First Pizza with homemade sauce and crust

I maybe single but I still like good food, so I am on a search for recipes that will make enough for just me and not leave leftovers that I have to eat all week.

 

My First try at small pizza crust.

 

1 cup flour

1/4 tea. Salt

1/4 tea. Sugar

 

1 tea yeast mixed with 1/3 cup warm water. Let set 5 minutes.

2 tea Olive Oil. In with water .

 

Mix in processor till forms ball.

 

Flour the counter and knead dough for 1 minute.

 

Put in grease boil and set in a warm place until double.

 

So the recipe suggest.

 

But I am hungry so I will let it rise till I get the toppings ready.

 

Tonight I am using a sausage patty, two strips of crispy bacon, bell pepper and black olives my homemade sauce and cheese.

 

I am heating the oven to 500 while I prepare toppings.

 

Baked the pizza at 400 for 25 minutes.

 

The dough rolled out easy and just fit my small cast iron skillet.

 

I used about three tablespoons of sauce in a 9in skillet. I think next time I need more, the sauce got lost in the toppings.

 

The crust baked up well, it was soft and chewy. Not crusty on the bottom like in a pizzeria but my search on the internet said that they use a much hotter oven then the home oven. It was a pretty good crust though.

 

I may try this one again.
