What's Cooking Thursday?

Final recipe before a new month and I wanted to really make it a big one so today I give you a great recipe for homemade breakfast pizza!  Like most people pizza is one of my all time favorite foods because it's so delicious? well yes but it's easily customizable to each and every person and it's really a lot of fun to make as long as you have a few staple ingredients and some spare time.  I will show you the breakfast recipe I used first then the pizza dough recipe that I got mainly from Alton Browns own recipe for easy homemade pizza dough.  I may post a pizza sauce recipe sometime but this time I had half a jar of store bought stuff in my ridge so that's what I used but you could totally find some great recipes for your own sauce online just about anywhere!  If you have never made your very own full sized home made pizza THIS is the one to use enjoy and good luck.
