Garlic and Herb Pizza Dough

Image
Friday nights are usually pizza nights for me. I order from a local pizza shop around the corner. However making it at home saves money and can be fun, so I created this Garlic and Herb Pizza Dough for days when I can't make it to the pizza place or if I want a fun activity.  I use fast rise yeast for this recipe because it saves on time by not waiting on the water and yeast to mix. Instead you can take fast rise yeast and mix it together at one time. If you have traditional yeast, you can mix the warm water and yeast and let sit according to the directions.  After mixing the ingredients, I knead the dough for 5 minutes until it can be stretched without breaking.  Then I let the dough rise for at least an hour. I rolled mine out into a rectangle and added homemade pizza sauce from another one of my posts. Then I added vegan cheeze and my toppings.  I bake in the oven with toppings for 15 - 20 minutes at 450 degrees.  See below for the final product with my p

Homemade Pizza Sauce

I am a firm believer that if you can make it homemade, you should. Usually it tastes better and you can control what ingredients go into it. This Homemade Pizza Sauce is super simple with just a few ingredients and the spices can be modified to your own preference.  All you have to do is add the ingredients together and stir until combined. I made mine a little bit spicy by adding additional Crushed Red Pepper, however if you don't like spicy then leave that out.  Please like, share, and follow for more content, and please let me know how you like it!

Sheet Pan Veggies

I have seen a lot of Sheet Pan Veggie recipes on my feed lately, so I thought I would jump on the trend and make my own variation.  I used my favorite veggies - broccoli, red potatoes, carrots, and added some chickpeas -  in a little bit of oil and mixed in some spices.  Then I baked them for 20 minutes covered. I flipped halfway through and baked for an additional 20 minutes uncovered until they were nice and crispy.  I chose to serve my veggies with garlic bread however it would be good on its own or with some rice.  Which veggies would you use in your own sheet pan recipe?
