Yesterday we spent the day with friends at the splash pad. I didn't remember to set out any meat to thaw and didn't have a plan for dinner, so around 2pm I started brainstorming and realized we had all ingredients for simple pizza--except for the crust! I typically buy flatbread for our pizza from Aldi and you can find that recipe HERE, but alas, I was flatbreadless and needed to come up with another plan. I found this dough recipe by Sugar Spun Run and knew I had all ingredients to try it. It turned out to be a toddler friendly recipe and Leighton dumped nearly all ingredients in the bowl and helped to knead it as well. You could make a double batch and set up a little pizza bar with multiple toppings for a pizza party--so simple and fun!
Here is the recipe I used:
2 Cups all purpose flour (With a little more to reach right consistency)
1 Packet Instant yeast (approx 2 1/4 tsp)
1 1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder (I used a bit more) and dried basil leaves.
2 TBSP olive oil + more to coat second bowl
3/4 cup warm water
Recipe:
Combine 1 Cup of the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in bowl. Add garlic and basil if you like those flavors.
Add olive oil and warm water and mix well with wooden spoon.
Gradually add second cup of flour until a cohesive elastic ball is formed. It will be slightly sticky but form in your hands.
Drizzle second bowl with olive oil and wipe up the sides.
Place dough in second bowl and roll around to coat with olive oil.
Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place in warm spot.
Let dough rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425* and once dough is ready, roll out onto floured surface (or make 2 balls and roll out like we did.)
Fold edges over to form crust. Brush with a little more olive oil on both pizza and crust. Poke several holes with a fork on the pizza.
Add desired toppings and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
That's it!
I hope you enjoy this recipe.
With heart from our home,
Jordan
