Today I've been busy in the kitchen....it's raining again today ~ this is the 4th or 5th day in a row. So I had a request for just bread sticks and pizza sauce so that's what I've done....enjoy. xoxoxx

Pizza Dough

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour - sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2 teaspoons honey
3/4 cup very warm water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Add the water, yeast, honey and 1/2 cup of the flour, mx in your kitchen aid just quickly and allow to rest 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and allow your kitchen aid to knead the dough for 5 to 8 minutes....Rest 15 minutes. Put dough into large bowl that has been brushed with olive oil, cover and let proof for at least an hour. Roll out for pizza crust or made into pizza sticks .....

Kat's Pizza & Chickpea Sauce

1 large can tomatos (29 oz) Crush in blender to sauce
1/4 cup chickpeas
2 teaspoons raw sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teapoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon worstershire sauce
a bit of olive oil to coat your pan

I heat my pan with the olive oil. Blend up my tomatoes and chickpeas so that they turn to sauce. Add this mixture to hot pan. Turn heat to low while you add all the other ingredients. Simmer for several hours and use as pizza sauce or dipping sauce.
