welcome! two things have inspired us to create this blog. the first is that our friend colleen gave us a subscription to a cooking magazine with some great recipes. then we made a new year's resolution to eat at home more often. so this is just a fun way to share the recipes we try and the interesting events that always occur for us when cooking is involved.

pizza crust recipe

so even though pizza isn't the best thing to eat (what with the amount of bread and cheese therein) we can't seem to shake it. the next best thing, then, is to make it at home. we've been trying different recipes - the last one went way wrong - and this one seems just right. we used wheat flour and it even works for calzones.

Oven 400 Degrees
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup water
1 tbsp cooking oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare pizza pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
Add liquids and stir to incorporate dry ingredients.
Knead dough by hand 6-8 times on a lightly floured surface.
Roll dough thinly.
Place rolled dough onto prepared pizza pan, add favorite sauce and toppings.
Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes, depending on crust thickness.
