homemade pizza

Ingredients for pizza crust

• 2 1/2 cups of Flour

• 1 tablespoon of Yeast
• 1 teaspoon of Salt
• 4 tablespoons of Oil
• 1 cup of Warm Water
• 1 tablespoon of Honey

Mix dry ingredients together then add wet ingredients.
Knead for 5 minutes then let rest for 5 minutes.
Roll out dough and put it on a baking sheet (we use a stone).

Next we chop up some fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, basil and oregano and put them onto the crust.  You can also use dried herbs.  You don't need to use much because they have a lot of flavor.

Next pour some sauce on the crust and use as much as you like.

Then put about 2 cups of cheese on top.  We get pizza cheese from Kroger.

And then you put any toppings you want.  I like sausage the best but we usually do peperoni and my parents like olives, onions and green peppers.

Bake at 425 for about 10-15 minutes or the cheese gets just a little brown.

chocolate chip cake

1 cup oil
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs

¼ cup water
1 box butter flavored cake mix
1 8oz carton of sour cream
1 6oz package of chocolate chips (we use a little more)

Preheat oven to 325.
Prepare bunt pan with oil and flour.
Mix all ingredients for 3-5 minutes and pour into pan.
Bake 1 hour (until a toothpick comes out clean).
Cool on rack for 10-15 minutes and then remove from pan.

We like it best when it is warm!






This is very easy to make.  I hope you like it.
