Pizza

We had a fun evening recently making homemade pizza. This pizza dough recipe is an old one, from one of my sister's college roommates. It is fabulous!

Bret and I did a deep dish pizza and each topped it with provolone cheese, sausage, mushrooms and peppers (on my side).

Ethan made this pizza dude. He is still eating the leftovers.
Ellie went for a Jack-O-Lantern and is also still eating her leftovers.
Note: This recipe makes a lot, but can easily be halved.

1/2 cup luke-warm water

2 Tbsp yeast

1 tsp sugar

6 Cups flour (I like to use 1 or 2 cups of wheat flour in the 6 cups)

4 Tbsp Oil

2 Tbsp Honey

2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups water

Combine luke-warm water, yeast, and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Make sure you add enough flour, but not too much, as you want a soft dough. Mix all ingredients together well and knead. After kneading well, let rise about an hour or until double in bulk. Roll dough out and put on greased baking pan. This amount of dough will make one very thick pizza on a large cookie sheet of 2 thin crust pizzas. Top with pizza sauce and desired toppings. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, on bottom rack, until edges of dough are golden brown.
