Today, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to cook. None. Zero. I knew what I have to cook for our staff potluck tomorrow, but I didn’t know about tonight’s dinner. What did I do? I used a bit of my after-school plan time to surf my favorite food blogs…and then it hit me!
Jennifer at Slim-Shoppin‘ had posted her sister Biz’s super fast, no rise pizza dough. THEN I remembered that I had a jar of Biz’s amazing tomato sauce that she gave me at our potluck on Sunday. And THEN I also remembered that I had Italian sausage from Christina! There was my answer… homemade pizza!
I picked up the ingredients at the grocery store, and came home excited to cook. I mixed up the easy recipe:
2 cups flour
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 tsp. yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix together. Roll out and top!
When I saw Biz on Sunday, she pre-baked her crust so it got a bit crispier, and that’s what I did tonight. After baking at 375* for about 15 minutes, I topped each mini crust with some of the sauce, some sliced cooked sausage, and low fat mozzarella cheese. Then mine got an additional topping of roasted red peppers and Chavrie. I baked it an additional 15 minutes.
What came out was nothing short of glorious:

Isn’t it so easy now that you’ve made it? I never made my sister’s pizza dough for YEARS because I thought it would be hard, but it’s not!
Another idea too, is using the dough to make calzones! YUM!
Glad it worked out for you, it looks AMAZING!

Ok, don’t think I can read your blog anymore until after I stop doing the pre-wedding calorie restriction thing later next week. All I want out of life right now is pizza. And not healthy pizza…
Ok, I’ll keep reading your blog. But try to post some gross looking food for the next few days for me, ok? =)
