in salt, seasoning and oil.
3. Add about 2 cups flour and mix, forming a small ball.
4. Add flour as needed and knead until smooth and elastic--about 10 minutes. (I put it in my mixer with a dough hook.)
5. Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled--about 45 minutes.
6. Roll it out and top with sauce, cheeses and toppings.
7. It will make 1 normal size pizza or about 6 smaller ones.
8. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Holly's Note:
My boys like making their own individual pizzas. You can also do calzones instead of pizzas. Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
