Pizza lesson

Well all my new friend ask me to teach them to cook real Italian food, and for me it's difficult , because i don't consider my self very good at cooking.. so some times we have some get together and we cook , this time we did pizza from scratch, everyone liked it so that makes me happy. and since two of my friends are going to move away from here we had to do it soon. I just hope you like it like we did.

for the Dough :

2 tee spoons of  Active dry yeast

half glass of  warm water

2-1/2 cups of water 

2-3 tee spoons of salt

3 cups of flour

1 cup of wheat flour

1/4 cup olive oil

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, then put it in the mixer add the olive oil and the salt ,add the 4 cups of flour slowly and the water, mix  everything until it is nice and soft but not sticky

 if you need add some more flour , but in little quantities   you don't want the dough to hard , it need to be nice and soft, when it is nice and done, take it out , put it in a bowl covered with a cotton cloth  and put it in a war place,( ex. turn on the oven and put the bowl on top of the stove so the heat that the oven will put out it will heat up the bowl ), when 1 Hr. is gown by you  can take the dough and put it on a smooth top and divide it with a knife in 3 pieces, set 2 aside and one of them you will half to roll it flat  really thin, then put it in a pan (non stick )and start adding the sauce , to make the sauce you will need : 

1 can ,14 oz. of Contadina tomato sauce

1 tee spoon of salt 

1 tee spoon of dry oregano 

1 table spoon of olive oil

Mix everything together and it is done.

Oven at 400 f. until you like it.

 

then add the cheese that you like the meats and if you like make one with veggies, well i love pizza because you can put any thing you like, i love mine with fresh tomatoes just sliced and basil and when i take it out of the oven , i add a little of olive oil so for that extra kick. well i hope you like it, ciao to all of you , your Italian friend Dolly.
