Cooking Something New, Perhaps....Pizza

Yesterday I was thinking, hummm, what can I cook for dinner?  My husband's favorite is Pizza, so I thought, I'm going to try and make homemade pizza from the dough to the sauce, and all the delicious toppings included. I thought, it can't be too hard right?  Surely it's got to be easier than I think....and you know, it really was.

I went online to what used to be: www.recipezaar.com, and now is, www.food.com.

Here is the recipe I used for a thin crust pizza, which is our favorite.

The toppings I used were pepperoni, hamburger (with a little salt and pepper), red onion, sliced tomatoes, banana peppers, and Kalamata olives.  Yummy! You can really put whatever you like.


The sauce on this recipe was really too sweet for my taste, and calls for 4Tbsp. of white sugar, and 2Tbsp. of brown sugar.  WOW!!  It was really sweet!! Next time, I'm only going to use 1Tbsp. of sugar.

Although, my husband bit into the pizza and said, "I like the sauce!"  and also commented "this is the best pizza I've ever eaten!"

If you want something simple and not too difficult to prepare for a quick and fun dinner to get the kids involved, this is the one.

Thanks food.com! I'll be visiting again to find another yummy recipe from your endless possibilities of cooking ideas.
