now that's a pizza!

Homemade pizza is always so good, especially on a Friday night. We enjoyed this tasty spinach, basil, tomato, and goat cheese pizza while watching a movie and drinking Hansen's root beer.

Ultimate Pizza Dough

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons yeast

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Mix water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl
3. Proof yeast
4. Add olive oil
5. In a separate bowl, mix 3 cups of flour (saving 1 cup) and salt

Light and Creamy Pizza Sauce
For the sauce, I used a can of diced tomatoes, a garlic and herb seasoning mix, oregano, and sour cream. I mixed them all up in my Magic Bullet (you'll be hearing a lot about it!).

Finishing Touches
I spread the sauce on the pizza dough, added a layer of spinach and fresh basil. Next came the tomato slices and finally, the goat cheese and a bit of ground pepper.
