Todays blog is HOW to Make PIZZA DOUGH
Its easier than it sounds. Trust me.
My dad asked me last week how I make my pizza dough... No, I don't use bisquick. I actually have never tried to make pizza dough using bisquick yet. Seems to ez. haha
So, pizza dough...
Recipe:Honey Pizza Dough:
1 package active dry yeast
1tsp honey
1 cup warm water 100-110 degrees
2 1/2 -3 cups of all purpose flour (I used Organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour)
1 TBSP (Tablespoon) EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1 tsp (teaspoon) salt
First of all, make sure you have all your ingredients. Set them all out on the counter. I can't tell you how many times I thought that I had yeast and didn't. Now, almost every time I stop by the supermarket I pick up a package of yeast, Just In CASE.
Next, put the yeast in a small bowl and add 1/4 cup warm water and honey.
Third, mix the other ingredients in a seprate bowl.
After the yeast has set for five minutes you combine it with the flour mixture.
Turn the dough out on a lightly floured counter and kneed till the dough is no longer sticky, adding flour if needed. Make into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let sit till dough doubles in size. (If your dough does not rise... you probably killed the yeast by putting too hot of water in, I have done this before, more than once I might add. You can still roll it out and make one pizza.)
Once risen you can divide the dough into two balls and shape into pizza or use one for pizza and one for bread sticks.
Hint: when your playing with the flour make sure your phone isn't right next to the flour container... I spilt flour all over my phone. haha

| My amazing pizza pans I purchased a few years ago from Anns Linens. I love these! I think I payed less than $5 for each. |
Ok so here is the before rising and after rising pizza dough
 |
| Crazy hair! I needed something to eat, I was starving making this pizza. I didn't wanna ruin my appetite so I drank a V8 |
 |
| A made the bread sticks |
 |
| bread sticks b4 being cooked |
 |
| Someone didn't want the pesto on their side... then when It came to eat the pizza they did want it. haha |
 |
| veggie toppings! |
 |
| cheese goes on AFTER the spinach |
 |
| Pizza before cooked, you can add cheese on top of the toppings as well if you really love cheese |
 |
| Bread Sticks that A made, I put some butter and garlic on them. Next time Im going to make them dessert sticks |

 |
| Here's the Living Basil I was talking about in one of the older posts. They sell it at KROGER if you don't grow your own. (side note... Basil is the easiest herb to grow, seriously. I believe that and I read that in my cookbook the other day when I was parusing it. haha
Oh ya, props to Wolfgang Puck... Thats where I found this awesome recipe! I think there is even a how to video on his website.
Lesson learned: People change their minds, they tell you they don't want one thing but in the end they do what it. haha Pesto pizza is YUM! AND, don't have anything in the kitchen you don't wanna get dirty, Taking pictures with my phone was fun, but maybe I should place it someplace else while not in use.
Gotta love it!
God is amazing!
