Learn How to Make Irresistible Homemade Pizza

Ingredients

Main

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of warm water
• 10 g of dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups of tomato sauce
• 300 g of grated mozzarella cheese
• Ingredients to taste for topping (ham, bell pepper, onion, olives)
• In a large bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let rest for 5 minutes until it foams.
• Add the flour, salt, and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth. Let it rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C.
• After rising, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it forms a circle the size of the baking sheet.
• Transfer the dough to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Cover the dough with the tomato sauce and spread the mozzarella cheese on top.
• Add the ingredients of your choice for the topping.
• Take to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the dough is golden and crispy.
• Remove the pizza from the oven, cut into slices and serve hot.
• For an even crispier crust, use a pizza stone in the oven.
• Try adding oregano and basil to the sauce for extra flavor.
• Let the dough rest longer to develop more flavor.
• Substitute the wheat flour with a gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
• Freezing the dough before baking is a great option to have pizza ready whenever you want.
