Homemade Pizza

A few months ago David and I had a chef come to the house for cooking lessons. During the lessons he taught us how to make homemade pizza dough and pasta. Since our lesson we have had some leftover dough in the freezer and decided this week would be a perfect time to use it.

We also decided to make a sauce using a tomato puree and adding our own seasoning. We began by cooking some garlic in olive oil and then added the puree. We then seasoned to taste using Italian seasoning, oregano, and salt.

Once we completed the sauce we moved the rolled out pizza dough onto a pizza stone that has been preheated to 450 degrees. We quickly added the sauce, cheese, and toppings we had prepared earlier.

Cooking the pizza

We cooked the pizza at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the cheese and edges were a golden brown.

Our pizza turned out fantastic. Although this isn't one of the healthiest recipes it is a fun splurge every once in a while. And with a whole wheat crust, veggies, and low-fat cheese it isn't the worst meal ever! So enjoy!
