OH The Yumminess Of Homemade Pizza!!!!

We make homemade pizza about once a week. This week features chicken, spinach, artichoke, mushroom, and onion pizza with a ranch-ish sauce. Kids have about 1/4 plain sausage pizza. Yum Yum Yum!

I had a hard time with the crust for a while but have found a tried and true recipe from Betty Crocker Bridal Edition cookbook - the BEST cookbook ever!!!

2 1/2 c flour
1T sugar
1 tsp salt
1 pk dry active yeast (I like Fleschmans over Red Star)
1 c very warm water
3 T olive oil

mix 1c flour, sugar, salt, yeast, water, and oil together. Add 2.5 - 3 c flour. Knead until springy. Let sit for 20 minutes. Roll out and poke holes in (with fork all over to avoid air pockets). Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Pull out, add toppings, and bake again for 15-18 minutes. YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
