1 c water
3/4 t honey
1 1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t extra virgin olive oil
2 2/3 c bread flour (I get mine in the bulk food section at Winco)
1/2 c plus 1 T whole wheat flour (again bulk food section is cheaper)

Place all ingredients, in order listed, in the bread pan. Cook on dough program.
Pizza must haves:
-turkey pepperoni: thank you for guilt free pepperoni pizza!
-grilled chicken
-tomatoes, bell peppers, olives
-bbq chicken pizza: top the pizza with bbq sauce instead of pizza sauce and coat the chicken in bbq sauce
-baking stone: love my Pampered Chef one!
-soy mozzarella cheese from Trader Joe’s: by far the best soy cheese I have found!
-pizza cutter: mine is Martha Stewart but I am also highly impressed with the Pampered Chef one
*My bread machine is made by Cuisinart and was received as a wedding gift. I believe they said they got it at Costco. I make bread in it a few times a year…not a lot (and it comes with a ton of recipes). But the amount of pizza dough I make makes it well worth the purchase. I probably make pizza at least once a month if not more. It is also nice to be able to decide to make pizza or bread on a whim (and not have to go to the store) when I keep all the ingredients in stock and we always have some form of tomato or sauce to whip up a pizza. The pizza dough recipe is also great for breadsticks, pigs in a blanket, and any other dough recipe.
What is your favorite way to make homemade pizza?
Mmm, homemade pizza! We make it probably 3 times a month here since with dd's allergies, we can't just grab a pizza somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSausage is usually the first choice, and we'll put sauce, sauteed red/yellow peppers, mushrooms, onions, and anything else that looks good. Ham, pineapple and onion is also a favorite. I also make a BBQ chicken pizza, subbing some of the pizza sauce for bbq sauce.
Recently I was able to find a totally dairy/egg/soy free cheese called Daiya. Since dd has never had any type of cheese in her 13 years, it was a new experience for her. She actually prefers pizza without it.
Your pizza crust is safe for dd and a new recipe for us to try--yay!!
Looks like you and your cousins had a blast!
Happy New Year to you!
We've made pizza at home a few times, but I used store bought pizza crust. I'd like to try making my own, since we do have a bread maker! It looks like the kids were having fun. :)
ReplyDeleteyummy! good times :-)
ReplyDeleteOh homemade pizza is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd daughter asks for it probably every other day.
Believe it or not I got my recipe from my very first cookbook. When we were married we got a better crocker cookbook and the pizza dough recipe is so good!
And we make our sauce homemade, so we know just what is going in it!
I agree, saves money and you know what you are eating :)
If you're ever crunched for time, Trader Joes has awesome pizza dough and it's like $1.99 per bag which makes a decent sized pizza. They also have a whole wheat version which is really good too. That's what we use when we do homemade and it always turns out great. They have a good pizza sauce too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Your cousins look a lot like you! :) We make homemade pizza on Christmas Eve! My kids love it.
