Pizza

Last night, I made homemade pizza.  We love homemade pizza!  You have to plan, though, so that you're not starting the crust when you're ready to eat!

For the crust:
1c whole wheat flou
1c flour
1tsp salt
3T olive oil
2tsp dry yeast
3/4c warm water (105-110 degrees)

Combine the water and the yeast and let sit until yeast is dissolved, about 5 minutes.  Mix the flour, salt, and olive oil in a food processor.  Add the yeast/water mixture and blend just until it combines.  Pour out onto a floured surface and knead until it forms a ball, about 1 minute.  Put the ball in a greased bowl and let rise until it is doubled in size.  Punch down and you're ready for pizza!  Depending on the size of your pan, this will make 1 or 2 crusts.  I use the rectangular Pampered Chef stone (it's easier to roll out than the round one!) and this will make 1 crust.  It's kind of in the middle of a thick and thin crust which my family really likes.

I topped with sauce, pepperoni, and the 1/2lb of spicy sausage I had leftover from Saturday's tomato soup.  Then I added cheese and sprinkled with pepper and Italian seasoning.  I baked for about 20 minutes at 425.  Let it sit for 5 minutes before you cut it.
