Tuscan Pizza, ITS SO PRETTY!!

There are very few times that I am proud of something that I cooked, this is one of those times in which I am very proud and I am going to write about it. Will and I have really started to like Tuscan Pizzas. We usually get ours from Papa Murphy's, but we also got one at Boston's in Rapid City that was very good. I started to think about what was in it and decided, I can do that! And, I did!!! And, it was sooo yummy! The pictures in order are: my homemade pizza crust and it looked so pretty, the raw pizza and it was so pretty, the cooked pizza and it was so pretty and Will loving my pizza and he is so pretty. So, if you want to cook this yummy pizza here is what is in it:

Homemade pizza crust: (from the wonderful cook Jo Hardwick)
1 package of dry yeast
1/2 warm water
2-2 1/2 flour
1 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp oil

Put the dry yeast in the water and dissolve for 5-10 minutes. Then add 1 cup flour, sugar, salt, egg, and oil. Slowly add up to 1 cup flour to keep it from getting sticky. Put in greased bowl and then cover in plastic wrap and let rise.

Toppings in this order:
1. Olive oil with oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and a dash of black pepper. We eyeballed the amounts. Do what you think will taste good. Make sure you put evenly over crust and don't be shy. Also, brush olive oil over crust ends so it becomes golden.
2. Mozzarella cheese
3. Fresh spinach leaves
4. Chicken- I baked chicken breast in the oven with seasoning salt and lemon pepper. Then I diced it into little pieces.
5. Sun-dried tomatoes
6. Black olives
7. Feta cheese- I don't love feta cheese so I don't put that much.
8. Sprinkling of mozzarella cheese just to get the ingredients to stick together.
9. Basil and oregano

Cook for 15-17 minutes on 400 degrees.

Let me know if you try it. We loved it!!!
