MAKE YOUR OWN PIZZA KITS
How many times have you had those busy days, kids activities, house work, yard work, or just in the mood for pizza without the work that day. You don't have to call for delivery...and you don't have to settle for the frozen options at the store which limit your toppings to their pre-made selections. I saw a commercial for a...

Steps:
- 1. What I think is great about this concept is you can add "baggies" of ingredients to your kits as you go. If you have left over grilled chicken or sausage links - dice them up, label your freezer bags and add them to the pizza kit bag. Left over bacon? Unheard of in my house... but just in case - add it to the pizza kit! Do you have left over sauce from spagetti night? Measure it and set it back for pizza night. The same concept works for veggies and cheeses - prep them and save them for pizza kits. The dough comes together pretty quickly so you can make those and put them back anytime you like. You will be so happy on pizza night when you can just pick your toppings, sauce, and cheeses - without creating lots of dishes to wash, and a kitchen to clean up - only the pizza pan ... I'd go for the paper plates like pizza delivery night (:
- 2. Okay...here we go! In your standing mixer add flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix with dough hook attachment until combined.
- 3. In a glass measuring cup add 3/4 c water. Microwave for 20 seconds. This will warm the water. Add olive oil to the water. Turn on mixer to speed 2 and pour water mixture to flour mixture.
- 4. Mix until combined. Scrap dough off hook and back into bowl.
- 5. Allow mixer to "knead" the dough for 5 minutes. Turn off mixer and scrap dough off hook. Turn mixer back on for another 5 minutes. Dough should be elastic and very smooth.
- 6. Label 2 quart bags, "Pizza Dough". I like to write the next step on bags. "Once thawed, remove dough from bag and place in a greased bowl. Cover, and allow to rise in a warm place for 2 hours". Divide dough in half and place in the labeled bags.
- 7. I like to let them hang out in the fridge for a couple days - it develops the flavor. You can use them or place in your pizza kit bag in your freezer until you are ready to make.
- 8. EVERYTHING ELSE IS GRAVY! ... and cheese ... and toppings...
- 9. SAUCE: Label freezer bag so you know what the sauce is. Measure 1/2 cup into bag, seal, and place in your pizza kit bag. SUGGESTIONS: Tomato based italian sauces, alfredo, pesto, barbeque, mexican salsa, cheese sauces (I know ragu makes those)...
- 10. CHEESE: Label freezer bag with type of cheese. Measure 1 cup shredded into bag, seal and place in your pizza kit bag. SUGGESTIONS: Mozzerella (use this as the majority of your cheese mixture and others for flavor) Parmesean, romano, cheddar, colby, you get the idea.
- 11. VEGGIES: As you did before label your freezer bag. Your veggie options are as endless as your cravings. SUGGESTIONS: Onions, peppers-sweet and spicy, olives, mushrooms, egg plant, tomato, spinach. Grilled and roasted veggies add great flavor, so if you have any left, add them to the kit!
- 12. MEATS: I think you have the knack now, so I'll just move on to suggestions. Pepperoni is great of course, think out of the box... Grilled left over meats like chicken, sausage, even extra cooked burgers from a bbq make great pizza toppings. Left over pulled pork whether it be bbq or mexican spiced are awesome choices!
- 13. WHEN PIZZA NIGHT ARRIVES! Get your dough out and allow it to thaw. Then place it in a greased bowl, cover and let it rise for 2 hours. While that's rising, pick your sauce, cheeses, veggies, and meats.
- 14. Preheat oven to 450. (This makes great pizza on the grill too - light up that grill if you like!)
- 15. Now just assemble your pizza! Dough, sauce...you know how this works (:
- 16. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, add the whole package of yeast, 1 cup warm water, and 1 tsp sugar. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes so the yeast can activate and dissolve. Do not use hot water; this will kill your yeast.
- Add ¼ tsp salt and 2 tbsp oil to the yeast/water mixture.
- Add one cup of all-purpose flour, sifted at a time, and knead. The full amount of flour will vary a bit. You will use between 2 and 4 cups. You knead and keep adding flour until you get a ball of dough that holds together and is not too sticky. Too sticky? Add more flour, just a tablespoon at a time. Too dry and not forming a ball? Add more water, just a teaspoon at a time.
- Add the dough to an oiled bowl. Cover and place in a warm spot (on top of an oven that is on is a great place). The dough will rise and double in size.
- Punch down the dough and add it to either 1 cup or 2 cups Souper Cubes trays. The dough in one well of the one cup tray yields 1 pizza, approximately 12 inches or two pizzas, 6 inches each.
- Place the can of crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano in a blender or food processor.
- Pulse a few times until the sauce is combined.
- Transfer pizza sauce to your Souper cubes tray of choice. The 1/2 cup tray works great for this!
- Add the dough, sauce, and cheese (plus any desired freezer-friendly toppings) individually to the wells of your Souper Cubes trays.
- If you just made your pizza dough, it may continue to rise. Fill the dough wells in your trays just a little shy of the fill line to allow it to rise a bit more.
- Place the trays in the freezer overnight to fully freeze.
- Allow the trays to stand on the counter for 5 minutes. This will allow the cubes to pop out much easier for you.
- Pop-out the cubes and transfer them to freezer-safe bags. Label and return back to the freezer.
- Remove your pizza kit from the freezer to thaw. It is very important to remove your pizza kit ingredient cubes from the freezer bag and place each item in a separate bowl. If you don't do this, your sauce will thaw and mix with the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
- Roll each portion of dough to the desired size of pizza.
- Spoon the sauce onto the dough.
- Add desired toppings and cheeses to the pizza.
- Place on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until the dough is cooked throughout; leave it in the oven for longer if you like your crust crispy.
- Pull the pizzas out of the oven and let them sit for a few minutes on their baking stone or sheet.
- Use your favorite pizza cutter or pizza tools and cut them into even slices.
- Eat your perfect pizza in the comfort of your own home!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your pizza kit ingredients will directly impact the quality of your pizza. Look for fresh, high-quality ingredients that are packed with flavor.
- Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is the heart of your pizza. Make sure to use a flavorful, well-seasoned sauce that will complement the other ingredients on your pizza.
- Use fresh toppings: Fresh toppings will give your pizza the best flavor and texture. Avoid using pre-packaged or frozen toppings whenever possible.
- Don't overload your pizza: Too many toppings will weigh down your pizza and make it soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings that will complement each other well.
- Bake your pizza at a high temperature: The higher the temperature, the crispier your pizza will be. Aim for a temperature of at least 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own delicious pizza kits at home. This is a great way to save money, eat healthier, and have fun with your family and friends. So next time you're craving pizza, skip the delivery and make your own instead!
