Pizza & Breadsticks



2 1/2 - 3 cups flour
1 Tbs. dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 cup warm water
2 Tbs. olive oil

Directions

In large bowl combine 1 1/4 cup flour, yeast & salt.  Add water & oil.  Beat at low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl.  Beat 3 minutes on high speed.  Stir in enough of the remaining flour with a spoon to make a moderately stiff dough.  Cover dough & let rise for 10 minutes.  Roll out and press onto pizza pan.

Add favorite toppings:

Enough pizza sauce to cover crust to your liking {We buy it in a jar so the lid can go back on it and the leftovers can go in the fridge for Jason's  pizza quesadilla snacks}
Grated Monterey Jack or Mozzarella cheese {whichever is on sale}
Sliced sandwich ham
Pineapple tidbits
Pepperoni {all of our pepperoni got eaten on quesadilla snacks so our pizza was pepperoni free}

Bake at 425 F for 12-15 minutes or until it starts to brown.
 Cheesy Bread Sticks

Roll out left over pizza dough and better lightly.  Sprinkle with Parmesan, garlic and onion powder, Italian seasoning and salt.  Cut into strips and add grated cheese {whichever kind you like! we used the Monterey Jack that we used on the pizza.} Twist and bake until browned.

side note: this one is a little more difficult for me. I don't do 'dough.'  But Jason makes an awesome pizza and bread sticks. If he weren't here it would NOT be on the menu :)

  1. So is this breadstick recipe similar to a certain restaurant near your home and our old homes?
