RECIPE OF THE MONTH | OCTOBER 2020

Homemade Pizza

One of the most universally loved foods, pizza is incredibly versatile. It’s a great way to use up those last bits of miss-matched cheeses, that little bit of extra sauce, and leftovers that wouldn’t be enough for a soup. You’d be surprised how little you need to make an amazing pizza. The raw dough can be refrigerated or frozen and will keep nicely.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1& 1/2 cups warm water

• 2 tsps honey

• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

• 4 cups of flour

• 2& 1/2 tsps sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large bowl combine water, honey, and yeast and let stand 3min.

3. Add 1/3 cup of the flour mixture to the yeast mixture at a time, starting with a spoon and then later with hands as it gets thicker.
