I am always looking for ways to save time and save money. This recipe for pizza dough is super simple and contains items I already have so it is "free."
But why go through all the trouble you ask? Frozen pizza is pretty cheap and then there is the MESS.
There's a few reasons why. Firstly, I can save money. Second, it's nice to work with my hands. Thirdly, there is nothing like homemade bread, and lastly, togetherness. You see, when I bake, I try to do it with my kids.
(And my dog. She might just jump on a chair and try to take a bite out of the dough. )
To save time, I double the recipe to use for later or even better, surprise someone else with some awesome dough!
I hummed this song while making it with my son.
Here's how you make it:
Dissolve yeast in a bowl of warm water and let sit for 5 minutes.
(Blurry photo but proof I was there)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
(My kids helping make the dough)
Knead dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes. Toss the dough in the air if you are feeling festive. And feel free to break into song.
Refrigerate or freeze. When ready to use, let rise on the counter top, covered, for one hour.
(My roomba, umm, I mean, dog, helping me clean the mess lol)
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 500 degrees, add sauce, cheese and toppings, and bake for 5 minutes. Rotate, and bake for another 5 minutes. And it's done!
