Our favorite Pizza Recipes

You can see something fun we did for Halloween with these recipes here: Crazy House Creations

Mom’s Pizza Dough

½ cup warm tap water

2 pkg. yeast (2 ¼ tsp = 1 pkg)

1 tsp sugar

Combine in bowl and set aside.

1 cup scalded milk (90 seconds in my microwave does the trick)

1 tsp. salt

3 Tbl. sugar

½ cube margarine

3 ½ cups flour (I sometimes use 1 cup wheat and the rest white)

Combine milk, salt, sugar and margarine. Add 2 cups flour and mix. Add yeast mix and remaining flour. Mix until dough ball forms. (I usually add some extra flour since it is pretty sticky.)

Spread pizza dough out onto 1 large cookie sheet for a thick crust, or 2 pans for a thin crust. Bake 8 minutes at 425°. Add sauce and toppings. Bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Melissa's Pizza Sauce as I remember it :)

1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)
minced garlic (1-2 cloves)
minced onion (to taste)
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Muffins

I've seen the recipe on several blogs and it is really fool proof.

Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Muffins

1 box spice cake mix
1 15 oz. can pumpkin (or half of one of those big cans)
Mix together, spoon into muffin cups - greased or paper-lined, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

I did add a little milk to mine because they seemed a little too thick to spoon out. I also discovered a cookie scoop works wonders for filling the muffin liners neatly and quickly.

Oh, and aren't these little owl papers adorable? I love them! I got mine at Wal-Mart.
