I LOVE pizza. We usually just go out and pick one up. But last week we saw this great deal on a HUGE brick of mozzerella cheese. So I decided to use some of my fresh cheese up by making some pizzas.

Homemade Pizza on a Pizza stone... |
Pizza crust is really easy to mix up if you have a mixmaster. I just dump the ingredients in and the machine does all the work mixing and kneading it a bit. For a better crust, sprinkle cornmeal on the prepared pizza pan. To prevent soggy crusts, use sauce kind of sparingly.

My old pizza stone has seen better days..... |
|
But it always makes a great pizza! |
My family loves PREGO spaghetti sauce. I never use up the huge 64 ounce jugs we get at Costco with one family spaghetti dinner . So this is a great way to use up any leftover marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce you have in the fridge.
|
My favorite pizza sauce.... |
Now my son and daughter-in-law got me these cute Skookie cast iron cookie pans awhile back and I hadn't had a chance to use them yet. But what about little individual deep dish pizzas? Now doesn't that sound SUPER fun?

Snookie makes a cool pizza pie pan! |
Here's the box they came in. And guess what I found when I opened it up? Each one has a little hot pad fajita type handle cover. SO bleeping CUTE!
|
Aren't the little hot pads just the cutest little things? It came with a cute pair and his and hers SKOOKIE pans! |

Ingredients for Pizza Dough

1 Tablespoon sugar Combine yeast, water and then add sugar. Set aside.
Then mix
2 1/2 cups bread flour (or all purpose) plus 1/4 cup extra when rolling out
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Then add in the yeast mixture. Mix with dough hook in mixer for a few minutes. Roll out on pizza stone. ( I usually have enough for 2 mediums.
Add sauce and toppings. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes on 425.
Baking Directions
- Bake at 375 degrees C (190 degrees C) for 20 + minutes. Allow pizza to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

John's favorite is supreme. I use sausage, olives, peppers and onions to his. I was out of sausage in this pic so he is stuck with bacon on his.

Homemade Pizza in a cast iron fry pan....so cute! |
|
I love how these pizzas turn out...it looks like a fajita pan these individual pizzas are sooooo cute! |
|
Kids love to make their own individual pizzas in these cast iron pans too. |
My daughter's favorite is barbequed chicken. Just add barbeque sauce to some chicken sliced 1/4 inch strips. Add cheese and mushrooms slightly sauteed in butter and garlic.
I used to love Taco Pizza. Just use leftover taco meat, cheese, tomato and some Doritos crushed. These are unusual and winners when you are having a tailgate or sports party at your house. Mmmmhmmm......everybody loves a pizza pie.
