Pizza

My sister is famous for her homemade pizza. She even makes her own sauce from fresh tomatoes in her yard and her own mozzarella cheese. I didn't get quite that fancy with mine, but it was still pretty good. It's quick (you can go from start to eating in less than an hour) and, for pizza, pretty healthy.

Part of her secret is a great recipe for the dough which uses quick rise yeast so there is no waiting for dough to rise. If you like a think and crispy crust, try and roll this crust as thin as you can...less than a 1/4".

For the sauce, you can either use a jarred tomato sauce or I bought boxed tomatoes (If you haven't found boxed tomatoes, give them a try. They don't have the metallic taste that you find in the canned ones) and added some garlic and Italian herbs to give it more flavor.

As for toppings, my sister always uses fresh mozzarella for her pizza. She slices the balls into 1/3" pieces and places them around the pizza. I topped one with red onion and peperoni and prosciutto, cherry tomatoes and basil (add basil after pizza cooks) to the other. They were delicious.
