Typically we do dinner and a movie on Friday nights. A few weeks ago, that was the plan, but as anyone with kids knows, spontaneity is the name of the game. The boys were playing in the living room while the pizzas were in the oven, and Russell hit his head. Brian and I were a worried, so we made a quick trip to the ER. He is/was perfectly fine, but we were glad to get him checked out.
Russell kept telling all the nurses he couldn’t wait to get home and eat the pizza he had made. Also, we had left in such a hurry that I just left the pizzas on the counter, and they were still delicious when we got home. Russell had 2 1/2 pieces!
Russell’s Smack Your Head Good Pizza
3 cups all purpose flour (or 1 cup whole wheat flour plus 2 cups all purpose flour)
1 package active dry yeast
2 Tbs vegetable or olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs granulated sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F measure with a thermometer)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixer bowl, mix flour, yeast, salt, and sugar until well combined. Then slowly add warm water and oil. When dough is formed spread out into either a cookie sheet or pizza pan.
Top as desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
You don’t have to have lots of little hands helping, but if you do have little helpers in your house, they will love smoothing the dough into the pan and sprinkling ingredients on the pizza.
Also, you don’t have to smack your head enjoy it!

So glad your son is okay! Great recipe 🙂 We do Friday night pizza night too! It's a great way to end the week!
Thanks, Nikki! He's great! I have been eating pizza on Friday nights, since I was a little kid. I feel like it would just be wrong for us not to have it.
Take care,
Erin
