Homemade Pizza

Here is our Mom's famous homemade pizza recipe. This was always one of our favorite recipes when we were kids and still is now. It is super easy especially if you have a mixer. My mom's favorite topping is a pound of ground beef. My dad used to tell her that she could open up a pizza shoppe with this recipe.

One of our favorites is BBQ Chicken Pizza. For the BBQ pizza we add BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce and then marinate Chicken in BBQ Sauce and grill it.



My kids still love just plain cheese as well.



2 cups warm water
2 T. yeast
sprinkle of sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. oil
5 cups of flour (use 4 and if needed add another 1/2 to 1 additional cup)

Toppings;
toppings of your choice
cheese
pizza sauce

Dissolve yeast in warm water and mix with a spatula. Once dissolved, add oil and then a sprinkle of sugar. Pour into a mixer if you have one and then add; the salt and flour. If the dough is too sticky then you need more flour. Makes enough for 2 pizzas. If you like your dough thinner, then you can use 1 cookie sheet and 1 pizza pan. Form dough on pans and top with pizza sauce and toppings. Bake for 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes depending on your oven temp.
