A few nights ago for dinner we had homemade personal pizzas. I think this is one of my favorite meals (I haven't gotten a unanimous vote on that yet...) and it really doesn't take much time or ingredients.
Here's a step by step for my pizza:
To start with I use 1/2 lb of ground turkey and add in some yummy spices
This I make a little ahead of the rest so that it can set for a while in the fridge to hopefully absorb the spices.
Then I use 1 can of tomato soup and add spices to it to make the pizza sauce (by using one whole can, I have pizza sauce for at least 3 more times of having pizza). Mix it well and put in fridge to absorb the flavor, along with the turkey.
Then I cube some cheese to shred in my food processor.
I put the cheese in my gallon zip lock bag that I've been reusing for months now, in the fridge, until it is time to put the pizzas together. Oven is set to preheat @ 450*F.
Then I assemble the ingredients for the crust. I use Flax Seed Meal to give it a little extra flavor and texture. That gallon ziplock bag on the left is what is left of my white/red whole wheat flour. I'm mixing flours this time :)
I mix the one cup water with 1 'package' dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp) and one tsp sugar. And let it set for ten minutes.
Then I mix the 2 1/2 cups of flour with maybe 1/2 tsp salt.
By then the yeast is ready.
I add it and 1 TBS of oil to the flour and mix.
After it is mixed, it needs to set for 5 minutes. Then I brown the ground turkey.
I oil my cookie sheets and sprinkle a bit of cornmeal on them. Then I separate the dough into four semi-equal pieces, flatten them into rounds and place on cookie sheets.
Then comes the sauce, browned turkey (which now somewhat tastes like sausage but isn't sausage lol), olives and lots of cheese.
They get baked at 450*F for 15-20 minutes. When they come out I use a brush and oil on the edges to soften them just a bit. And wouldn't you know... I forgot to take an after photo...

I'm glad to see that someone else uses cheese other than mozzarella. ;) We enjoy making our own pizzas as well. :) Yum!
