Every Wednesday It's homemade pizza night. My husband constantly complained to me that I never make the same thing twice so... this started pizza night it is his one day a week of food security! Me on the other hand I am constantly wanted to try new things even with pizza! But tonight is plain old boring pizza night just some ground beef red peppers and mushrooms. But the twist is it is all homemade from dough to sauce! I love homemade sauce and dough... which leads me to the first recipe of the day homemade pizza sauce!
2 lbs any kind of tomatoes quartered
1 onion diced
4 cloves garlic
a handful of fresh basil and parsley
salt and pepper to taste
a few dashes of cumin
put all of these things in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until most of the liquid is evaporated.
Take the mixture and blend in a food processor or blender until smooth then put back in the saucepan and cook until most of the liquid is gone again. and VIOLA! sauce!
I like to freeze these in silicone ice cube trays in advance it takes 2 cubes to cover the pizza. Freezing sauces in ice cube trays and storing in plastic bags for later works fantastic when you are in a hurry.
Next here's my recipe for my homemade pizza dough
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tblsp yeast
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp salt
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
disolve sugar and yeast in the water. Mix in oil, salt and 1 cup of flour mix 1 minute. stir in enough of the remaining flour to make dough leave the side of the bowl. cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until double. Divide into 3 and there is your homemade dough. Trust me it's better that way than store bought. Enjoy!
