Friday night has been pizza night in our family for many years, about 17 years or so. I have made the pizza from scratch many many times. We have also bought from the chain stores and even bought the frozen ones when in a bind-YIKES!!
I use honey to sweeten the dough and wheat germ to add to the white flour. I have experimented over the years with different recipes for the sauce and have a few that we like.
Tonight I made one pepperoni and the other 1/2 of Canadian Bacon and the other 1/2 vegetarian. I had peppers, broccoli, onions and canned mushrooms available. The fresh tomatoes were added after baking.
I always prebake the crust at 425 for about 5 minutes then top them. I then do my best to transfer them onto a baking stone. This gives a beautiful crispy crust to the pizza.
You can see the nice color to the bottom of the pizza. As you can tell the stones are WELL seasoned and have made my pizza baking a success.
My youngest son, Jordan was the one who pushed for the Friday night pizza since he was 3 years old. We have hardly ever had anything different on Friday nights. Here he is anxiously awaiting the first bite!!
