Pizza Night

It was officially Pizza night at our house this past Friday- don't ask why. We just decided and went a little crazy, steering clear from the mundane when we picked the toppings. It was fun stretching the dough and trying to get them to look like perfect circles. They were not perfect by any means, but in the end they tasted pretty good. The toppings were determined randomly and instantly from what we had. There was no plan or recipe- we just went to town and the results were great, which got me thinking that this was a great way to go when entertaining. A pizza smorgasbord is not something that any one would turn down, especially with a frosty beer and good company.
Recipe for Pizza dough:
2 cups AP flour
1 heaped tsp active dry yeast
1 tbsp warm water
1/4 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup water or as needed
1/4 tsp salt
1. Mix the yeast, water and sugar and leave in a warm spot to bubble up.
2. Combine the flour with the yeast mixture, salt and the oil and mix together, adding in the water gradually until the dough is soft and pliant. Rub with a few drops of olive oil and place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap till it doubles in size. Punch the dough down, wrap and leave to rise again.
3. Cut the dough into 4 parts and roll out to the desired thinness.
4. Place the rolled out dough onto greased baking sheets and spread with the toppings. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp.
