My Favorite Pizza Recipe


Running a business turns you into a thrifty person. Especially in this economical climate. My husband and I cook a lot more, and buy in bulk now. Which is really not our style. I'm a horrible cook. But one thing I do love to make (and make weekly!) is home made pizza! We make it Neopolitan Style and just dump the ingredients into our bread machine. (The secret is the cake flour!)



1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
Olive oil for the bowl

Turn your oven up all the way and pre-bake the crust and sauce for a few minutes before adding your toppings. We usually make a fresh tomato sauce in the blender. Super Easy! Or we have a white pizza and sprinkle it with red pepper flakes! Mmmmm.
Today I'm having the leftover dough from last night as a mini pizza with leftover blender sauce, mozzarella, and fresh cilantro. Cilantro is my favorite.

yummy! I've never made pizza before. I've only ever used Boboli pizza crusts, which aren't bad, but I can't imagine they compare to homemade!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
