Pizza!

Pizza is a Friday night tradition at our house. It’s always something to look forward to and I find that because we’re home every day, specific meals on specific days helps mark the days of the week. From time to time, I have someone ask me about my recipe for pizza, so here it is.
Dough
My pizza dough recipe is basically the same one I use for bread! The only difference is the oil and the flour. For bread, I use butter and half whole wheat flour. For pizza, I use all unbleached white flour, and the oil I use is my secret ingredient!
1.5 tsp baking yeast
1 cup warm liquid of choice (I use water or whey)
1 tbsp sweetening (I use unbleached sugar or honey)
3 cups flour
1.5 tsp. salt
2 – 3 tablespoons *oil or melted fat
Mix yeast in warm liquid and sprinkle with sweetening. Let proof (work until the yeast begins to bubble and rise).
Yeast proofing
*Here’s the secret ingredient. It’s the herbed olive oil that I store my feta cheese in. (Directions here). The oil takes on a wonderful herby, cheesy flavor that makes delicious pizza crust!
