Homemade Pizza Dough And Sauce Recipe

 

Pizza is better homemade!


>>>See all my recipes here!<<<



Homemade Pizza Dough And Sauce Recipe



Quote For The Day:



"Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself." - Bill Murray



Food For Thought:



Deer and babies



Have you tried venison before? I was born and raised in the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. Here in Missouri, it is common to hunt and eat deer. It is a very sporting part of the country. We live close to Springfield, Missouri. The original Bass Pro is located in Springfield. If you get a chance to visit Springfield, you will enjoy the Bass Pro store.



The above picture was taken yesterday with my phone. I couldn't get a clear picture because the deer were far away. It was a doe and her two babies. They were in the city and in that area it is common to see deer often.



Some people have never tried venison. Those who have eaten deer meat either like it or don't. Venison has a gamey taste but is healthier than beef because it is lean. Deer eat acorn and wild vegetation and that caused the gamey flavor.



Would you be interested in venison recipes? I have some I can share with you. Please let me know in the comment section below. The most common way to cook venison in my area is to fry it in oil. I grew up watching my grandmother and mother batter and fry deer meat in a skillet on top of the stove. You can tenderize deer meat.



A Few Questions For You:



  • Have you made completely homemade pizza before?
  • What is your favorite pizza to eat?
  • Do you like anchovies?
  • When you buy cooked pizza, what is your favorite place to purchase pizza?
  • Did you see my recipe from yesterday? It is called Fudge Bake Happiness Recipe. It would go well with pizza for dessert. Take a look and let me know what you think about it.



More Information For You:



Rumor has it that pizza comes from Italy. Farmers would cook pizza in outdoor wood-fired ovens. They topped their pizzas with cheese. Pizza dates back to the 18th century. The first pizza store opened in America in 1905 in New York City. Since then, pizza has gained popularity among Americans. To learn more history and facts about pizza, visit Pete's Brewhouse.

Thoughts On Homemade Pizza:



Homemade pizza tastes better than storebought pizza, and better than frozen pizza for sure. Homemade pizza gives me the opportunity to make it exactly how I want it. I can make the dough, add the amount of sauce I want, and put the toppings of my choice.



I have made pizza from the box and it was good but making homemade pizza from scratch has a different taste. It is more satisfying too because I know I made the whole pizzy myself. Kids love the making process of pizza and it gives them an opportunity to create a food that they normally see the pizza already made for them.



This recipe is categorized under Italian Food but it is very American. Most people in America love pizza and it works well for any fun occasion because it is easy to eat.



Homemade Pizza Dough And Sauce Recipe - (Italian Food)



I have had a pizza oven for many years. It cooks great! I have cooked jalapeno pepper poppers, french fries, and even chicken wings on my pizza oven. It is electric and works great. You might be interested in having your own electric pizza oven.

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage (lean)
  • 1 pound Mozzerella cheese (shredded)



Instructions:



  1. Cook the ground pork in a skillet and set aside on a towel to drain the grease.
  2. Shred the Mozzerella cheese. You can use package shredded cheese.

  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 package dry yeast (dissolved in the warm water)

  • 1 can tomato paste (6 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oregeno
  • 1 1/2 cups water

  4. Bake the pizza at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.

Peppermint Ice Cream Homemade Recipe

Delicious in warm weather!


Peppermint Ice Cream Homemade Recipe - (Cool Treats)

Ingredients:

  • Peppermint candy (27 ounces, cracked into small pieces)
  • 2 quarts half & half
  • 1-quart heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Soak the peppermint candy pieces overnight in the half & half. The next day, place the mixture in a blender. cover and blend well. Add the heavy whipping cream. Freeze in a 1-gallon ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve and enjoy!


Thoughts On Peppermint Ice Cream:

Homemade ice cream is fun to make and the kids can get involved in the making process. When my daughters were growing up I would get out the old hand crank ice cream maker and have them crank the ice cream. They would take turns. They seemed to enjoy it and today they talk about making ice cream when they were little. This recipe does not have sugar in it but if you find it is not sweet enough for you then you can add a little sugar.

More Information For You:

Do you know the history of peppermint? Peppermint is one of the most popular flavors at Christmas time in America but it is also a favorite flavor during the whole year too. You can date peppermint back to 1500 B.C. It was used in many different ways. Peppermint is also healthy for your body. Learn more about the history of peppermint by visiting Cheryl's article called The History of Peppermint: How a Mediterranean Herb Became the Unofficial Flavor of Christmas.

A Few Questions For You:

  • Are you a peppermint fan?
  • In what ways have you used peppermint for cooking?
  • When you hear the word "peppermint" what is the first thing that comes to mind?
  • What is your favorite peppermint food?
  • Did you see my recipe from yesterday? It is called the Peach-A-Berry Cobbler Recipe. Let me know your thoughts on it in the comment section below.

My Thoughts For Today:

Our new ice cream maker!

This ice cream maker has replaced the old hand-crank maker, which is nice to use. I ordered it from Amazon and got a pretty good deal on it. It is easier than turning the ice cream with my arm. It is convenient to purchase ice cream from the store but when making homemade ice cream you can experiment with different recipes. Chocolate ice cream is always a favorite for me but this peppermint recipe is perfect too. It is starting to get warmer outside and it is lots of fun to operate this ice cream maker for the warm holiday. The fourth of July is coming soon and we always like to make ice cream for dessert.

Do you enjoy homemade ice cream? What is your favorite flavor? Share your ice cream experience with me.

Keep on cooking!
