Pizza Friday!

For about 4 years (my oldest is almost 5) we have made Friday, Pizza Friday. We usually purchase fresh made dough from a local fresh market or Trader Joe's. I have made dough myself but it's so much quicker to buy someone else's labor! The girls usually do a pizza then I make a mom and dad pizza. I usually purchase whole wheat pizza and sometimes white dough for the kids.
I have made homemade sauce with some fresh grated pecorino cheese mixed in. But usually I rely on the pizza sauce that my grandma always used - Pastorelli!

Tonight's pizzas -
Kids pizza - sauce, pepperoni, oregano and garlic powder, mixed cheese (mozzerella, cheddar and monteray)


Adult pizza (kids will eat this too) - sauteed onions and baby bella mushrooms, fresh grated parmasan, black pepper, kalamata olives



We make dog biscuits out of the left over dough.....the kids have fun rolling and making the doggie treats.


 I use regular pizza pans, sprayed with olive oil spray or wiped with olive oil. My Uncle Frank always pour a little bit of olive oil before spreading out the sauce too. 

I will post a recipe for my grandma's pizza dough recipe soon!
