I will keep it short and sweet tonight. I made homemade pizza this past weekend. I used to have this pizza dough recipe that worked just fine and I would get four large pies from two batches. This worked great since my family is not small, there are five of us, and we love pizza. I have no idea where this recipe has gotten off to so I have been on the hunt for a new recipe.
I tried one that was a complete flop. After careful review I discovered the problem, time. This was a recipe you prepare long before you use it. I am used to making and using my dough on the same day. I ditched this recipe and the hunt began again.
This past weekend I used a super simple recipe from my very worn Betty Crocker cookbook. Not only was is make and use the same day; it was make and use within minutes. There was no rise time. Sounded interesting. Again I made two batches. One batch was said to make two 12″ pies. I was able to get three 16″ pies and two adorable mini pan pizzas. Check these out! I used some heart shaped cake pans.

Is that not the cutest pizza ever? Now, this recipe is good if you are looking to make some decent pizza within a limited timeframe. Also note the 16″ pies were good, but the crust was ultra thin. I do not mind thin, but the mini pan pizzas were tastier with just a bit more crust. Now, the crust was thin but tasty. I would give it 4 stars and would recommend either smaller pies or fewer large ones.
Now it is time to tend to tonight’s dinner: meatloaf.
