Pizza, Pizza, Pizza

So Matt and I both love pizza (Matt a ton more than I do, however). I think at least 50% of the time when I ask Matt for ideas on what to cook for dinner, he says "Pizza!" So here's what I do when he says that and it's been at least a week since we've had pizza:

The Dough
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/4 cup warm water
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
3 1/2 to 4 cup flour (All purpose, or half wheat half white)

Add the yeast to the water in a medium mixing bowl. Once it's all dissolved, add 3 cups of the flour and mix. Add oil, salt, and as much of the rest of the flour as you can and mix well. Knead for 5 to 10 minutes. Rise in a warm place until double in size, about 45 minutes (make sure to cover the bowl with a towel so that it doesn't dry out). Punch down. Divide dough in half and roll into the size and shape of your pizza pan or cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

The Toppings
Basic Tomato Based
Your favorite kind of Spaghetti Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Your favorite veggies: tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms
Other yummy stuff: chicken, pepperoni, olives, pineapple

BBQ Chicken
BBQ Sauce, whatever brand you'd like
Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 small onion, sliced or diced
1 chicken breast, cooked and diced

The White Stuff
Alfredo Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
Spinach, cooked and drained
Mushrooms

So it's pretty simple: top the prepared pizza dough with whatever you'd like (I've given you some of our favs, but feel free to explore!) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before cutting, then enjoy!
