Life: Modified

I can't come up with a recipe on my own to save my life; I overthink the idea of creating something new, my brain gets flustered and suddenly I don't know salt from pepper :P



One thing I know is how to follow a recipe and I LOVE cooking! Around here, we eat a lot of pizza. To make pizza night a little cheaper I make our dough and sauce. I've tried a few different dough and sauce recipes but these are by far the easiest and our favorites. Since becoming a Beach Body Coach, I haven't really ate this dough in a while but I still make it for my husband. The kids and I use pita bread and pile the homemade sauce and toppings on top of it.

Here's the recipe for dough:

Ingredients:
1 (.25 oz) package of dry active yeast
1 tsp white sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
2.5 cups bread flour (or regular flour)
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a pan lightly greased with olive oil. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
