Pizza Night

My family loves pizza and my husband makes the best homemade pizza.  It's simple to make great dough for crust with a bread machine.  I haven't quite nailed down my own recipe for pizza sauce, but it isn't much more difficult than garlic, tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, and salt.  Jar sauce works just as well.
Thin crust pizza can be made on a pizza stone.  We make thick crust, Chicago-style pizza in a large cast iron skillet, no special tools or stones necessary.

Pizza Crust in the Bread Machine (enough for 2 large pizzas)
  • 1 1/2 c. scalded milk, cooled to room temperature (so as not to kill the yeast)
  • 1/3 c. melted butter
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 2 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 t. + 3/4 t. yeast
  1. Add ingredients to the bread machine pan in the above order.
  2. Follow bread machine's instructions for Dough.

Top pizzas with everyone's favorite toppings and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
