Christmas Pizzas & Dough Recipe

Every Friday night in our house is pizza & movie night. So for the holiday season I decided it would be fun to do some festive pizzas. I made my regular pizza dough and just shaped it into a snowman and a candy cane. The kids thought it was great! We sat on the family room floor and ate it while watching The Santa Clause. I love making memories with my family. :)

Breadmaker Pizza Dough 

(adapted from food.com)

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to breadmaker in order listed by your manufacturer.
2. Set breadmaker on dough setting.
3. When cycle is done, form crust on a pizza pan which has been lightly greased and sprinkled with cornmeal. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.  Using a fork poke a bunch of holes all over the dough (this helps to keep it from bubbling).
4. Bake 8 minutes at 425 F until light brown.
5. Add sauce and toppings and cook another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
