Home made pizza


I have never met a person who doesn't like pizza, who didn't have the cravings for pizza.. Now that was me last week.. I didn't want store brought pizzas since it is not up to my standard these days. I wanted to make one just the way I like.
Came home talked to Noel( my daughter). She is all for it. So here it comes
Pizza Dough
All purpose flour 2 1/4 cup
Active dry yeast 1 tsp
Sugar 2 1/2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
Vegetable oil 2 tbsp
Warm water 1 cup
In a small bowl combine flour salt sugar yeast. stir well to combine. Add vegetable oil and water to the mixture. Make a soft dough. Cover and keep it in a warm place to rise until it doubled in volume.It takes about 40 minutes. (I used my oven)
Take the dough out and spread it on to the pizza pan. use your hands to spread. put it back in to the oven to rise again for about 10 15 minutes.
While the dough is rising, prepare your favourite toppings.
For Toppings
Pizza sauce/ tomato sauce enough to cover the pizza
Mozzarella cheese 1 ball
Pepper flakes to sprinkle
Bacon
Peperoni
Red Onion sliced
Jalapeño pepper
Olives circles
chop the bacon and fry to a golden brown. Grate mozzarella cheese.
Take the pizza dough out spread the tomato sauce with a spoon. Spread 1/4 of grated cheese now add all your favourite toppings. Top with the rest of the cheese. Pre heat your oven to 450 . Bake for about 20 minutes.
I would add some oregano and basil and garlic if using plain tomato sauce
