New Pizza Dough Recipe

In the mood for homemade pizza tonight and I have a ton of homemade spaghetti sauce sitting in the fridge.  I wanted to try a new crust since I'm getting bored of my regular recipe, so I looked for some alternate ones (this one being a main inspiration) to update my current recipe. Here's what I did:

The finished product. 

What You'll Need:
1 cup of warm water
2 1/2 teaspoons of active yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons of honey
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons of butter
a few shakes of basil
a lot of garlic powder
2 cups of bread flour

How You'll Do It (the same as my original recipe, with the butter step added)

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir and let stand for 10 minutes. Mixture should become creamy. 
2. Combine all ingredients (Except for butter), stir to make dough. Let stand loosely covered for at least an hour. 
3. Place pizza stone in cold oven and pre-heat to 350 degrees.
4. Turn dough on well-floured surface and work into circular shape. Top with your sauce and mozzerella cheese. 
5. Melt the butter and brush onto the crust with a sprinkling of garlic powder. 
6. Bake for 20 minutes on pre-heated stone.
7. Enjoy!

In reality, I didn't add the butter on the crust. Partly because I ran out of garlic powder and partly because I didn't want to add extra calories. But the crust ended up pretty good, I think I'd add more italian seasonings. The fiancé didn't notice the difference, which is good and bad. :)

Penn State pumpkin!

We also carved our pumpkin tonight. Evan took over the carving duties while I scooped, sorted, seasoned and roasted the seeds.

Looking forward to celebrating Halloween this weekend! (I'm scheduled to go to New York the weekend closer to Halloween, so my Penn State friends will be celebrating with us this weekend.)
