I made 2 pizzas in 25 minutes flat this afternoon. Faster than I could have picked up the phone and ordered delivery. It helped that I had some leftover toppings from my pizza party, but still. This pizza is fast.
Step one, assemble the crust – about 4 minutes. (The recipe makes 2 salad-plate-sized pizzas or one larger crust)
Step two, bake crust(s) at 425* for 5 minutes. While crust is in the oven, prepare toppings of choice
Sauce, olives, pepperoni, artichokes, pesto, tomatoes
Step three, remove crust(s) from oven and add the yummies.
Meeker’s cheesy pepperoni monster:
My pesto-tomato-artichoke-mushroom-olive creation:
Step four, bake for another 12-15 minutes at 425* – this gives you ample time to do the dishes and clean up the kitchen. Something that (unfortunately) if left undone, prevents me from enjoying my meal.
Mine on the left. Meeker’s on the right + his two English muffin pizzas (he was worried he would still be hungry)
Yum city. Even Punky was jealous of my artichokes…
But after trying (and rejecting) it, she sat down like a good puppy and waited patiently for us to finish eating.
She’s such a sweet doggie.
I ate about half the pizza, and saved the rest for later – there’s nothing like leftover pizza.
It’s back to work for Mrs. Unger tomorrow…I should probably go to bed now in anticipation of the Halloween (and pumpkin patch field trip!) filled week that is to come.
I have never made my own pizza crust! I’ll be looking at your recipe! Thanks!
haha I love that he decided he needed a english muffin pizza too just in case
Haha the english muffin pizzas are so dinky! Sort of thing my boyf would do (he had the appetite of 90). Will be using the recipe for that pizza crust very soon! Thankyouu

4 minute crust? I must do this.
The husband would definitely need more than 1 pizza – I always make a “back up” dish so he can fill up.
I love homemade pizza! I like some odd combinations on my pizza and some ingredients most joints don’t serve up, so it is always more enjoyable for me to make my own. Healthier, too!
I LOVE how easy the crust recipe is. Just bookmarked it, definitely a keeper! Have a great start to your week!
Yummmm. I buying the ingredients for tonight!
Punky is adorable.
There really is nothing like leftover pizza. It’s my fave!
WoW! that was fast! your pizza look very good
Lovely lady, I just read 8 posts. Three things:
1. I got my first Kombucha since it’s been back yesterday!
2. I made Elise’s bread yesterday!
3. You keep saran wrap in the freezer?
Was fun to catch up w/ you! xo
Punky looks identical to my childhood dog!
A pumpkin patch field trip? o boy! I’ve been debating whether or not to bring my students candy this week as “rewards” for helping out in class but I know candy will be in a abundance for them so I think I’m settling on giving them those mini pumpkins.
Katie,
Just wanted to let you know that I linked one of your baked omelette posts in my blog. I use that method so often, I love it! I read your posts every day and I hope you’ll stop by sometime.
Punks is so cute, even being a little begger! they are worse than kids…they can stiff out a vegetable a mile away! haha it always amazes me! i love your lil (growing) family

Yes! She is totally named after Punky Brewster – I was a huge fan, too.
