Homemade Pizza

We have homemade pizza every week. The kids looks forward to Pizza Night. We usually watch a movie.

Our Homemade Pizza Recipe is simple, tasty, and all natural!

I perfected this recipe during our first deployment. It saved us a lot of money and is super healthy compared to takeout.

My second job was at Pizza Hut. I paid attention.

I start by proofing the yeast. I add warm water, yeast, and olive oil and whirl it around to blend. Then walk away.

First Ingredients for Pizza

After about 5 minutes, the yeast is frothy and smells great.

Proofed Yeast

I add a blend of flour to get the perfect texture in my pizza crust.

Second Ingredients for Pizza

If you can find a pizza flour or pastry flour, it makes a difference!

Pizza Flour

I pour the flour in on top of the yeast and sprinkle with salt.

Adding Flour and Salt to Yeast Mixture

Having the right tools is important! These are the best baking pans.

The dough is all ready when the sides of the bowl are mostly clean. Perfect consistency: not too dry and not too wet.

Mixed Dough

I knead the dough for a few minutes with olive oil. Sometimes, I’ll use more flour if it’s a very wet day.

Dough Ball

Time to let the dough rise for about an hour. I love these cube containers! I often set it by the radiator since it’s warmer there.

Time for a beer!

After an hour, it’s soft and almost double in size. Smells great!

Risen Dough

I love this little scraper, divider, cutter thing.

Divider Cutter

I dump the dough out and divide into quarters for four pizzas.

I spread the dough by hand and docking eliminates any air bubbles.

Time to gather toppings. We like various pepperonis and salamis and sausage. I love red onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Everyone likes extra cheese!

A little sprinkle of fresh Parmesan on top of any pizza is wonderful, by the way.

Drizzle just a wee bit of olive oil for a nice crisp.

Pizza Toppings

I love this brand of pizza sauce since it’s natural, with no icky ingredients. It’s the only one I can find lately.

We often can our own marinara.

I haven’t harvested any tomatoes in a while. I might just go to the farmer’s market and buy a case or two!

Pizza Sauce

Gotta add a sprinkle of oregano. Trust me.

And sometimes a sprinkle of basil and garlic powder.

Oregano

I like the edges crispy. I leave mine in the oven longer than the kids’ pizzas.

Cooling Pizza

The best pizza cutter tool. It rocks back and forth. It’s fun.

This boy is super happy and ready to eat and watch a movie!

Pizza Night

Top the stretched out pizza dough with favorite toppings and bake at 450* for about 10 minutes.

Honey is optional and just makes the dough a bit sweet.

Anniversary pizza night! Anniversary pizza night!
On Epiphany day,      we are still the people On Epiphany day,     we are still the people walking.     We are still people in the dark,          and the darkness looms large around us,          beset as we are by fear,                                        anxiety,                                        brutality,                                        violence,                                        loss —          a dozen alienations that we cannot manage.We are — we could be — people of your light.     So we pray for the light of your glorious presence          as we wait for your appearing;     we pray for the light of your wondrous grace          as we exhaust our coping capacity;     we pray for your gift of newness that          will override our weariness;     we pray that we may see and know and hear and trust          in your good rule.That we may have energy, courage, and freedom to enact         your rule through the demands of this day.         We submit our day to you and to your rule, with deep joy and high hope.W. Breuggemann
