What's for dinner?

Caramel popcorn and frozen corn dogs. Not exactly what you'd expect for someone who loves to cook but sometimes you just have to let your cravings have their way.

We did have homemade pizza for lunch today with possibly the easiest and best thin crust I've ever made.

2 ½ tsp yeast
¼ t. sugar
¾ cup warm water
1 ¾ cups flour
½.t salt

*Mix, and knead for Dissolve yeast and sugar in water; allow to rest for 8 minutes.
*In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt.
*Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy spoon.
*Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2 minutes.
*Working from the edges to the center, press dough into a 12" circle or onto greased cookie sheet
*Place dough on a lightly greased pizza pan and stretch dough to edges.
*Spread sauce over crust and top with cheese and desired toppings.
*Bake in a 500 degree oven for 8-12 minutes, or until edges are golden.
For a truly crispy crust I oven put the crust in the even for 4 minutes before topping it.


From my freezer I used my preshredded cheese, precooked sausage and frozen pizza sauce
