Pizza Fun


Friday night is pizza night at our house. We all have a lot of fun making it together. I thought I'd share the recipe. This is pretty much the same recipe we used growing up (and some are still using and growing up, right Alan?)

Wright Family Classic Pizza
Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 t. salt
1 t. sugar
1 T. or one package instant dry yeast
2 T. vegetable oil
1 cup warm water

Mix all ingredients well and knead, adding more flour if necessary to make a soft dough. Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise till doubled in size. Punch down dough and spread onto oiled pizza stone or pan. Makes 1 large pizza.














Sauce:
1/2 cup tomato sauce (or 2 T. tomato
paste and enough water to make 1/2 cup)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. dried oregano (or 1T. fresh)
1/2 t. dried basil (or 1T. fresh)
1/4 t. garlic powder (or 2-3 finely minced cloves)

Mix all ingredients and spread on pizza dough. Top with 4-6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese and toppings of choice. Bake in 425 degree preheated oven for 15-20 min.
