Looking for a recipe to make homemade pizza... have used the Jiffy?

Question

brand crust mix..just wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks! :)

Answer 1

My kids love to make homemade pizza. We get the store bought biscuits and each child rolls their own out to make individual mini pizzas. Then I have all their favorite toppings layed out for them to choose. For the sause I use any brand of tomato sause and add a couple table spoons of chili seasoning mix to each regular size can of sause...yes chili mix it adds a great flavor. By making the mini pizzaz it lets everyone make just what they like plus it's fun and gets everyone involved. Bake the mini pizzas at 375 for 7-11 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Answer 2

Pizza Dough
1 package yeast or 2 ¼ tsp.
1 tsp. sugar
2 Tbs. oil (EVOO works the best)
1 cup warm water
¾ tsp. salt (kosher salt works the best)
3 cups flour
1/4 cup shortening
Proof yeast in warm water. Put half of the flour in a bowl with the salt. Pour yeast and water on flour. Mix lightly. Add oil. Add remaining flour a little at a time until the dough is no longer tacky and mix well. Let dough rest of 5 minutes. Work in the shortening. Lightly flour the counter and knead until dough is shiny and elastic. Put in bowl and cover. Let rise until double in size.
This is the best combination of cheeses on a pizza: Mozzarella, Romano, Parmesan, Asiago, Feta, and Ricotta. All you need is some sauce and fresh basil and is does not get much better than that.

Answer 3

6 cups of flour, 2 packages of rapid rise yeast (easier the the type you have to dissolve), tea salt, tabl sugar, 1 egg and 2 cups of water. I mix it all together let it rise for 15/20 minuets. You can cut it in half, the whole recipe makes a lot, I have feed 11 people with the whole recipe.

Answer 4

A lot of grocery stores have in their deli area already made pizza dough way better than Jiffy pizza dough my mother used to use that when we were kids and it tastes like they are on biscuits..... I also make stromboli with the dough I buy like roast beef and american cheese, pepperoni and mozzarella with onions mushrooms etc.just roll it up and put slits across, very easy to make............if you have a bread machine you can also make it....it will rise it and all ......

I usually get either a crust from my local pizzaria or Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust but you can make your own dough...below is a pizza recipe too.
