It is Friday and that means it is pizza night in the Wagasky home. This has been a go to recipe lately. It is super quick and can be made either completely homemade or semi-homemade.....perfect for all you busy mama jamas out there. Grab your littles and make some pizza tonight. It is only the coolest way to spend a Friday:)
French Bread Pizza
1 French loaf (or make your own...recipe below)
1 cup spaghetti sauce
2-3 cups mozzarella cheese
4 oz. Pepperoni
*be sure to add additional toppings to
your grocery list if using them
Slice your french loaf into half
lengthwise. You will now have two French loaves for making pizza. Top
your loafs will spaghetti sauce, cheese, and any other toppings you
may be using. It’s good to be a little stingy with the sauce,
since you’re putting tomato sauce onto a very porous surface, and
if you are heavy-handed with the sauce, your pizza will be on the
soggy end of things. Bake at 400' for 10-15 minutes, or until the
crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.

By
Hand Directions-
In
a mixing bowl, combine the hot water with 1 cup of flour. Add the
yeast, sugar, salt, and oil to your mixing bowl. Whisk together to
make a “spongy” dough. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Grease a baking
sheet.
Add
another 1 ½ cups of flour to the spongy dough and stir with wooden
spoon. Then, knead in 2 tablespoons of flour at a time, until the
dough can be handled easily and kneaded into a long loaf. Place one
long loaf (or two shorter loaves) on a greased baking sheet. Cut
diagonal 1-inch long slits along the top of the loaf. Set the loaf
aside and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour in a warm place.
Preheat your oven to 350'. Bake the loaf for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. Slice the loaf when it has partially cooled.
