Girl A: “You are not allowed to buy bread!”
Girl B: “Why not?”
Girl A: “You have a bread maker!!”
I have a bread maker too. I “borrowed” it from my Mom last year and have used it non-stop ever since. It is from the ‘90s so it doesn’t have any crazy settings, but it can make a loaf of bread in 3 hours or mix up some dough in an hour and 15 minutes. I love the dough setting because you can shape the bread into whatever you like (buns, dinner rolls), or even make things other than bread (cinnamon rolls, pretzels, pizza dough). Yesterday it was all about the pizza dough!
Pizza dough is as easy as it gets when it comes to dough - it only has five ingredients - flour, oil, water, salt, and yeast.
I put all the ingredients in the bread maker pot and let the magic begin.
Ta-dah! Only an hour and 15 minutes later and I had my very own home made pizza dough!
Next, I spread the dough onto an oiled pan. I don't have a pizza pan so I used a rectangular baking sheet which makes an awesome version of a 'party pizza'.
My favorite part of home made pizza is the toppings. You can add as much or as little as you want, so you are only limited by your tastes and what you have on hand. There was a lot on hand today and I have a habit of going a little overboard when it comes to topping a pizza. I end up with a deep dish pizza without it being an actual deep dish pizza!
On hand toppings: pizza sauce, onions, broccoli, jalapenos, olives,
roast chicken (leftovers!), zucchini, mushrooms, spinach
And don’t forget the cheeses!
Parmesan and Mozzarella
The recipe says the pizza should bake for 25-30 minutes, but this pizza was so overloaded with toppings that we had to cook it for 40 minutes!
Believe me, it was worth the wait!
Home Made Pizza = Mega Yum!!
