Classic Homemade Pizza

I always wanted to make my own pizza like mom did at home when I was a kid....but this was a bit of a fail. I will provide the recipe, but with modifications to make it great. Tim can't get enough homemade pizza, he'd have it every other night if he could. he doesn't like veggies, but I can sneak them in there underneath as much mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Classic Homemade Pizza

1 package 17.3 oz Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry (Substitute Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough)

1 cup Prego Tomato Basil & Garlic Spaghetti Sauce (substitute Boboli Pizza Sauce)

Handful of chopped pepperoni

half green pepper sliced

2-4 sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 can chopped olives

5-6 leaves fresh basil chopped

5-6 cloves of garlic chopped

1 (8oz) package mozzarella cheese

handful fresh Parmesan

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tsp garlic salt w/ parsley

1 tsp oregano

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Spread pastry in 15X10 baking sheet. Puncture with fork all over the base of the pastry. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Mix olive oil in small bowl with garlic salt and parsley.  Brush crust with olive oil mixture.

Spread sauce over pastry. Add garlic to sauce and mix in. Add 3/4 cheese to the sauce. Mix chopped basil in with the cheese. Layer the pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper, and spread olives over the top. Cover with remaining cheese, and spread handful of fresh Parmesan over the top. Bake for 8 minutes in preheated oven.

This was good, however, I'd switch out the Prego for Boboli sauce, and the puff pastry for refrigerated pizza dough. Not sure how that will change the timing...but it would be about the same I'm sure. It was still good...I just don't like my pizza on flaky pastry with watery sauce. Enjoy!
