Pizza Dough Recipe
One of our favorite meals is pizza night! I find that kids are more likely to eat their dinner if they are involved in the process and feel as though they have some input on how things are prepared. Anytime you involve your kiddos in something that would be easier done without their assistance be prepared to use every bit of patience you have. It can take some extra time but there is bonding and fun to be had!
Dough Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1.5 cups of warm water ( make sure the water is not too hot otherwise it will kill the yeast)
1 package of yeast
1 tablespoon salt ( Our favorite salt is Redmond’s)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
Directions:
Add the water, yeast and honey together and let stand for five minutes
Then add to the bowl with the flour and salt
Mix well and knead for about five minutes
Place dough into an oiled bowl and let it rest for at least an hour or until dough has doubled in size
This will make enough dough for one large pizza or two medium thin crust pizzas
Bake at 400 degrees for twenty minutes
Some topping ideas:
Classic red sauce, arugula, sweet corn, shredded chicken, mozzarella
Classic pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella
You could even lay out a bunch of toppings and let your family make their own personalized pizza! We hope this is a hit in your home as it is in ours!
