Because you make your own little pizzas, you can have topping for everyone.
Pizza dough: (basic Cuisinart recipe)
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2/3 cup warm water (105 to 115°F.)
1 2/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¾ teaspoon salt
1. In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
2. In a bowl combine flour, olive oil and salt. pour the liquid mixture into the bowl. Mix, adding a bit more flour until you are able to knead the dough. Dough may be slightly sticky.
3. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and punch down. Roll into desired crust sizes.
Pizza Sauce:
Sautee 1 small onion, diced and a few cloves of garlic in a large skillet
Add 1 can diced tomatoes and
1 (6 ounce)
can tomato paste
Then, Add 1 tsp (or to taste) Italian Seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Earth Balance soy-free butter
To cook:
Grill one side of the pizza dough. (without any toppings on it yet!)
Add the sauce and toppings to the grilled side of the pizza and then take it back out to the grill to cook the other side. You may also cook it in the oven. (sometimes I like to put it under the broiler for a min or two even after its been grilled) The grill gives the dough a slightly crunchy texture and awesome flavor.
