There is something about pizza that makes me relax. Maybe it is because growing up, we always had pizza on Friday nights while we watched TGIF? Oh the memories. Makes me happy. 
These days, regardless of the day of the week, pizza always makes me feel and act like it is the weekend. What more could you want after a Monday than a comforting, relaxing dinner?
We made homemade crust, using Jenna’s recipe for The Best Pizza Dough. It really is up there with the best pizza doughs around. We like to make our crust a bit thicker, a mix between a regular and deep dish style. The dough is soft with a crunchy exterior. So good, and good for you. Why use processed dough or crust when you can easily make yours with ingredients you most likely already have on hand?
Mike loves pizza and has tried pretty much every and any kind, brand, restaurant, etc., there is around. And every time we have homemade pizza using this dough, he raves about it. ‘There just isn’t a better pizza around. Nobody can make a crust like this’. And… ‘Think about what a gold mine it would be if they could sell pizza’s that tasted this good in the store’. Awww, babe.
Pizza toppings include…
- Turkey pepperoni
- Green bell pepper
- Broccoli
- Green onion
- Tomato
- Jalepenos
- Banana peppers
- Mozzerella
- Cheddar
What we do is bake the crust by itself for 5 minutes at 425 degrees. Pull it out, place all the toppings on (sky high if you are at our house), and bake for another 12 minutes. Makes the perfect pizza.
My portion, with ranch and parmesan.
This pizza is filling. With our thick crust and loads of veggies piled high, it does the trick for a grumblig stomach.
What is your favorite comfort food? Salty would probably be baked macaroni and cheese. Sweet would have to be chocolate cake!
That looks fantastic! I love all of the veggies on top. TGIF!!! Ah childhood memories. Hmm favorite comfort food? Gosh…squash anything, squash mac and cheese is awesome too
The pizza looks fantastic girl, love all the great toppings! I really like making pizzas at home too, being able to load up the veggies and not have that greasy feeling makes it such a wonderful comfort go-to
Ahhhh Full House, blast from the past haha. I used to want to be Stephanie SO BAD – well bc we shared names and I think that was about it but whatever, she was so cool in my book 
Such a great nostalgic show!
Mmmm…pizza and dipping sauce. Awesome combo! My favorite comfort food is probably mac and cheese. Homemade. I hardly ever have it but when I do it’s always super indulgent and super satisfying. On a more regular basis my comfort food is probably anything cheesy and melted so pizza definitely qualifys! enjoy your night!
love homemade pizza!
jenna
