Pizza Dough You Can Toss {Bread Machine}

When I found this pizza dough recipe at first I was like, “Oh, I don’t need another pizza dough recipe.” But then, I just realized this one had a few less ingredients than the other Pizza Dough Recipe that I usually use, so I decided to give it a shot. When I started rolling it out, something made me pick it up and start stretching it out with my fists and I tossed it up. It tossed beautifully! I was kind-a pumped.

Servings: 1-2 pizzas
Prep Time: 1 and half hours (bread machine time)
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup of warm water
1 tbs. extra virgin olive oil

Bacon Pizza {Homemade}

The other night, I had some cooked bacon that I needed to use before it went bad. I also had some homemade dough in the fridge, so this homemade bacon pizza came to mind. It turned out amazingly! Who doesn’t bacon? Who doesn’t love bacon? I put this pizza down, turned around to get a drink, and there were just 2 pieces left! Next time, I’ll know to make a double batch.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
Fresh dough or refrigerated dough
1 jar of pizza sauce (I use homemade sauce)
