Christopher's First homemade pizza!

So, with Christopher being home, we have been getting back into cooking again. Sure, I cooked when he was gone but it just isn't as fun, especially when the one person you cook for just wants fish sticks every night. 

So! We started with homemade pizza. We made the dough and sauce from scratch. I guess I should post the recipie on here. 

Pizza dough: Add 1 packet of dry yeast to 1 cup of tepid water. Stir and let sit. While that is sitting, measure out 4 1/4 cups of flour into a food processor. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Start the machine and as it's spinning add in the yeasty water. If you don't have a food processor you can do this by hand, or you can probably use a stand mixer. Mix until it's combined and comes away from the sides. Roll into a ball, put it in a bowl and cover with plastic. Let sit in a warm place for at least an hour. 

Pizza sauce: 1 large can of crushed tomatoes, 1 clove of garlic minced, a little butter, salt and pepper.  Put tomatoes, garlic, and butter in a sauce pan over medium heat, reduce by half. Salt and pepper to taste. You will have plenty so have a jar on hand to hold the extras. 

Anyway, we made a pizza with fresh mozzarella, feta cheese, our sauce, chopped tomatoes and fresh basil. I think the only thing we will add next time is pesto sauce to the top. It was really yummy, and a fun family project to do, we all helped with each step.
