We finally took the plunge and made homemade pizza. We spent Labor day making the traditional family homemade pizza. I have never made homemade pizza and never had much of a wanting to until recently when I learned how much cheaper homemade pizza was. So around 11ish Monday I got up to make the dough required for the pizza. This was the part that I was worried about the most due to the fact that I have NEVER made anything using yeast. I followed the directions exactly and put the dough in a bowl to rise, and let it sit for an hour. That hour was so hard! All I wanted to do was take the towel off and look at the dough and make sure that it was rising, but that was a BIG no no. So I got busy and prayed that the dough would rise and turn out ok. When the time came to take the dough out it had risen and looked great!! Now the fun part! Down came Jacob to help toss the pizzas.
After abour an hour of rolling and tossing pizzas to get them semi how we wanted we began adding toppings. Yummy!! Here is a picture of 1 pizza sauced. (I forgot to take any of the finished product, we ate them too quick)
Doesn't it look so good? My pizza consisted of cottage cheese mixed with sauce, cheese and peperoni, while Jacob's was cheese, peperoni, olives and pineapples. We had such a great time making pizza and it was so much better then store bought.
For Next Time:
- roll the dough out thinner it was a little too thick
- try to find a good pizza sauce recipe
- look into freezing pizza dough
- get a better rolling pin

I do not knwo if you have heard but Ryan has kept an Excel sheet of his Pizza making and musings. He has found that 6-in-1 tomato sauce (which can only be ordered online) is the best.He read that the best sauce is the one without citric acid. Ya'lls pizza making looks like fun!
What fun! But honestly, what would you have done if Jacob dropped the dough? ;)
He actually did drop one piece, he just picked it back up and that became his pizza LOL
