I love making a good homemade pizza and being able to add all of the toppings I want creating a party in mouth where my tastebuds are the guests of honor. Ok, maybe that was a little extreme, but in any case, a homemade pizza is a great alternative to a night out. Pair it with a nice bottle of Shiner Bock and you have yourself a great evening!
Although I used a crust mix from my local grocer, making your own crust would be spectacular, but store-bought works for me. I substituted a homemade crust for a homemade sauce instead. This sauce is a heated liquid that will clear those stuffy sinuses and cause you to have a few more beers than intended. Stick with it, it's a treat. Be sure to experiment and add your favorite ingredients to make it your own!
Serves 4 (Depending on how thin you make the crust or how large the pizza turns out)
Ingredients:
Sauce:
1 can mild diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel or store brand works )
1/2 tbs chili puree with garlic sauce (can be found at local grocer)
Instructions:
1. Heat stove to medium
2. Combine tomatoes and chili puree in a sauce pan and stew for about 10 minutes
3. Let cool, then pour into blender until smooth
Pizza:
1 crust
olive oil
1 or 2 Roma tomatoes (they have the best flavor)
1 small onion (red or white)
1 jalopeno (sliced and deseeded)
fresh mozzarella cheese
red pepper flakes
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 450F
2. Roll and form crust to prepare for toppings
3. Brush crust with olive oil and bake for 4 minutes
4. Add toppings (I start with sauce, then add cheese and follow with the remaining toppings
5. Bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melting
6. Broil for about 3 minutes or until crust and cheese are gooey and golden delish
