Every Friday night we have pizza. Sometimes it’s homemade pizza at home, and sometimes it’s leftover pizza from my inlaw’s school. My favorite is the homemade. It’s funny how things change. For years I hated homemade pizza. Now I love it. I think it’s the crust.
Over the years we’ve tried several crust recipes, from whole wheat to low carb to just basic white. Even though we prefer whole wheat baked goods for almost everything else, this recipe using all purpose white flour is still my favorite. I got it from a college friend my freshman year in college. I think it’s from the Betty Crocker cookbook but I’m not entirely sure.
Homemade Pizza
Makes 2 9×13 crusts
2 Tbsp active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
4 Tbsp oil
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
5 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 400. Dissolve yeast in warm water in mixer bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Beat well. Let rest 5 minutes.
Pat crust into well-greased pan and top with pizza sauce, desired toppings (our favorites are mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage), and cheese.
Bake at 400 for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned.
thanks for posting this. I’ve been having trouble with the crust recipe we use and am frankly getting sick of it. I’ll try this one tho!
No problem. I hope it works as well for you as it does for us. We love it.
Oh thanks for the recipe!!!!!! We are going to make it, maybe tomorrow or Friday! The girls are excited cause they LOVED yours when we were there last.
BTW did Stephen get to look at that other computer? The girls are wanting to get on “their own”.
Also loved y’all’s family picture. We need to get one of us soon.
Love Ya,

Sent you an email. Did you ever make the pizza?
Thanks for posting your recipe. I’m not crazy about the one I’ve been using, so I’ll try this next time!!
