Homemade Pizza!
Homemade Pizza is really simple and can be a fun Friday night activity for the whole family! This makes enough dough for 4 personal size pizzas, one medium/one personal size, or one large pizza. The picture above is Noah’s favorite- stuffed crust pizza with pesto sauce and mozzarella cheese. We butter our crust and dust with Lawry’s Garlic Salt for an extra punch of flavor. My personal favorite is BBQ Pizza made with my smoked pork butt and The Bomb BBQ Sauce. Create whatever combinations your heart desires!
