Thank you for sharing your recipe!! I was laughing at your precise measuring and your pizza oven. I think it is great that you make pizza for the family every Thursday.

[@sarahgilad489]

my first job was at pizza hut. The pan pizza dough comes as frozen discs. The back of house staff oil the pans, spray release over the outside and shove them in an electric proofer. We used speed rings to prevent cheese and sauce going near the edge. You do a mighty grand job of making pizza and it rivals that of pizza hut. Try making the cheesy bites. I can walk you through it. I cant believe I still remember it was 19 years ago I started work there.

[@debbieomi]

Your wife wasn't telling a story when she said you were so precise on your measurements! lol I love it! That look SO good! Thanks for sharing.

[@TomMillsFamily]

She's laughing her butt off right beside me right now XD

[@debradacosta832]

what a master piece.I think its great that you have a nice family tradition. The kids will always remember how Dad made homemade pizza.

[@livilou6165]

Where did you get your pan. This made me so hungry!

[@huckleberryplanet4105]

Looks delicious. I'm impressed that one pizza is enough for the whole family. I did hear that you said a couple of the kids don't eat any, but still...I guess my 4 kids are big pizza eaters.

[@CookieCrumbFun]

I'm so glad you provided this video for us! We have pizza night every Friday. I found a copy cat recipe for Pizza Hut dough and it makes up well. Yours looks so much better though! I think you inspired me to start using bread flour in our recipe!!

[@TomMillsFamily]

Its nice to find a fellow family pizza maker! I used to use all bread dough, but adding some regular flour makes the crust a little more crunchy. THanks for the comment!

[@isabellelawrence8267]

I used to be known in our family,community and the different jobs I have worked at for my cooking and baking. Not for any reward or bragging but that when I started out I was poor and needed to make things from scratch and that I loved making good wholesome food for my family and friends. My Grandmother was a southern woman who raised me and I watched her cook and learned so much from her, the most important being saying the "Table Grace", asking GODs blessing on what HE has given us. I am disabled now and I cook sitting in a small office chair. I have taken 3or4 recipes for homemade yogurt and made one that my 83 year old Mother and the rest of our family loves. But not to take away from you "This looks amazing and the video is wonderfully made. You have done a fantastic job, but as a dear Christian Aunt of mine used to say, " Love makes work easy". I love your families videos, they do help ease my pain. Thank you

[@TomMillsFamily]

Wow that is an amazing story. It is sad that as a culture we have gotten away from prayer so much. I think being thankful is the ultimate key to life, I was going to do a video on that very topic. It seems like you already got it down ;) I think we tried home made yogurt but did not have much success if I recall, I will bet yours is amazing.

[@rubygirl0689]

Wow!! The last week I've finally found my perfect pizza recipe. Not a big pan pizza fan but my mom is and this look tasty will be trying.

[@patriciaorsborn7165]

I adore the Pizza Hut dough, I really dislike dry powdery/floury crusts, but the Pizza Hut crust is fried, and I loooove that!! I just watched Eden's birthday party video, and I was struck by something I felt compelled to share with you & Andrea. I came across her account by accident and I am so tickled that I clicked on it. I am so awestruck by how great y'all are at parenting. Your kiddos are always so polite and that secret Samaritan thing your kids do is an excellent idea. I've been praying that the Lord blesses you with as many children and perhaps adopted or foster children when you are done with having your own, since y'all are such great parents! People probably say that you're lucky but I say your kids are lucky, and yours are the type of good kids who grow up to be great adults/contributors to society. Bless you all, and give little Miss Eden a birthday hug from Ms. O!! love and prayers

[@patriciaorsborn7165]

Oh, I just remembered something. I was my daughter's girl scout troop back when she was a Daisy Scout (the first level). Being kindergarten age, the girls were considered too young for cookie selling and camp outs, so I always had to scramble around looking for activities other than just arts and crafts, so I took them on field trips to science and art museums, but their very favorite one (which they still remember and are all about 32 y/o) is the time I arranged with the manager of a local Pizza Hut to open early and teach the kids about the pizza business and the whole process from ordering, to making, to serving. the girls each got to make their own pizzas, and they all still love Pizza Hut fried crust. Thank you for this video, delightful as usual. Come to Texas some time and I will make you some BBQ brisket and you can make your crust and we'll have BBQ pizza!

[@TomMillsFamily]

Thanks for all your wonderful comments, they really are enjoyable to read! Welcome to our KZbin family!

[@speedstackinggurl]

That is the best looking homemade pizza I have ever seen! Looks so good!

