Pizza night might just be everyone’s favourite night of the week. We found this terrific recipe for making your own Pizza from scratch on Centercutcook.com. Then we found a great offer for a Pizzeria in Wiesbaden too…

Dough Ingredients

• 2 1/2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast (1 packet)
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt

• Mozzarella cheese
• Pizza sauce
• Toppings

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine water and yeast and stir until the yeast is dissolved.

• Roll the dough out into a 16 inch circle. Roll the edges of the dough.
• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with Italian seasoning and brush the entire crust with this mixture.
• Place the crust in the oven for 8 minutes.
