Pizza!



I have never met a person who doesn't like pizza!  I like to serve my childcare and my family all homemade bread products (even noodles).  The thought of mixing the dough, letting it rise, rolling it out, and then baking it makes the thought of ordering pizza much more appealing.

I thought I would share you how to easily and conviently have pizza crush ready at any time!  My most favorite pizza crust recipe comes from  Tightwad Gazette II .  I mix up the recipe exactly how the way it says in the food processor EXCEPT I double it.  I take the dough out, divide it in half, and then guess what?  I put it in a small zip lock freezer bag and stick it in the freezer.  Then I repeat the process 4 more times so that I don't have to do it again until I've made 10 pizzas :)

When it is time for pizza, I pull one out, take it out of the bag put it on a plate and put a damp towel on it.  I put the plate in the microwave and cook for 5 minutes at 20 percent power.  I do this until the pizza crust is completely defrosted, making sure the towel stays damp.

It won't take as long if you set it out the meal before you are going to use it, but be sure to keep it covered with a damp towel or it will have dried out areas on it. 

Then you are ready to roll it out, put your favorite toppings on it, bake at 375 degrees until bubbly and cooked - 20 to 30 minutes.  Enjoy!
