Homemade Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • pour in your water and add your yeast. Since yeast feeds on sugar, add your honey here too. I give it a little mix in the mixer and then let it sit for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Once your yeast is bubbly, it is time to add the rest of the ingredients. The oil and the flour. You will be able to tell if there is too much flour, if some flour is not incorporating and you will need to add a little water. Or if there is not enough flour, then the dough will be sticky and you will need to add a little more. You know you have the dough perfect when you give it a little finger pull and the dough is not sticky, but still has some give to it.
  • Now you need to knead the dough. If you have a good mixer with a mixing tool that can do it for you, then great. But you can take it out and knead it by hand. You will need to knead it for at least 5 minutes. Then let it rise for about 1 hour. I leave my dough right in the mixer.
  • Once the dough had risen, divide the dough into 4 chunks. Proceed to roll each chunk into a flat round circle. My pizza never comes out to a perfect circle. On a pizza stone, place your pizza. Att 400*, I like to cook my dough for a few minutes first to get it started. I pierce it with a fork so that the dough will stay flat. Then I take it out and add my toppings. Then it goes back into the oven of 400* for about 10-12 minutes more or until cheese is brown and bubbly.

    "pierce with a fork" to minimize air bubbles and pre-cook for a "few minutes". exactly the way i do it. for those of us with pizza stones and like thin crust, that is the way to do it. this is the first time i have seen this in writting. would have saved me a lot of trial and error. nice post and recipe! i would add one thing i have found... if you pre-cook your crust its a good idea to brush a thin layer of olive oil on to the top of the crust before adding pizza sauce and then the other ingredients. this helps keep the sauce from being absorbed by the crust - no more mushy crust.
