Make Your Own Pizza Night

A while back Little Devil asked if her BFF could come over for dinner.  She's from an Italian family and they enjoy cooking just as much as we do.  When they were younger, the girls would make homemade pizzelle cookies when Little Devil spent the night at her house.  I figured rather than just making dinner and all of us sitting down to the table, it would be more fun to do something interactive where we could all be in the kitchen.  Several years ago Little Devil took a Sushi Making Class.  She got quite good at it, and we bought her all of the tools to make it.  (Which was an economic decision on our part because we could not afford to buy enough sushi to fill that kid up.)  She even had her own sushi knife that she purchased herself.  That she was quite proud of.  So proud she felt the need to take it in and out of the sheath to show it off.  I think you know where this is going.  ME:  Put that up, you're going to cut yourself.  LITTLE DEVIL:  Ouch!!!!!  Followed by tears, panic, bloodshed, a trip to the E.R. and stitches.  That knife has not been out of the drawer since.  When I asked if she and Missy would like to make sushi, her reply was, "How about homemade pizza?"  (The sushi making days are over I guess.)  That's what we did.  Homemade Pizza.  Make Your Own Pizza Night.  It was delicious and a blast and we all came up with some pretty creative combinations.  My Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe is super easy.  From there the sky was the limit on toppings.  So much fun.  You definitely need to have a Make Your Own Pizza Night as soon as possible!

So much fun and safer than sushi...
I started with my Homemade Pizza Dough
It makes 4 thin crust medium-sized pizzas.
A huge variety of toppings....
Pepperoni, prosciutto and green chiles...
Spinach, mushroom and pork sausage...
Words to live by lol

You can find my Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe HERE.

Our toppings included:
pepperoni
prosciutto
fresh spinach
fresh chopped tomatoes
fresh chopped green pepper
fresh sliced mushrooms
fresh sliced red onion
chopped green chiles
cooked, crumbled pork sausage

I used store bought sauce from a jar but next time I'm making my own.  I bought a huge block of mozzarella cheese and grated it.  Set everything out in bowls and let everyone get creative with their own personal pizza. 

We really had a lot of fun  This would be a great birthday or slumber party activity too!  I hope all of you have a Make Your Own Pizza Night soon...
