First, let me thank my precious family for their willingness to try all the recipes I throw together, using whatever I can find, just to avoid going to the grocery store.  You are such good sports and you have my whole heart.  I couldn’t bring myself to fight the crowd at the grocery store today, so I took a stab at homemade pizza crust.  Did I have the classic ingredients to top a pizza, like pepperoni and, I don’t know, actual pizza sauce… NO!  But I did have spaghetti sauce and seasoned chicken.  I added a ton of mozzarella and a bit of parm and BOOM… we had pizza!  The real story here is the Homemade Pizza Crust.  It was super simple and pretty tasty and I’ll definitely be making it again.  And, who knows, I might even use actual pizza sauce next time.  🙂  Have a super great day!

Homemade Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2-3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 to 1 cup water

Instructions:

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix the dry ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Add olive oil to water.  Pour into dry ingredients.

Using dough hook, mix dough on low to medium speed for about 3 minutes.  Dough should be soft, but not too sticky.  If it seems stiff, add a bit more water.

Lay dough on a floured surface and roll to desired thickness.  No need to roll perfectly.

Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.  Carefully lay rolled dough onto baking sheet.

Add sauce and desired toppings.  Bake 15-20 minutes.  Baking time will vary depending on thickness of crust.  Enjoy!

Note:  Use all the fabulous toppings you’d like!  I just raided my fridge and freezer and used whatever I could find.  I used spaghetti sauce in place of pizza sauce for goodness sakes, and it totally worked.  Have fun!
