Just Thought I'd Share...

Tiff Moosman just called to ask for my homemade pizza recipe and I remembered what a good one it was! My sister gave it to me and it is always a hit, so I thought I would share. We have done quite a few game nights/family gatherings where we make the crust and have all the guests bring their favorite toppings. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have...

Rudd's Gourmet Pizza

4 1/2 tsp. yeast
2 Tbs. sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. cooking oil

Mix yeast, warm water and sugar. Let the yeast work for 5 or so minutes. Add flour, salt, and cooking oil. Knead for 6-8 minutes. Divide into two equal pieces. Press onto pizza stone (or baking sheet). Bake at 490 degrees for 5 minutes. Top crust with desired sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to 490 degree oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts.

This recipe makes two crusts - when I make it for just our little family I will bake them both then do toppings on one and refrigerate/freeze the other. They keep well, so you can just add the sauce and toppings and bake again another day. Yummy!!