[@kathleenweis6500]

First time I watched this, good job. Looks great.

[@bonpearson3177]

Looks delish

[@sandramullen7804]

I think your doing great keeping your videos coming with all you are coping with were all so very proud of you all ❤️👍🇬🇧

[@happynanny6375]

Very impressive, Tom.

[@LexieMichelle]

Thank you so much!!!! Been waiting for this video right here. My son just saw the pizza at the end and said that looks simply delicious and that he wants to eat it ( and he is not really a big fan of pizza). Can't wait to try it out. God bless :)

[@TomMillsFamily]

I'm so glad that people want to try it out! It really is good :)

[@r.wagner5142]

Looks amazing and will try! I can't wait for your breadstick video

[@ldpuprazr]

Love this! How big of a pizza is it? I may have missed you saying the size. From the looks of it, this would feed my husband alone! I can't wait to try making it. If you ever make it to Michigan, I suggest trying a place called Cottage Inn pizza in the southwest part. They make amazing pizza as well. Also, kudos on watching Naruto! We are big animé fans here. We watch in Japanese with English subtitles, and it helps with those kids who are learning Japanese as well!

[@TomMillsFamily]

It is a 16 inch pizza, very big. We watch the dub with the kids, but me and m wife watch the subbed ones, most of the little ones cant read fast enough. Thanks for commenting!

[@pinghighscore21]

I think it's really cool that you guys watch Naruto, and that you have a night you watch it!!!

[@learningaswegocitygonecoun6805]

I just made bbq chicken bacon pizza. Super yummy! I think I will tweak you dough recipe and try to make it gluten-free. Hopefully, it will turn out. Thank you for sharing.

[@InHimAlone]

Thank you for this! I have been waiting patiently since Andrea first posted a delicious looking picture of your pizza. Yummy! Pizza Hut deep dish is one of my favorites, so I can't wait to try this. I probably won't be quite so exact, lol, but there are a lot of good tips here. I would have never guessed it needed that much oil in the pan, but I am not surprised since their pizza is so good, haha. We have a Pizza Hut carry-out just a 1/4 of a mile from us (they are few and far between here), but they are not very consistent in quality. We kept getting under-cooked pizzas, so we stopped ordering from them.

[@TomMillsFamily]

There is one about 30 minutes from us that we go to on occasion, most of the time they're pretty good. I am glad you liked the video, hopefully you have good luck making it, let me know if you have any trouble!

[@nannypat6520]

Hey Tom, you mentioned breadsticks at the end of this one. But no "how to" 🍕

[@rachelday9585]

He still hasn't posted it

[@colleent3631]

Hi Tom, When I try to download the pdf recipe it states, can't be downloaded securely, is that normal, I WANT THE RECIPE BAAAAD LOL

[@HopeThisWorksOurHomestead]

That looks like a home run Tom!!!!!!! I am going to try this! Thx for sharing this!!!!!!!! Kevin. New sub also :)

[@jadziajohnson]

My dad makes pizza dough too! My family has very different views on pizza lol I love thin crust but almost my whole family loves fluffy big crust!

[@ph3657]

That looks good and I'm not really a fan of pizza. As a matter of fact, I actually only like the pan pizza. I like the greasy crust. So yours looks great. Thanks Tom.

[@colleent3631]

I definitely want pizza or spaghetti, after that music 😊 looks great, thank you

[@cindythecrochetereh]

This popped up in my home page and even though it was made 4yrs ago and I know I and others like to joke on your precise measurements to us who do the this and that way measurements but I have yet to see your recipe fail on your pizza lives!!! Looks just as delicious!!

[@lindadobranetski6302]

That looks so yummy I only make homemade pizza dough but I do not use pizza sauce i use tomato sauce and add my own ingredients.

[@kellihammond4956]

One pizza feeds the family? As good as it looks I could eat half of it. Lol

[@MissBurr1]

somebody please post that recipe.....I cant get it to load.....thank you so much

[@hilda1170]

Tom how many pizzas do you need to cook for your family dinner?

[@coupongal3219]

Thank you I just came over from your wife's channel and the last one I saw on her channel looked a bit better do you have a newer recipe or does the temperature and all make a difference? I am fixing to start doing as much of our bread products as possible. TFS looks yummy either way love pizza..

[@TomMillsFamily]

I have tweaked it a bit and its much tastier now! I should do another video, the biggest change is 17oz water, also 75% all purpose flour and 25% bread flour

[@coupongal3219]

+Tom Mills,Thank you it does look amazing..

