Our family enjoys a good homemade pizza. For as long as I can remember we have used this no yeast pizza crust recipe, but this particular night I was craving a crust that is a little lighter and bread-like. I didn’t have the patience to wait hours for multiple rises, so I needed a quick yeast recipe. I stumbled on this recipe and went to work.

We don’t use prepared pizza sauce. We simply pour enough tomato sauce on the pizza to taste and sprinkle a little garlic salt, minced onions and Italian Seasoning on it. We like to top the pizza with a lot of veggies. This particular pizza was topped with green peppers, red onions, slices of Roma Tomatoes and broccoli. We were out of pizza cheese so we used a little cheddar and it was yummmmmmy!
Yummy! It’s such a simple pizza crust recipe! I’ve never thought about adding broccoli on pizza. I’m more of a meat eater than veggie eater 😉 Thanks Heather!
Wow that is a very simple crust recipe and the pizza looks yummy. : )
mmm, it think we will try this for dinner tonight
That is great! I love having our own homemade Pizza. I just canned 9 pints of homemade pizza sauce and have more to make. It will be great this winter when the kids and granddaughters come over. aaaathanks for sharing.
