I make this pizza dough recipe at least once a week. Mostly on Fridays.
When my son Tomás Eugenio (7), was 5 years old, he certainly believed that we could make “a fortune” by selling this recipe to Pizza Hut (like Mr. Krabs and his formula for the popular Krabby Patty in Sponge Bob’s cartoon.) Wasn’t he cute?
Business oriented as he is, my other son Andrés Ignacio (9) thinks when he grows up, he may “invest” in a restaurant and it’s a good thing that “Mom has her blog with all those recipes”.
I have fun with my boys. They are the main reason I make this recipe almost every Friday: determined as they are, they decided that on Friday night dinner must be pizza!
Another reason is this is a no-knead, worry free dough, super easy to make. For my kids I mostly make Margherita pizza with tomato sauce and tons of shredded mozzarella. For the teen and senior department, we love to experiment with roasted tomatoes, goat cheese, pesto, caramelized onions, bacon, figs, prosciutto, arugula and whatever we crave…
