Pizza is always a hit in our house and I try to make it with enough veggies and healthy meats vs processed so that we don’t have to feel so guilty enjoying it! I just use whatever veggies I have on hand and it really is a quick, easy meal to throw together! The dough recipe is one that I got from Andrew’s mom when we first got married, and we love it so I have never found the need to try find a different one. I just keep changing the variation of toppings so we never get bored!
basic dough recipe:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp yeast
Mix flour and salt. Mix remaining ingredients and add to above. Make a soft dough, kneading until smooth. Let rise. Place on greased pan. Add chosen toppings and bake at 400F for 20 minutes. We quite often will cook our pizzas on the smoker instead of in the oven which gives it such a unique, tasty flavor.
For this pizza, I spread a layer of bbq sauce on the dough. Then added small pieces of grilled chicken, peppers, carrots and onion. Top it off with mozza cheese and you are ready to bake.
the finished product!
