Friday Movie Night with Pizza



At our house we have a simple tradition we started with the kids a few years ago. It's pretty simple we either rent or watch a movie together. We have also played games and had a game night. The big must is the pizza. We either go to our local pizza place or make our own. I'm always on the lookout for the perfect crust and pizza. I've always tried many different things but we're pretty simple at our house. We like traditional crusts best. I've tried wheat and half and half but it tends to be tough no matter what I do so we usually do white flour crusts with the usual toppings. My DD hates mushrooms so we usually just go with pepperoni for them. I decided to try Mommy's Kitchen restaurant style breadsticks and skillet pizza this week. My family literally inhaled the breadsticks. While this is not a very healthy meal with the butter on the sticks and the white flour crust I'm sure you could modify it a bit to meet your families tastes and needs. My husband really liked the crust on the pizza. He has always been a fan of Pizza Hut's original deep dish pan pizza. This was easy to make despite the dough being very sticky. I added some extra flour while kneading, Ok a lot of flour probably with the sticks at least 1 cup more. She says they should be a stiff dough so I was going by that. Also, one more idea when I make this again I may split up my breadstick dough. As you can see mine were a little crowded on the sheet. It got the big thumbs up from everyone at our house. Yummy!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

  4. Your family night sounds wonderful and fun.
    I just went and got the breadstick recipe - can't wait to fix them now.

    We used to have Family Sunday when the boys were young and home....we'd have a big Sunday dinner around 1:00 and than our supper would be home made popcorn and watch Disnesy....we did this for years and sometimes Doug's parents would be there but we still had our family night!
