I made pizza from scratch for dinner tonight. lately I have started making my own pizzas again and it is surprising how simple it is. I make my own crust and add the toppings. Of course the family prefers the homemade one rather than the store bought ones. How was your dinner or lunch?

I use a very simple recipe for my crust and make it by hand so it is done in minutes.

@Freelanzer could you start a discussion about your recipe? That is not against the rules if you include the recipe in a discussion.

You know when you make it the cheese is real and you have control over what else goes on top

I think making a pizza is easier than bread. Since I have a bread machine at home, it is easier for me to make a pizza because I use the bread machine to make the dough. And then I put the bacon, tomato sauce and cheese on the top and it will be done. I even store it in the fridge so that it is like a frozen pizza from the supermarket. I can easily make it as breakfast next day.

I used to use the bread machine to make the dough but it takes too long so I do it by hand and its ready in minutes. You are right it is much easier than making bread

I had an omelete with an English Muffin. It was too hot to have much of an appetite!

So true. You can get really creative with the toppings to suit one's preference.

Dinner last night was a salad topped with massive amounts of shrimp scampi, dressed with a dressing made of guacamole, ranch and lemon juice. I need to get into doing my own pizza crusts, as hubby likes to top his own anyway. He just says making pizza crust is hard. I am not sure I believe him.

Homemade pizza is yum! Lunch and dinner were good. I had ice cream for lunch, and a hamburger for dinner so I'm not complaining lol

Great! I also found that I could make a better pizza and cheaper and with better ingredients and the family loved it.
I have not yet had breakfast or lunch yet as I wasn't hungry but I will eat soon as my appetite is starting to form. Today I will eat only one meal.

Only one meal? Does that mean you are on a diet?

Well the dough was flour, oil, salt, water and yeast. Toppings for the rest of the family was sliced meats. mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, cheese. I don't eat meat so I made a separate one for myself with ground tofu and vegan cheese and the rest of the stuff. I also had jalapenos on mine.
