First off let me tell you that I should be in bed! I just can't seem to get there, it is a new episode of Top Chef, and I want to watch it! I so miss my recording feature. I guess I will stay up till midnight.
That out of the way, here is a go to recipe for me. I call this my idiot proof recipe. No matter how much the kids try, it is REALLY hard to mess this recipe up. Even if you don't have the time to let it rise completely, it still works. It is so easy and very tasty.
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp yeast
1 cup warm water (you want it to be about 105 degrees)
1 tbsp oil
In a bowl combine the first 3 ingredients. Combine water and yeast and let set for about 3 minutes. Add oil to water and yeast mixture. Combine the liquid and flour mixtures. ADd additional flour if needed to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Put in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes. Place on a greased 12 inch pizza pan and pat into a 12 inch circle. Let raise for about 5 minutes.
Brush the top of the dough with 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing.
Sprinkle with (combined):
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
a pinch of pepper
Sprinkle with:
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into pieces and ENJOY!!!
