Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
1/3 cup warm water (105-110 degrees F)
1/2 tsp dry active yeast
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 Tbsp olive oil.
Add yeast to water and let it sit for 10 minutes until bubbly.
In medium size bowl combine flour, sugar, salt and olive oil.
Pour in yeast mixture.
Mix and knead until soft and smooth. Dough will be tacky but not sticky. You can do this in the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook if you prefer. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough into a 10-12 inch circle on a lightly floured surface..
Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Add pizza sauce and desired toppings (cheese, pepperoni etc.)
Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 12-14 minutes or until crust is golden brown on the bottom and cheese is melted and begins to brown.
Pizza Sauce:
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning.
Directions
Add olive oil and garlic to a small sauce pan and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Add in sauce and other ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes, stir occasionally. Cool

Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.
You can find all my recipes on my website at www.yourhomebasedmom.com.#smallbatchrecipes #cookingfortwo #smallbatchcooking

    I have been watching you for a little while, but don't think I have commented. I have been having an episode of depression for just over a year, I haved saved about 500 recipes/projects in youtube in that time, with no desire to make any. Yesterday, I spent several hours making this pizza. I was so excited to feel like doing something. I doubled the recipe and managed to get 3 x 8" pizzas. I ate one and froze 2, it was amazing the perfect pizza. I added ham, pepperoni, mushroom and pineapple. Then I decided to make caramelised onions to go on top. I will never eat pizza without caramelised onions again. Today I will be making your chicken pot pie.. Thank you for these great mini recipes.

    I love a personal pizza and I have often said they should have a 'singles' grocery store for people who live alone and want smaller amounts of everything. :) Anyway, this pizza looks great...I'm sure I will try it. I love pepperoni, put on top of the cheese so it gets nice and crispy.

    Hi Leigh Anne, I can’t wait to try this one and you Detroit style😂😃😎 I just adore pizza!! It is my favorite food!! And my adult son and me cook and eat separate so I need smaller recipes. Thanks so much!! I love just cheese or black olives, sometimes green olives. I like to put a little of my mozzarella on then the other stuff then top it with some more mozzarella but I do not go too crazy with the cheese. Thanks again and have a super great day 😃🤣
