What are you eating tonight?
Friday night Pizza and wings!
Have you ever had a taste for game night food but wanted something healthier, not processed and not dripping in oil?! Your homemade pizza can be made in under 30 minutes! It’s all about prep. 1 bag (2.2kg) of the ANNA Napoletana TIPO ‘00′ dough. When I make the entire bag, it yields 10 Med /small thin crust pizzas for us to munch on during the week. Now, you can make pizza dough and eat the pizza that same night, but I have also made the dough in advance and then bag it and store it in the fridge for the week.
When I make the pizza dough and plan to make pizzas that same day, I like to speed up the process by using water that’s been warmed slightly in the kettle. I divide the dough into 10 separate dough balls and place them in Ziploc bags (I make sure to rub a little olive oil inside the bag so that the dough comes out easily when I’m ready to use the dough. You can also refrigerate and freeze dough- this is why it’s the ultimate game food. Take it out ahead of time so that it can reach room temperature, add your toppings and you’re ready to toss it in the oven.

Toppings
I also prep the toppings in advance. For instance, when I know we plan to eat pizza during the week I go back to a few bags of the marinated breast, slice/ grate mozzarella, dice an onion, mushrooms, pepperoncini, and olives. Just pull everything out when you’re ready to prepare the pizzas. Onions are a must, I prefer caramelized onions which are easy to prepare, but the raw diced and sliced onion are definitely appropriate depending on the type of pizzas you intend to make. I love purchasing the Hormel Turkey pepperoni in bulk from BJs along with the block of mozzarella cheese to slice and grate myself. Want to add more protein? consider adding some of those marinated chicken breasts I use as a go to from the Grill Mates line by McCormick.
Pesto is a must have for flavor. I use organic pizza sauce when I’m not pureeing my own tomatoes and herbs for sauce.

I also like the King Arthur dough ‘00’ pizza dough.
