HOMEMADE INDIVIDUAL PIZZAS

Steps:

• (this dough can also be made in a bread maker):
• Put warm water in a large bowl, add the yeast and let stand for about 7 minutes for the yeast to activate. Don't use hot water or you will ruin the yeast.
• Whisk in honey and olive oil. Add flour, then the salt and knead until well-combined (use a dough hook on speed 2 if using a mixer). The dough should be sticky.
• Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place until doubled in volume (45 min to 1 hr at room temp or 25-30 min in a warm 100˚F oven).
• Combine all sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan.
• Simmer over medium/low heat until it is reduced by about a third. It needs to thicken or the pizza will be too juicy. If you need to cool sauce to room temp faster, transfer sauce to a bowl and place in a bath of ice water.
• Generously sprinkle baking pans with cornmeal; this keeps the crust crisper and prevents sticking to the pan. You can also oil pans if you don't have cornmeal.
• Grease a clean work surface and your hands with olive oil. Transfer dough to oiled surface and cut into three even pieces. Form each piece into an 8" round pizza crust using your hands and transfer to baking pans lined with cornmeal.
• Spread 1/3 pizza sauce on each pizza leaving a 1/2" border of dough all the way around. Add plenty of mozzarella cheese and any of your favorite toppings; this is where it gets really fun! (See list of toppings above for supreme pizza or Greek Pizza).
• Bake pizzas at 415 degrees F for 15 minutes or until the crust is crisp and toppings are cooked. Cheese will be melted and turn golden in a few spots.
• (Tip for the Greek Pizza: once the toppings are on, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. After the pizza comes out of the oven, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. It's so good!)

CUSTOM INDIVIDUAL FROZEN BREAD DOUGH PIZZAS

Steps:

• 1. Thaw 2 dinner rolls per person. Allow them to rise about half way then roll them out to your desired size. They make a really nice 6" round with a thick crust or an 8" round with a thin crust. Of course you can make them any shape you like!
• 2. Place on pizza pan or baking sheet. I like to cook them on a silpat so they don't stick and I don't have to use cornmeal.
• 3. Cover and allow the little pizzas to rise. This can take anywhere up to an hour or more depending on the temperature in your kitchen. Preheat oven to 400. NOTE: I like to do a quick pre-bake on my crusts to get it nice a crunchy on the bottom when it's all done. So I pop it into the oven - before I decorate it - for about 6 minutes.
• 4. Prepare all the toppings by slicing and dicing and shredding and even pre-cooking things like sausage or any other raw protein if you so desire.
• 5. When the oven is hot get everyone together to start creating! There is no right or wrong way ... only the way you each want your custom pizza to be!
• 6. Once you have all of your toppings arranged ... or packed on ..the way you want it's time to get cooking!
• 7. Slide them into the oven for about 10 - 14 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted to your liking.
