Superbowl Recipe Mashup

Hey all you sports fans and foodies! As you know the Superbowl is coming up in one week, even if you don't watch football all year it seems the Superbowl is the one football we can all stomach. And I say this because its just as much about the food and the beer, as it is the actual game. I've gone through and pulled out some recipes from previous blog posts for you to browse for YOUR Superbowl party. Some people might look at these recipes and think "Not Superbowl worthy", but you don't have to eat only Deep fried wings and nachos, not saying people don't enjoy those things because I certainly do, but why not add something a little different to the mix too!?

Perfect Pizza Crust Recipe

Tonight for supper I am making homemade PIZZA! One of hubby and Charlee's favorites and MY absolute favorite recipe for Pizza Crust, it always turns out perfectly. So I decided to share with you my Perfect Pizza Crust. Although not the kind of entertaining recipe I usually post, it can be used for entertaining beer drinkers on a Friday Night or hungry sports fans.

Works Pizza w/ one slice of just cheese ...a la Bre.

Perfect Pizza Crust-Dad's Recipe

1 1/4 c warm water

1 1/2 tsp yeast

1 tbsp honey

2 3/4 c flour

1 tsp salt

2 tsp Olive Oil

Dissolve honey in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over top and let sit for 5-10 minutes

when it bubbles like this, you know its working

Combine remaining ingredients in the bowl of your kitchen aid. Add water and mix. Make sure your mixer or hand mixer is fitted with the dough hook or attachments (those little swirly ones that come with hand mixers). Of course you can also use a wooden spoon and good ole fashioned muscle!

Mix until it no longer sticks to the side of the bowl and then an additional 3-4 minutes. In the kitchen aid the dough should almost "slap" against the bowl. To check your dough tear off a little piece and carefully stretch to form a "window" (dough stretches so thin WITHOUT tearing you can see through it) If the dough tears before forming a window you need to continue mixing or kneading. 

When the dough is done place in a lightly oiled bowl, and flip so all sides are oiled. Put the bowl in a warm area to rise until doubled.

sometimes it more than doubles! But dont worry you can also FREEZE this dough! Another reason its so PERFECT!!!

Punch, spread and add toppings.

Bake for 20 minutes @400 degrees.

This recipe will make 2 regular pizza crusts, 3 thin crust pizzas or one thick Stuffed crust pizza. 

Tonight I am making a works pizza for the family, with one slice of just cheese for the Princess. My works includes Italian sausage meat (sausage without the casing, you can buy small packages at sobeys) , bacon, mushrooms, red pepper, onions and tomatoes! I currently have tomato sauce simmering with spices on the stove to use instead of can sauce and then I will top it with mozza and marble cheese! Yummm  

I will be updating this post with pictures later today, SO CHECK BACK!!
