A good friend of mine shared this recipe which is an old family recipe of theirs - one that they made every single Sunday night for years while the kids were all at home. I had saved it a year ago, forgot about it and it was shared again. We enjoy pizza in this house but so often they aren't great. Well, this one was really, really good. I liked the simplicity of the crust and that it was one of those "impossible" styles that grows as it bakes.
Melt 1 stick of butter in a 9x13 pan in the oven at 400 degrees.
While that is melting mix together 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and two eggs by hand. Mix vigorously until air bubbles form (lots of air bubbles is best!)
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan. Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Take the pan out of the oven - lots of air bubbles is good!
If you love garlic, add two cloves of garlic (crushed/pressed) and then add all of your toppings (I did sauce and mushrooms because I forgot to buy anything else !!) . Once you have added the toppings, top with cheese!
Put back in the oven until the cheese is melted.
I didn't realize it until I was making it but my friend also shared their sauce recipe to make this "authentic" --- Sauté a small onion and mushrooms until they are really tender. Add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce. Season with garlic (fresh if you have it) and oregano. Salt and pepper the onions and mushrooms while they are cooking. Let it summer while the crust is cooking and then use it on your pizza!
I served the pizza with salad . .. isn't it pretty?
