PIZZA DOUGH


Mom used to make individual pizzas for our birthday parties. She would set out various toppings and let each friend "decorate" their own pizza. Then instead of traditional birthday cake, we'd have banana splits...again each person making their own culinary creation. Fun!

Ingredients:

1 pkg. dry yeast
1 ¼ C. warm water
2 T. oil (olive or vegetable)
4 C. flour
1 tsp. salt

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in water and stir in oil. Add flour and salt. Knead until smooth. Put in greased bowl and cover with damp cloth. Let rise until double. Form 2 equal balls and then gently pull into crust form. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Then fill with desired pizza toppings and continue baking until cheese melts and crust is done.

Two of our favorites: sausage, green chile, sauteed onion, fresh mozzarella OR

fresh mozzarella, fresh sliced tomatoes, and fresh snipped basil or Italian herb mix

Makes 2-14 inch pizzas.
