really good way of getting rid of lots of tasty groceries before they go bad :)
Dramatis Personae: Active Dry Yeast, sugar, flour, salt, (optional basil/garlic), olive oil, pizza sauce, shredded cheese of choice (I like mozzarella), warm water, toppings of choice. I like to do chicken, sliced onions/bell peppers, pineapple, ham, spinach, whatever I have on hand
Now, the process:
—> get a large bowl, combine a half cup of sugar, 1 packet or 2 Tbsp of yeast, pinch of salt, and 1 cup of flour and mix it up good. Add the basil and/or garlic here if you Have them
—> Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 2/3 cups lukewarm water, mix it up til it’s batter-y
—> gradually add 1 more cup of flour, pushing it in with your hands so its a consistent consistency
—> if that doesn’t make it doughy, add more flour til it’s doughy and you can make a ball out of it that sort of keeps its shape when you set it down
—> put another Tbsp olive oil in the bowl, covering the sides and the Ball, then cover with a wet towel or Saran wrap, and put it someplace warm to rise for a half hour
—> I usually use this time to preheat the oven to 425 and chop fruits and veggies/dice ham, and clean off a space to roll out the crust
—> once your dough is risen, punch it down a couple times in the bowl to get the air out. It should become a really satisfying elastic texture
—> sprinkle some flour in the flat surface you prepared, and roll out the dough (with a pin if possible, I just use my hands though) until it’s the shape of your pan. Oh yeah line your Baking sheet pan with paper or it’s more likely to burn
—> lay your crust down on the sheet and poke holes with a fork (VERY IMPORTANT if you don’t want the crust to be uber thick!), then use a spoon to cover the crust in a layer of olive oil, then a layer of pizza sauce
—> be liberal with the pizza sauce, make sure to get the edges. If you leave even a little crust at the edges, it’ll rise to huge size!! if you really really want that, put some copious garlic on there so you’re not left with a blank space babe!
—> furnish with cheese and toppings and stick it in the oven for 10-20 minutes, it’ll take longer if you have lots of toppings
—> in particular, I’d you’re putting on fresh veggies and fruit it’ll cooo faster and more evenly if you push em towards the edges. The center can take AGES otherwise and might burn the edges
—> Remove from oven and enjoy! DM me a picture if you make this plsssss

I promise it is so easy and you will feel like a goddess of the hearth.
Recipe:
6oz hot water
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbs olive oil
Dried herbs (if you want, I do oregano, basil, and garlic powder)
2 cups four
Do the hot water first and sprinkle yeast and let it sit for 3-5 minutes to activate yeast. Then add the rest of the ingredients, slowly adding in flour until you get the consistency you want (not sticky). kneed it for a bit and then let rise in a greased bowl with either a towel or plastic wrap over it for an hour. Then you roll it out and it’s good to go!
Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes until toppings are golden brown.

it’s not as hard as it seems, especially if you find an easy dough recipe. i use one that’s just flour, greek yogurt, and seasonings. not nearly as fussy as a traditional pizza dough and it still tastes bangin’
this one's got caramelized onions, ricotta, prosciutto, and sweet italian sausage :)
