By the time Friday night rolls around, my brain is usually as fried as my body after a week of trying to figure out what to cook for the same people at the same time every day. Thus enters #fridaynightpizzanight. Whoever invented it should be given a Nobel Prize. Or at least a “noble prize” from the “Guild of all Tired and Brain-Fried Mamas Everywhere” – if such a guild existed. And I’m saying it should.

For the longest time, I would buy frozen pizzas that usually looked so much better in the grocery freezer section than they ended up tasting on our blue flower Corelle Ware. So, I started making my own pizza – dough and all. And our world has never been the same. It’s better than what I would buy at the store and it isn’t hard. Y’all, it really isn’t hard and really doesn’t take as long as you may think. I don’t do hard and I don’t do tedious. So, if I can make my people pizza (as in make pizza for my people), you can too.

Enjoy!

Author: Meredith Bernard

Ingredients

• 2 c White Lily Bread Flour (or any all purpose flour)
• 1 tbsp live active yeast
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2/3 c lukewarm water

Instructions

• Mix 1 cup of flour with all other ingredients.
• Add only what you need of 2nd cup of flour to form a “loose” ball – for best results, USE YOUR HANDS. Embrace it, it’s fun!
• Let the dough rest 10-15 minutes in a covered bowl, after rolling the ball in a little EVOO (that’s extra virgin olive oil – it’s extra good) OR put the bowl in a 200 degree warmed oven that you TURN OFF after it reaches 200 degrees.
• Spread out onto your choice of pizza pan or pizza stone (I also like to sprinkle a little corn meal on my stone to keep the crust from sticking) and add your favorite toppings
• Bake at 375 degrees for around 15 minutes or until bubbly. Take out of oven. Eat.
