Pizza Night!



Category: Pizza
Cuisine: Italian
Prep Time: Less than 2 hrs
Special Considerations: Vegetarian

Delicious home made pizza is always a hit with my family! Here's my latest creation sure to satisfy the most critical of pizza connoisseurs!

For dough: mix 3/4 cup warm water with 1 packet active dry yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey, let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add 2 cups flour (I use all purpose, but you could use half whole wheat) 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix in mixer until comes together in a ball. Lightly flour surface and knead dough for a few minutes until smooth. Let rise in oiled bowl for one hour until doubled in size. When ready to make pizza punch down dough and knead again on floured surface. Cut dough ball in half and roll out to make two pizzas.
Sauce: Take one can organic Muir Glenn tomato sauce and cook with 1 teaspoon worceshire sauce, one clove crushed garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, fresh ground black pepper and a dash of kosher sea salt.
While dough is rising- saute red onions and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 bat of butter until caramelized.
Shred 1 cup monetary jack cheese, 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese and 1/4 cup pecorino ramano.
Roll out pizza dough and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees until starting to brown slightly, take out of the oven and disperse generous amount of tomato sauce, then cheese then mushroom red onion mixture, then top with a little more of the cheese. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
Enjoy!
