My kids favorite pizza

My kids love, love "Dipping Pizza" as they call it. They eat it so well and they ask for it all the time.

Pizza Crust

1 pkg yeast ( 2 1/4 tsp.)

1/4 c warm water

Let sit together in a bowl until yeast has dissolved. 5-10 minutes.

In a large bowl:


2 1/2 c flour (I use half white and half whole wheat)
1 tsp salt
2 TB olive oil
2 TB honey
3/4 c cold water
yeast/water mixture

Mix together and knead until gluten is well developed and the bread looks smooth on the outside. This takes about 10 minutes.


Place in an oiled bowl until doubled in size.


Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll them into 2 long rectangular pieces. Place your cheese and toppings down the middle of the pizza. Then make slices on either side of the dough. Once you have done that, then you will bring a slice from each side and tie the dough together. (See the picture and you will understand.)






Place on a cookie sheet and cook at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Cut into slices.

For those on a dairy-free diet like me, I don't put cheese on part of the pizza for me, and I still think it tastes okay.

Then while the pizza is cooking, start your pizza sauce for dipping. Unfortunately, I just "wing-it" with the spices, so I don't really have a recipe for it.
2 small cans of tomato sauce


Garlic powder
Onion powder
Basil
Oregano
Parsley
Pepper

I use twice as much garlic and oregano compared to everything else.


Serve the pizza with the sauce and with other finger foods like carrots and grapes. Yum!
