Home made Pizza Pie

 Back in the 1950s when Pizza hit America by storm everyone called it Pizza Pie.

Simple basic ingredients, heres my recipe:1 and 1/2  CUP WARM WATER (105 to 115 degrees)1  TABLESPOON YEAST3  TABLESPOONS  OLIVE OIL 1  TABLESPOON SALT1 TABLESPOON HONEY4 CUPS OF ALL PURPOSE FLOUR

Cover and let rise in a warm place.If your house is on the cool side, turn the oven on for a few minutes, then turn it back off, and  set your bowl in. let rise for 1  1/2  hours or so.

The dough will at least double in size.

I love punching it down after it rises. Doesnt that look good?It smells good too!

 

Now its time to have fun!

Putting corn meal on the wooden peel keeps the dough from sticking.

I would love to be able to toss the dough but it would take a lot of practice and I dont make pizza often enough.

Marinara sauce.Mozzarella and turkey pepperoni, sweet basil leaves right out of our garden. We will add cheddar cheese,black olives and mushrooms.

We have a pizza stone on the Grilla pellet grill. We are at 550 degrees.

Wow does that ever look and smell good.

YUM!!!!

For the second pie we have garlicky hamburger, mozzarella, basil, black olives and mushrooms.

Such beauty!

In it goes for 10 -12 minutes.

Double YUM!!

Grab a plate and lets eat! Thanks for stopping by my blog.Please leave a comment.(I hope this made you hungry)

Dollar Saving Ideas

How do you like my utensil rack.An old garden rake makes a great place to hang your equipment or pot holders.  

I built these lamp holders out of scrap fencing and inserted those little solar garden stakes.  They dont give a lot of light, but they do light your pathchoice and provide a nice ambiance. 

Just another view of our solar lights. 

My crafty wife surprised me with this menu board. She used chalkboard paint and built it from scrap fencing and a scrap of plywood. We enjoy using it when we throw a dinner party. 
We have a family motto,"Never throw out scrap lumber",You would be surprised at all the things we have built with wood from our scrap bin. Have a wonderful day!Keep improving your home and making it you,and please leave a comment.Steve
