Homeade Pizza

We do homemade pizza in our house. We have three kids and they love to have contests on who's pizza recipe will taste the best. We buy the frozen dough balls at Sam's Club (where they sell the hot dogs, ice cream and pizza ). Dough is sold by the case and if I remember right there are 20 dough balls to make large pizza for about 18.00 dollars. The dough is delicious and tastes excellent. You just need to purchase the toppings your family will enjoy.

Eggs Florentine pizzas

Ingredients

6 bacon rashers
150g baby spinach leaves
2 medium pizza bases
1/2 cup (125ml) tomato pizza sauce
1 cup (80g) grated pizza cheese
2 eggs
100g truss grape tomatoes

Preheat oven to 220°C. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.


Add spinach to pan and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.


Place pizza bases on an oven tray. Spread evenly with sauce. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Top with spinach and bacon then crack an egg in the middle of each pizza. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with tomatoes. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and bubbling and egg is cooked as desired. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Hi, yes, I did once but I don't actually make a pizza crust, I just replaced it with slices of bread toasted and put different leftovers for toppings like beef, ham , bacon, grated cheese, and got some pizza sauce. That's it for my pizza

anyone can make pizza

For the dough:
3/4 cups (6 ounces) lukewarm water
1 teaspoon active-dry or instant yeast
2 cups (10 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

For the toppings:
For the base, classic red sauce or a white sauce, a thin spread of ricotta cheese, or a simple brush of olive oil
For toppings, sautéed onions, red peppers, mushrooms, cooked sausage, or bacon
For cheese, one or a combination of the following: mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, fontina, romano, and asiago

Set the oven to 500°F or as hot as it will go and let it heat for at least half an hour before making the pizza. If you have a pizza stone, put it in the lower-middle part of the oven now.

Combine the water and yeast in a mixing bowl, and stir to dissolve the yeast. The mixture should look like thin miso soup. Add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix until you've formed a shaggy dough.

Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface along with any loose flour still in the bowl. Knead until all the flour is incorporated, and the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. The dough should still feel moist and slightly tacky. If it's sticking to your hands and countertop like bubble gum, work in more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is smooth.

If you have time at this point, you can let the dough rise until you need it or until doubled in bulk (about an hour and a half). After rising, you can use the dough or refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Cover the dough with the upside-down mixing bowl or a clean kitchen towel while you prepare the pizza toppings.

When ready to make the pizza, tear off 2 pieces of parchment paper roughly 12 inches wide. Divide the dough in 2 with a bench scraper. Working with one piece of the dough at a time, form it into a large disk with your hands and lay it on the parchment paper.

Work from the middle of the dough outwards, using the heel of your hand to gently press and stretch the dough until it's about a 1/4-inch thick or less. For an extra-thin crust, roll it with a rolling pin. If the dough starts to shrink back, let it rest for 5 minutes and then continue rolling.

The dough will stick to the parchment paper, making it easier for you to roll out, and the pizza is baked while still on the parchment. As it cooks, the dough will release from the parchment, and you can slide the paper out midway through cooking.

Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce into the center of the pizza and use the back of a spoon to spread it out to the edges. Pile on all of your toppings.

Using a bread peel or the back side of a baking sheet, slide your pizza (still on the parchment) onto the baking stone in the oven. If you don't have a baking stone, bake the pizza right on the baking sheet.

Bake for about 5 minutes and then rotate the pizza, removing the parchment from under the pizza as you do so. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese looks toasty.

Remove the pizza from oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Repeat with shaping, topping, and baking the second pizza.

Let both pizzas cool for about five minutes before slicing and serving

I discovered an awesome recipe recently, you make it from scratch and it's in the oven in 20 minutes!

Mix 250g self raising flour with 150ml milk, 35g butter and a little olive oil until it forms a dough, roll it out flat, spread on it tomato puree, any veggies you want, and grated cheese, then bake at 220C or 425F for 10-15 mins

It's really tasty - once I discovered this recipe, pizza made it onto my weekly menu

I personally not, but my wife is Italian and she makes ones once in a while.

We make it all the time. Dough recipe just about like several have described above; flour, warm water, yeast, oil, salt & sugar.

I just made one for the super bowl, I make the dough without a recipe. 1 pack of yeast and it really doesn't matter how much water, I've used 2 cups and 4 cups of water with 1 pack of yeast with the same results. Add flour to the texture you like, more flour makes a sturdier crust, less flour makes a super airy and light crust great for pan pizza.

I like to make them from scratch because everything you buy is really greasy

I love the simplicity of that.

I think people often get too hung up following recipes to the letter. I've always viewed recipes more as suggestions or inspiration, just so I know what ought to go into the mix and roughly how much of each ingredient I might need before I start.
