Saturday was Tax Day for hubby and me, it is always a grueling task we do each year, it's one of those things I dislike about being self-employed but it must be done so to make the "joyous" occasion even more "joyful" I do a buffet-style party! It always helps me to have a snack in between totaling up expenses for how much money we spent on office supplies, etc.! For this year's party theme, I decided to make a pizza! I love making my own pizzas and you can read all about that in one of my previous posts. I start out with Pillsbury pizza dough and this time, I chose the thin crust and since I had a coupon for $1 off, I couldn't resist buying it! It works so wonderful, easy to use with a little flour and my pizza stone does the rest of the work!
I also decided to make my own spaghetti sauce rather than buy the jar for $3 at the store. I added a little cheese because as you know too much cheese doesn't like me much! I added a little chopped green onion, some Italian dried herbs and the pepperoni and TA DA - my own pepperoni pizza! It was so good too ya'll! Of course we didn't finish all our tax files so it looks like we'll need another day and I'll need to come up with another buffet theme for that!
Ingredients:
1 pkg. of turkey pepperoni
cheese (your choice)
1 can of Pillsbury Thin Crust pizza dough
1 can of tomato sauce
5 or 6 squeezes of ketchup
dried pizza seasonings
All-purpose flour
Dried oregano
Dried margarim
Dried basil
1 finely chopped green onion
lemon pepper
pizza stone
cayenne pepper (optional)
Preparation:
I use some flour to work the dough, but I don't overdo it. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. I spread the dough over my pizza stone and then place in the oven to get just lightly golden brown. While the dough is in the oven, I prepare the sauce. In a big bowl, combine ketchup, tomato sauce, dried herbs, pepper to taste. I add a little cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick. Stir together and set aside.
Once the dough comes out of the oven, pour the sauce over it and layer the pizza with cheese, green onions, and pepperoni. I sprinkle a bit of dried parsley on top and place pizza back into oven until the pepperoni is done and the cheese melts. Serve hot!