[@tygrr5854]

hey, what is the height of your pan? greetings

[@gojenn0927]

I know this is an old post, but I am fed up with frozen pizza. The dough is usually okay with me, but I need a decent SAUCE. Jar sauce just doesn't make me happy. Suggestions?

[@elliegoldie6140]

Wow Tom all those talents you have.lm sure those kids who like Pizza would love to cook with you.once you are further on and life settles into place I'm sure Eden or one of older boys would love to make pizza.maybe if younger ones in bed earlier you could teach maybe 1 or two cooking as we all have to do it some day,Thomas was the one Andrea was going to teach with his slo cooker.This came up tonight I hadnt seen this vlog and I enjoyed it.Bless you Tom and all the children.Many would love on a Sunday if you could do a reading for viewers and your childrens.A Sunday service with Tom readings ,bible stories that us and children would enjoy,thankyou Tom.xxxxx🤗

[@joycampbell6157]

Wow this looks amazing!!! plz do a breadsticks video!!!!! Andrea wasnt kidding about being precise... my husband IS THE SAME WAY AT WELL ALMOST EVERYTHING! Im more of a "looks good enough" kinda person!

[@holiday-td6hx]

I'm sure you know this Andrea.....(and Tom) but those "store" brands are made at the same factories where Bayer Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, etc. I always purchase the store brands for pretty much everything, but there are a "few" exceptions I'll admit. This video was so cute....I love your videos because you guys are SO REAL.....love it! :) (and yes I know this video is 2 yrs. old.)

[@diamondheart9268]

Thank You For Sharing. That Is Such a Beautiful Looking Pizza. It’s Great That You Have That Oven. I Am SUCH a Pizza Addict! I Can’t Wait To Give This a Try! 😀

[@robinmccowen6671]

Ever tried Caputo double zero (“00”) Italian flour? Would be perfect....not that expensive and can be shipped.

[@margaretbedwell58]

That looks professional and delicious. I heard another you tuber mention she didn't want to pay the price of a pizza stone and went to Lowe's and purchased a porcelen (sp?) tile the size of her oven shelf and it works perfect and she just leaves it in the oven all the time.

[@sandramullen7804]

You really are a dab hand at pizza 🍕 making Tom, and voice for tutorials too 👍🇬🇧

[@caribprincess9909]

yummy!

[@wonderholic88]

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. :) My family has been trying to bake the "perfect" pizza for quite a while. I will definitely use some of these tips. Hope to see a video for the bread stick recipe!

[@libraryladydi]

I was seriously wondering today if you had shared this recipe. Thank you.

[@AnnHope53]

Maybe you guys could consider making Aussie style pizzas. Love to hear your review on that!

[@TomMillsFamily]

Haha I don't really know what those are! I gather they have more variety of toppings? Sounds yummy!

[@mareebrown2163]

That is correct. On mine I use pizza sauce, capsicum slices, red onion, salami, sliced ripe tomato, mozzarella cheese. sometimes bacon as well.

[@alyssal7078]

narutos not a cartoon its an anime! the nerds are offended. Cool pizza tho

[@jennylyons2307]

Alyssa L lmao same thing pretty much

[@whitneyking2779]

I'm so hungry now! Gee thanks Tom! lol. looks delicious! 👅👍

[@LillyDoesGamingandVlogs]

i make pizza sometimes (yearly) and its SOO good

[@dragonflyneb]

Beautiful pizza! Thank You for sharing.

[@isabellelawrence8267]

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my comment. The yogurt is made the way Mom likes it, custard style. It's pretty time and labor intensive for someone with my spinal condition, but it would be a cinch for a healthy person. I would be happy to send you the recipe if you have a p.o. Box.

[@TomMillsFamily]

I got your message! Thanks alot, looking forward to it.

[@melissasfrugalfinds]

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@devinh5118]

Did your husband work at a pizzeria before?

[@St3phanie3e]

I just made this and the crust is amazing! I can't believe how it turned out on the bottom. I definitely need to find some better quality cheese for next time

[@TomMillsFamily]

Good Job! Yes the crust makes it amazing no matter what. Before I had the diner order us cheese we had some success with whole milk mozzarella. One of the things you can do is maybe cook with it covered longer, and then uncover it for only 2 or 3 minutes. Regular cheese from the store just burns and dries out too fast. I also considered spraying the top lightly with a water bottle once in a while through cooking to deal with the problem.

[@ellay6879]

did you just call naruto a cartoon???? *weeaboos scream*

[@TomMillsFamily]

Hahahaha actually it bothers me as much as you to say it! I just figured most people wouldn't know what an anime was lol!

