Pizza, anyone?!

This household loves pizza! Our favorite store-bought frozen pizzas are DiGiorno Pizzas. We do make homemade pizzas as well sometimes. (Yes, Trint usually helps making pizza!) This week, we made pizza again--2 pepperoni pizzas and 2 alfredo chicken spinach pizzas! It was the first time trying the alfredo pizza, but it was pretty good and a good change from the greasy pepperoni! Below is the recipe for the pizza we make. Trint didn't care for the pizza I used to make when we first got married, so I did some recipe searching and some experimenting on my own and came up with a good recipe that he loves!

PIZZA

Pizza Dough:
2 c. warm water
2 T. yeast
2 T. oil
2 t. salt
3 T. sugar
2 T. powdered milk
5+ c. flour

Let water, yeast, oil, salt, sugar, and powdered milk stand for 5 minutes. Add 4 c. flour and stir. Add 1 c. flour and knead (add more if dough is too sticky). Smooth out on 3-4 lightly greased pans. [I usually use 2 rectangular cookie sheets and 1 round pizza pan.] Let rise. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. [I set oven at 170 degrees and let dough rise for about 10-15 minutes in oven and then turn oven up to 400 degrees while dough is still in oven.]

Pizza Sauce (for 3 pizzas):

3 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
1 1/2 t. salt
3/4 t. pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 heaping t. onion powder
1/4 heaping t. "Mrs. Dash" (a spice blend)

Combine sauce ingredients and spread on pizza bread.
Add your favorite cheeses, meats, vegetables, etc. Put in oven to melt cheese.


Spinach Chicken Alfredo Pizza
1/2 jar of alfredo sauce for 1 pizza
fresh spinach
cooked chicken
chopped tomatoes
bacon bits
cheeses

Bubble Pizza
(This is a quick version of pizza--uses regular biscuit and pizza sauce recipes.)

1 lb. ground beef, browned in skillet

Biscuit dough:
2 c. flour
3 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/3 c. vegetable oil
2/3 c. milk

Measure dry ingredients into bowl and stir. Pour oil and milk into flour mixture and stir until mixture cleans side of bowl and forms a ball. Pinch out some and roll into balls and place in 9x13" pan.

Pizza sauce:
2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/4 heaping t. garlic powder
1/8 heaping t. onion powder
1/8 heaping t. "Mrs. Dash" (a spice blend)

Combine sauce ingredients and stir into browned beef. Pour meat mixture over biscuits in pan. Bake uncovered at 450 degrees about 10-12 minutes (until biscuits are done). Sprinkle with 2 c. shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and bake 2-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
