What's for dinner?!?!?!?

Well tonight it's supposed to be Shepperd's Pie, but my kids insist on Pizza, so out comes the flour, the yeast and the other ingredients, for some quick and easy homemade pizza.

QUICK PIZZA DOUGH

1 pkg. Quick Rise dry yeast (Red Star)
1 c. lukewarm water
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. honey
2 1/2 c. flour


Mix yeast in water , then add other ingredients. Mix well by hand. Cover with dishtowel and let sit in bowl for 5-10 minutes. Flatten on greased pan. Add your own toppings. Bake at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Topping Ideas:

Barbecue Chicken
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
1 small onion, finely diced
barbecue sauce....just eyeball it

Veggie
Green peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives

Hawaiian
Ham and pineapples

Just go for it....I sometimes double the recipe and make 4 individual pizzas so that everyone can add their own toppings. It's a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen too.

And here is mine tonight, I doubled the recipe and made a HUGE pizza...and let me tell you, the dough is like a deep dish, but it's so fluffy....totally yummy!!!
I used a can of Italian Tomatoes (basil, oregano, garlic) for the base, instead of the usual pizza sauce. Then I put mushrooms, ham, chourizo, green peppers and cheese. Go ahead and use whatever you have available at home, it's the best way to make it your own!!!

Enjoy!!!
