Sunday Dinner Is Served

Before...

After!

I've been really working on making dinner this past week.During the school year it's no big deal-but summer is a different story. It is kind of nice to have a relaxed schedule for the summer, I have to admit. But the routine of the school year is good too. Here is what we had tonight. My favorite from my 100's list~ vegetarian pizza. I love homemade pizza- it is the best. One of the secrets to making your own pizza is in pan. I have a pizza screen-love it- & they are only about $5-8.00 at a restaurant supply store. Make sure you spray them with cooking spray or the pizza won't come off, then cook your pizza on a high temp such as 425-450 degrees.
Any crust recipe will taste better on the screen but here is mine.The sauce recipe is great too because it is so easy & uses pantry ingredients.

Pizza Crust

1Cup warm water

1 Tblsp yeast

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

2 1/2 cups flour

Let yeast rest on water until mostly dissolved then wisk in sugar & salt . Next, stir in flour & knead on floured board just until getting smooth- only a couple of times. Let rest for 10-15 minutes while preparing ingredients. Next roll out & place on pan or screen. Cover with sauce & toppings starting with cheese then ending with a little cheese- just for looks. *Hint I always use Montery Jack cheese instead of mozzerella, of course mixing the two would be awesome. True Italians would hate me but it has more flavor.

Pizza sauce

1 small can tomato sauce

1/2 tsp sugar

2 tsp dried basil crushed

1 tsp dried oregano crushed

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 clove or 1/2 tsp chopped garlic

Mix together & let sit while you prepare other ingredients. The longer it sits the better/stronger the flavors.
