First up: The Dough (Recipe modified from Allrecipes Pizza Dough III Recipe)
Ingredients
1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast (or 2 1/2 teaspoons of yeast if you buy in bulk like I do)
1 cup
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2-3 cups all purpose flour (separated)
2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 teaspoon
salt
2 tablespoons honey
Directions
1) In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2) In same bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, honey, and the yeast mixture.
3) Stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. (Use extra flour to stiffen the dough if it is too moist.) Warning: Should still be a little sticky.
4) Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Or wait like I do because I like to let my dough rise inside my oven when it is off.) Should look like below when done.
5) Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape.
6) Cover with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

We ended up making 3 different pizzas: A supreme, a meat-lovers, and a chicken Alfredo. I made pan fried chicken bits, browned ground meat, and bought the other delicious toppings. Unfortunately I did NOT take pictures of the finished products. :( I am so sorry! But they were so good that I only had a few pieces of pizza left over when we were done eating! I also served a salad, grapes, and cookies with this meal.
On a different note, the Doctor Who marathon was FANTASTIC! We sadly finished all of the newest episodes Netflix has to offer for the series though. I'm still 2 seasons behind! :( Not to worry though. Aimee and Robert have those DVRed. ;) And now I leave you with an awesome image of the coolest alien in the universe. :)
you are on a roll tonight
