Dr. Seuss's Birthday

Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss's Birthday. My boys love reading Dr. Seuss books so I try to make this a fun day for them. We will be making green eggs and ham for breakfast and a Cat in the Hat pizza for dinner.

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

1 pkg active dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

1 cup warm water

2 1/2 cup flour

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy (about 10 minutes).

2. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.

3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a hat shape. Transfer crust to a lightly greased cookie sheet dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings.

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Pizza Sauce

1 small can tomato sauce

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp rosemary

Combine ingredients and simmer. Spread on dough.

This pizza was a little different. For the white stripes I put the sauce on the bottom with cheese on top. If you want toppings just put it under the cheese. For the red stripes I did it the opposite way, toppings, cheese and sauce on top.

This was a fun pizza to make and my kids enjoyed it. Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!
