Pizza using Artisan Bread in 5 minutes dough!

Pizzas are on my menu a lot many times now. Experimenting with the myriad toppings is fun too and when you have the dough ready in the refrigerator, this makes a quick fix dinner too. And we love it when it is spicy! The little girl of mine likes hers with just sauce and loads of cheese. So she gets that!

Until now I made the base as per the Pizza Napoletana. The thin/crisp crust has become monotonous and we scraved for puffier crusts. I remember seeing/reading about the kind of puffy base I wanted on Deeba's blog. The basic recipe is from here. For that day the yeast was my bestest friend because it never failed me. The dough rose not double in volume but triple.

The sauce for the base was my keeper sauce recipe from here. However, this time, I played it low on the amount of sauce used. I spread cheese on the sauce before adding the toppings followed by anothing sprinkling of cheese. This baked well and will be made for another few times until monotony starts to play.

I am expecting a great weekend, and here's wishing you all a great weekend.
