Homemade Pizza

Pizza is everyone's favorite in our house. I usually make it on a Sunday night so I can give the leftover to my kids for lunch. That way I don't have to get up early Monday morning to prepare school lunch. I prefer making it from scratch so I know what is being used in the dough. I like to add wheat flour, oregano and garlic to the dough to give it a nice flavor.

Makes 2 large pizza

Ingredients

For the dough:

2 cups white flour

1 cup wheat flour

1 1/2 tbsp yeast

1 and 1/2 cup warm water

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp oregano

1 tbsp olive oil

Add yeast to the warm water, sprinkle some flour on top and leave it for 2-3 minutes. Mix the white flour wheat flour, salt, oregano, and olive oil. Slowly add the yeast mixture to it and make a nice soft dough. Cover and leave it in a warm place for 30 minutes till it rises. 

For the topping:

1 medium onion cut in rings

1/2 medium capsicum long thin slice

4 cloves garlic chopped

2 cups mozarella cheese

Note: any vegetables can be used for topping, for example - olives, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, broccoli, whatever one desires.

Sauce:

1 cup marinara sauce for 1 pizza (store bought) OR

1 cup pesto sauce for 1 pizza (store bought) OR

1 cup alfredo sauce for 1 pizza (store bought)

Directions:

Divide the dough equally, then roll out the dough to make a round shape. Place it on a pizza pan. Add marinara sauce and spread it evenly. You can add pesto sauce on the other pizza if you like, or you can use alfredo sauce. Add chopped garlic, capsicum, and onions on the sauce. Spread the cheese evenly on the pizza. Heat oven on 500 degrees on Bake, when hot bake the pizza for 12-13 minutes. The pizza crust should be well done from the bottom and the top should be also properly baked. Serve it hot.
