Gotta love homemade pizza!!!!

I just made my first pizza from scratch and it smells yummy (it's cooking now)!!! Add a little yeast with some flower and water, some italian seasonings, and then I topped it with tons of extra. What would have cost me close to $20 at a pizza parlor, just cost me less then $5 to make!

ETA: Recipe. My brother made this recipe up through experimention and it tastes great.

In a large bowl, mix the following:
1 cup of warm water
1 package of yeast
2 TBSP oil (vegetable or olive)
1/2 TSP salt
~3 1/2 cups Flour

optional: 1 TBSP honey and 1 TSP sugar

OPTIONAL: Mix in italian seasonings (oregeno, parsley, rosemary, basil)

Let dough rise for 45 minutes (90 minutes best at 90 degrees). Leave dough in the bowl and cover with a dish towel.

After rising, flour counter, pull dough onto the counter and knead. Spread onto pizza pan that is lightly oiled to avoid sticking.

Preheat oven 400 degrees for cook for 15-20 minutes.

Place any number of toppings on the pizza dough. Tonight, I used a little sauce, covered it in mozzarella cheese, then I added diced onion I had cut up, then I took the mushrooms I had previously sliced (it's cheaper to buy whole mushrooms, than the already sliced ones), then I covered it with sliced pepperroni , and sliced black olives.
