pizza with friends!!!

Last Thursday me and my friends we decided to have pizza! and which is the best pizza in town? of course the pizza that we made !

so, I used the unbleached all propose flour, and the dry yeast( two bags or 2 tsps), mix the yeast with a table spoon of sugar and add warm water in a big cup (not hot water ) , let it be for 10 minutes about. Then in a mixing bowl put 4-5 cups of flour, spices that you like ( I add cumin, nutgmet,garlic powder) and salt. 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the yeast that has alreadyrose. Mix the dough till there is no flour left in the bowl, (add more flour or water if it needs), it have to be soft/medium dough. Take a bigger bowl pour some warm water in and use it as a bain-marie for the the bowl with the dough. Cover it with a kitchen towel till will be double size in a bout 40 minutes.
then use a thin long rolling pin ( you can find one in Lowe's in the department with the wood supplies). take a hand full of the dough place it on the clean surface,powder with some flour so it is not sticky on the rolling pin and roll it to the size you want. Then place it in the baking pan or the stone, ( I use the racks from the oven with the baking paper on) ,spread  the sauce and the toppings. You can use mozzarella cheese or your favorite one. Mozzarella is not fat at all, and doesn't cover the flavors of the toppings)
 (to make the sauce use a big can of tomato sauce a big well chopped onion and a clove of garlic, fresh basil( 1 tsp) pepper and salt, olive oil and red wine (1/2 cup), oregano, let the ingredients to cook for 30 minutes at least, or check my tomato sauce post!)
Bake the pizzas in a hot oven about 400, till it is brown under and the cheese melted on the top. If you put pineapple, mix it with some garlic.
Good luck!! My friend Andrea and Shauna love that pizza!! anyway there is no butter in there at all, and normal size family pizza its only something like 1340 calories!!
for dessert we had Creme brulee, homemade of course
