Pizza is the best cure for "The Mondays"

Pizza makes everything better, right? Even a case of the Mondays? I think so. 

Last night I tried my hand at some home-made dough. Now I get home around 6pm and I knew the husband was hungry because I was starving. So I made a bowl of lite butter/salt popcorn to hold us both off, because I knew this pizza was going to take a bit.

Yummy!

Okay, back to the pizza. When I jump into something I jump head first. So I made stuffed crust pizza...mmm. 

My Conclusion:

• Great recipe
• Simple
• Thick dough
• easy

The recipe is so simple and easy. 

3 cups flour

1 packet of dry active yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

2 table spoon olive oil

1 cup of warm water

a pinch of basil

Mix the dry stuff first then throw in the wet stuff. Mix it well then let it sit for 10 to 30 mins. I would suggest throwing it in the fridge for bit as well. Kneed the dough on a floured surface for 1 to 2 mins. Then spread onto floured pizza pan! I wrapped some mozzarella sticks into the ends to make it stuffed. I had to break the pieces in two to make them curve into a circle. I popped just the crust into the oven to let it set for 4 mins. After that, put your toppings on bake at 375 for 20 mins. 

Ta Da! Pizza!

During this time my husband comes over

"what's taking so long?" 

"I made my own dough." 

"and..."

"I made it.." 

"Like from scratch? Like flour, yeast and let it rest?"

"Yes" I couldn't help but start to laugh now...poor guy has to deal with me everyday. 

Two things I will do for next time: 

• Get cheese that will melt better, the cheese I used didn't want to melt... I used "Fancy" Mozzarella...ooh la la 
• Make the dough thinner/possibly let it set in the fridge longer.
