Pizza is better homemade!

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.



*This recipe is for a basic pork sausage pizza. You can use different toppings you like.



Ingredients:



  • 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.



Dough



Ingredients:



  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 package dry yeast (dissolved in the warm water)



Instructions:



  1. Mix the ingredients together and let rise for 1 1/2 hours.
  2. Knead all the flour you can work into it, and let it rise until it is ready for use, or at least 1/2 hour.
  3. Roll the dough out thin. It should be enough for 3 pizza pans.



Sauce



Ingredients:



  • 1 can tomato sauce (6 ounces)
  • 1 can tomato paste (6 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oregeno
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)



Instructions:



  1. Mix the ingredients well in a bowl and set to the side. You can warm the sauce in a pan if you want the oregeno to stand out more.
  2. Divide the sauce and spread evenly over the pizza dough.
  3. Place the sausage pieces evenly over the sauce and then top with shredded cheese.
  4. Bake the pizza at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.



Keep on cooking!

Beagle Finds Baby Rabbits


 


Zoe has two dogs. A female beagle and a chihuahua. The chihuahua is about half rat terrier and half regular chihuahua. The two really are a pair. Bella lays on the couch and Odie lays on top of her and he can't hold his licker. He loves to lick the couch or Bella's ear.

The other day I took Bella out for a walk in the yard. She loves to sniff for everything. She has to be on a leash when out because she will let her nose take her away on a scent. She loves to ride in the car and would make a great hunting dog.

While she was sniffing on the ground she found a baby rabbit nest. I didn't know it until it was too late. I noticed she was sticking her nose in the background and quickly snatched a baby rabbit from the nest. The baby rabbit let out a little squeal and Bella dropped the baby. Immediately four other baby rabbits ran from the next. I pulled Bella away and took her inside the house.

I went back outside to see the babies. I had a quick thought to get a couple of baby rabbits and show them to my two daughters that were at home at the time. It was a dad move for me because I wanted to see my girls smile while holding the cute little rabbits.

I took one to Zoe my youngest daughter and then one to Jewell my second daughter. They were elated. It was a cuteness overload and I enjoyed them enjoying the baby rabbits.

I was worried the momma rabbit would not return the babies after being touched by humans. Zoe looked at videos on YouTube to learn how to take care of the babies. She made a box with some greens and water. After researching, the girls decided to put the babies back in the nest.

That night they said the momma rabbit was out by the nest. Then today I saw one of the tiny rabbits roaming around the same area. I can only assume they are doing well. I didn't bother the nest again.

I might have done the wrong thing by taking two of the rabbits for the girls to hold but it was worth it to see their smiles. As far as I can tell the baby rabbits are doing well.