[@ellay6879]

Haha it's okay, it was a sarcastic tone but I'm glad you understand what I was talking about

[@Kitkat-bk8pe]

thanks for sharing!!! looks awesome.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Woot! This looks delicious! The Drummer makes pizza for us on the outdoor grill! My favorite is Margarita pizza with fresh basil. Pizza is the perfect food, IMO. LOL! xojennyinseattle (The Bookworm)

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Does that pizza feed your whole family?

[@TomMillsFamily]

Yep pretty much, we got a few people who are really picky and not much into cheese and make a dinner out of the bread sticks. Usually have a couple of pieces for leftovers too!

[@Classickarseat]

Tom Mills

[@Angelaml222]

Does the 1 pizza and breadsticks feed your whole family? Looks delicious!!!! 🍕

[@TomMillsFamily]

Yep! A couple of my kids don't like cheese, and some don't like sauce, so they chow down on the bread sticks lol. It is also a 16" pizza, so bigger than a normal large pizza, and about twice as thick. two slices will fill up anyone lol.

[@Angelaml222]

Thanks for the recipe! I love watching you & your wife's channels.

[@vnaalwaysrodia3908]

wow now you made me want pizza well done !

[@hildamasi4665]

One pizza is enough for the family?

[@TomMillsFamily]

Yep! They are 16" pizzas, much larger than the biggest pizza you can get at a regular pizza place, they are alco about an inch thick, so a little goes a long way. We also have a few kids who dont like cheese, and so we make the bread sticks and they fill up on them. We may eventually need to make two however as the boys grow to teens.

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

This is awesome! Thank you! ❤️

[@alicerenae6929]

I am now making thursday nights pizza and naruto nights.

[@TomMillsFamily]

Haha thats awesome! It really is something we look forward to.

[@jeanspeer4053]

Wow! Looks great 👍!

[@annarenfroe2943]

I am going to try.👍

[@jojoply]

Only one pizza for your entire family?

[@TomMillsFamily]

Many of the kids dont like either cheese, or sauce or both lol, we even have leftovers most of the time. The pizza is also a 16" which is bigger than any pizza on the menu at Pizza Hut, we also make it much thicker.

[@briannconn]

Looks great,

[@justmeblomberg8940]

Looks amazing.

[@henriettadelgado4122]

what does the cost per pizza break down to?

[@TomMillsFamily]

That's a good question, I have never figured it out! I would not be surprised if it was more expensive than just buying one though!

[@susanhoward5479]

Looks lovely

[@kelsieb9509]

What do the kids who only eat breadsticks eat? Like besides bread?

[@TomMillsFamily]

Asher is a mega bread eater, he would live on only bread lol. They usually make themselves something like a sandwich or something

[@jennylyons2307]

Tom Mills omg same. me and Asher are a lot alike lmao.

[@shellylafleur7456]

And now I am hungry. That looks amazing.

[@TomMillsFamily]

Haha thanks! I am experimenting with the recipe to try something very different with it. If it works out I will have to make another video. Thanks for commenting!

[@shellylafleur7456]

Can't wait to see how the next version turns out.

[@mcg267]

I wish you'd have shown the bottom of the slice.

[@TomMillsFamily]

Ah a fellow pizza lover! You're right I should have done that! Maybe when I do the breadsticks one I can do that.

[@mcg267]

Lol! I loooove Pizza Hut crust. My mouth watered the entire video and I was going, flip it over flip it over! Next time 😀

[@ValeryCrickets]

Why frozen cheese?

[@TomMillsFamily]

That is just how commercial cheese is stored, it lasts longer, no other reason ;)

[@ValeryCrickets]

+Tom Mills Here in Italy we don't have frozen cheese in supermarket, so for us it's a little bit curious see it in a box. ;-)

[@TomMillsFamily]

Yes you are right, we don't have it in the supermarket either. I had a diner get this from a cheese manufacturer that supplies cheese to pizza restaurants.

[@ValeryCrickets]

+Tom Mills Oh... now I understand! Sorry... ahahah! :-D

[@TomMillsFamily]

:)

[@calebshipley9831]

Oh my goodness! Pizza is my favorite! I am so hungry with no pizza in sight. How many pizzas do you make to feed your family every week? Thanks for sharing. ~SARA

[@TomMillsFamily]

We usually get by with one 16" pizza and breadsticks, not all of the kids like cheese or sauce or both :P

[@maddie.1237]

I did not know you had a dog

[@heidihanson1892]

I love that dog!!! So handsome and awesome with the kiddos. He absolutely melts my heart. I hope the steroids are helping his skin condition.
