Pizza Night

Pizza is an absolute must in our home and we have it almost every week. In the summer, we made homemade pizza at least once a week and now that we’re dealing with school and work, we usually go to Little Caesar’s for their EMB (Extra Most Bestest / $6) Pizza, so when we finally have some down time, we make homemade pizza.

Here are the recipes I use for the crust and the pizza sauce.

I also made a rice flour crust for my brother who is allergic to wheat. I usually buy the pizza crust mix made by Bob’s Red Mill but since we were making pizza spontaneously, I just used rice flour and a little bit of xanthan gum and used this recipe as reference. Turned out okay and my brother satisfied a craving so I guess it all worked out!

Beware: It does create a sticky crust and I was afraid it wasn’t going to come off the pan so I used foil and sprayed a bunch of Pam on it just to make sure.

We’re still trying to find the best recipe for the crust. I’m trying to find the closest thing to Pizza Hut’s pan crust.. but as we all know, the best tasting food usually has the unhealthiest of ingredients, so for now these recipes will suffice!

Next time: sourdough pizza dough!
