Every week at our house has a pizza night. I remember the first time I tasted Mother Mary's homemade pizza - I ate so much I got sick! Needless to say over indulged and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite!
We've taken to grilling our pizza's, and as an anniversary gift a couple years ago we got a high quality all clad stone for such purposes. Important to have the right tools - in anything you do.
There have been so many different types of pizza that have come out of our kitchen but the following our the staples sometimes with different variations - anything goes - whatever you like it's all about the fun.

You can always use a bread maker and a recipe for the bread maker - I do both and even when something goes wrong - if I give it enough time the bread seems to be forgiving and we can make it work. There are a lot of lessons bread can teach us - a great book is Brother Juniper.
Try a pizza and dough - get the kids involved. Have fun. Make memories. Make a tradition. Pass it on.
