Returned Home to Homemade Pizza


I returned home Friday night and we went out to eat at our favorite Thai place, Tuptim Thai. After I got settled in Saturday night Brian and I made homemade pizza. He had made the crust earlier in the week so it was pretty quick and easy to make.

Prosciutto Pizza

pt 1:
Roll out crust on to pan

pt 2:
3 t of Olive Oil with minced garlic (brown slightly), drizzle over pizza dough, and spread out
Saute Green Pell Peppers Ring, set aside (1 bell pepper)
Saute 1/4 of onion with 2T of sugar until soft and brown, set aside
Saute to warm slightly prosciutto (less than 1/4 lb)

pt 3: Over Olive Oil assemble pizza
We used jarred pasta sauce (Bertolli Vineyard Marinara with Burgundy Wine), and put on to our liking
Place Green Pepper Rings around
Place Caramelized Onion around
Place Prosciutto around
Top with 1-1/4 C of Cheese (5 servings) we used Sargento Mozzarella & Provolone pre-shredded cheese

I like a cheesy saucy pizza but we are trying to limit our fat intake and so we measured out the cheese and were cautions of making sure we didn't over do it with the cheese (which is easy to do). This worked out well for our 16in pizza.

Bake at 450deg for 17m
