Pizza Party
When I was a kid I would always have slumber parties. Several of my closest friends would come over and we would all spread out in the den watching movies (mostly Troop Beverly Hills) and those cheesy horror flicks like the Last Slumber Party or Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (yes both real movies). I remember laughing until I cried, telling stories, playing hide n seek and overall just having an amazing time.
My mom would always work so hard to get everything together and especially slaving away in the kitchen. One of the group favorites was her homemade pizza and pizza sauce. We got to make our own pizzas with whatever toppings we liked and make a mess of the kitchen in the process. While it's been years since I've had my mom's homemade pizza I do have her recipe.
Pizza Crust
1 pkg dry yeast 3 tbsp canola oil
1 1/2 cup milk 5 c all purpose flour
1 egg beaten 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c warm water pinch of black pepper
In a bowl place yeast and warm water. Combine in a saucepan milk, salt and oil. bring milk to a lukewarm term. Add 1 egg to the milk. Pour contents of saucepan into the yeast mixture, mix well. Add flour gradually until you make a soft dough. You may not need to add all flour. Knead for 5 mins. Place dough in a well greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size. Punch down the dough, divide dough in half. Roll out dough. Makes 2 pizza crusts.
Pizza sauce
1 qt. tomato juice
1 qt tomato puree
1 small can tom. paste
1 lg onion chopped
1 clove garlic
1/4 c sugar to taste
3 shakes of Worcestershire
1/4 c of wine, any kind (red for the love!)
