SIMPLE, EASY PIZZA

Steps:

• Add water, yeast, sugar, and salt to mixing bowl.
• Let sit 10 minutes. You should see bubbles of yeast (if not, you may have the wrong water temperature: start over).
• Mix in flour conservatively - don't add too much. After mixing it in, keep adding until dough is not wet looking and can be kneaded.
• Knead dough until smooth.
• Let rise at least 30 minutes (ideally 1 hour) at room temperature.
• Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees.
• Split dough into pieces (3-5 depending on size of pizza).
• Roll dough out each to the size of your pan (toss if desired to help reach appropriate size).
• Sprinkle corn meal onto each pan.
• Place dough onto pans, stretching or squeezing if necessary to fit properly.
• Spread some tomato sauce onto dough, leaving about an inch around the outside without sauce.
• Spread some cheese on top of the sauce.
• Add additional toppings as desired.
• Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until dough is fully cooked. The bottom of the pizza should be at least a little crispy.

EASY PIZZA ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.
• Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured cutting board. Flatten out into a rectangle.
• Brush surface of the pizza dough with as much pizza sauce as you like.
• Cover dough with alternating slices of large pepperoni and mozzarella slices. Dot with small pepperoni slices.
• Starting at the long side, roll up the dough carefully into a jelly roll, making sure the filling stays in and pinch closed along the side. Slice into 1/2-inch rounds and place them inside the cake pans flat. Tuck the ends around as necessary and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each slice.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir together olive oil, parsley, and garlic in a shallow bowl. Brush warm pizza rolls with garlic oil.
