Pizza in a Hurry (No delivery needed)

Pizza is the stand-by of the single person as well as those in a hurry for something filling and tasty. The best part about pizza is that when you make it at home you can make it ANY way you want it. Piled high with pepperoni, or completely veggie covered, tomato sauce or garlic butter, American cheese, cheddar, mozzarella or no cheese at all. ( some people are strange!)

This is a recipe that I learned from my Gramma via my uncles. It's one of those little recipes that my snooty chef of a father never truly approved of, so he never made it himself, so I had to find my own secrets to this recipe. If you like a thin and crispy crust, this isn't the pizza that you want to make. There is no way to make this crust thin and crispy. It's a good, tasty crust, but it is always thick. This pie is great with a big glass of milk. It's the best way to eat it in fact. So grab your Pizza fixin's and get the party started!

Ingredients:

2 cups Flour
1Tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup Milk
Your favorite Pizza Toppings

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Put dry ingredients in a bowl and stir together

Add milk and oil, and quickly mix with wooden spoon until all liquid is absorbed, continue kneading by hand until all dry ingredients are worked into the dough.

Lightly oil a 12 inch pizza pan and roll dough out to the edges.

Once dough is evenly spread across the pan you can tope it with your favorite pizza stuff. when you have it ready, place in hot oven on center rack and set timer for 20 minutes.

When the timer chimes check bottom of crust by lifting an egde with a metal spatula, when it is evenly medium-browned it is done.

Allow to set for 5 minutes before cutting.

Cut and serve.

EAT IT!!

After thoughts:

You may use whole milk or 2%, but nothing thinner, the milk fat helps the dough structure, and skim or 1% doesn't have the fat needed for this purpose.

Don't pile the toppings too deep, or you crust will not cook through. Or you will over cook the bottom to get the top cooked.

This is a great pizza to make with kids because they don't have to wait long for results.

This pizza is great cold if you like cold pizza. the crust stays tender and doesn't get chewy like Yeast crust.
