So I may be biased, but I think my dad is the greatest cook ever! And I know it is those fabulous Wilcox cooking genes. But this is one our fav's! His pizza recipe. I will not take credit for it at all because he 100% made it up. The dough, sauce and all!
Dough:
1 package,or 1 tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 1/2-4 cups flour
Put yeast, warm water and honey in a bowl and let the yeast proof. After proofed, put in mixing bowl with and add salt, olive oil and flour. Knead for a few minutes. Let rise for 1 hour and punch down. Let rise again for 30 minutes and punch down. Split it in half and roll out one of those halves in a cookie sheet, its super hard to transfer. (this recipe makes 2 pizzas). And be liberal with flour while rolling out because it is sticky dough. (we just roll it out on a cookie sheet because we don't have a circle pan. My dad tosses it, but we aren't that tricky).
Sauce:
28 oz. can of tomatoes, Italian style
3 cloves garlic,crushed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. olive oil
Blend the tomatoes so they aren't chunky ( if you bought diced or whole tomatoes). Lightly brown the crushedd garlic in 3 Tbsp olive oil. Add blended tomatoes and cook over med/ high heat. Add the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for a half hour.
To put it together you have you dough rolled out. Put the sauce on, then mozzarella cheese. Then top with your favorite toppings!
Cook for about 10-15ish minutes at 450 degrees. It may be a little shorter then 10 or longer then 15, I can't remember. Just check that the crust is golden and the cheese is all melty.
This is our FAV pizza!
