Pizza Making 3/8

My friend leslie hosted a pizza making afternoon.  colton didn't get much past a few sprinkles of sauce (he was having more fun playing with friends), but grady totally got into making our dinner.

my favorite pizza is hawaiian....so..hawaiian it was! (well, with a little pepperoni on the side for my husband!)

here's an easy homemade pizza dough recipe:
Makes two 1-pound balls

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Directions

1. Place the warm water in a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Brush another large bowl with oil.
2. Whisk sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture, then stir in flour with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Transfer to oiled bowl; brush top of dough with oil. Cover bowl with oiled plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
3. Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 seconds; divide into two equal balls. To freeze dough, set balls on a plate (they should not touch); freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Then freeze in a labeled, resealable plastic bag up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
