Bring the enchanting flavors of Italy right into your kitchen with our Tempting Tastes Homemade Pizza Recipe. This delightful dish starts with a homemade dough, which is topped with a tangy tomato sauce, melty mozzarella, and your favorite toppings – a fun and flavorful meal the whole family will love!
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 3/4 cup of warm water
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
For the toppings:
- 1 cup of pizza sauce
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it’s frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1-2 hours, or until it’s doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Roll out the dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out into your desired pizza shape on a piece of parchment paper.
- Add the toppings: Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the sauce, then add your favorite pizza toppings.
- Bake the pizza: Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- You can also use store-bought pizza dough if you’re short on time.
- The pizza will cook more evenly if you preheat the pizza stone.
