A Tale Of Two Pizzas- Pepperoni and Indian Inspired Curry Pizza

 I make two 10x15 inch pizzas for one supper for my family.
Start with one recipe of basic pizza dough. I like to make the dough the night before I make the pizzas. The dough will rise slowly in the fridge. It will be perfect after rising in the fridge in about 24 hours. ( the times are flexible, anywhere from 10-24 hrs in the fridge or 1-1.5 hours at room temperature should be good, the dough should have doubled in size)
Remove the dough from the fridge for 30-60 minutes. It should warm up a bit before it does in the pan.

Place the dough into the pan and deflate it. Gently press it out to the sides being careful not to tear it. Be patient, eventually it will reach out to the corners.

Pepperoni Pizza

Now that the dough is in the pan lets work on one pizza at a time. First the pepperoni. My boys are purists. They like their pizza rather plain.

Mix one small can of tomato sauce with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp oregano.
Spread the tomato sauce on the dough. Cover the entire surface.

Lay slices of pepperoni on top of sauce.

Cover with grated mozzarella cheese.

That is all that my kids like on their pizza. You can add whatever your family likes.

They adore pizza for breakfast. We usually have leftovers.

Watch me make it on YouTube. 

Indian Inspired Curry Pizza

Now for the grown-ups pizza.


Combine 1 cup of prepared butter chicken sauce, half of a can of coconut milk and one tsp honey.

Spread the curry sauce over the dough.

Put chopped onion, chopped green pepper, pineapple, fresh baby spinach, banana pepper rings, grated cheddar and grated mozzarella cheese.

We kept our pizza vegetarian, you may add cooked chicken if you would like.

Place pizzas in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the crust has browned lightly.

Sooooo tasty!
