Make Your Own Pizza

Make Your Own Pizza

Cooking for Dad’s host shares his tips for make-your-own pizza and his recipe for homemade pizza dough.

Ingredients:

1 cup warm water (105 degrees F) 222 g
1 spoonful salt, sugar, olive oil each
1 spoonful vinegar (apple cider if possible)
3 spoonfuls active dry yeast
3 cups flour (370 g)
Olive oil and salt for crust
freshly grated mozzarella cheese
toppings of choice

Directions:

1. In a large bowl combine water, salt, sugar, vinegar and olive oil

4. Add your flour and stir until combined.

5. In a stand mixer, knead on low for 7 minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer, dump out on your counter top and knead it for 7 minutes – fold it over, push it down, repeat.

If it’s too sticky add a little more flour, if it’s too crumbly add some more water. It should become smooth and elastic. 

6. Form into a ball, place back in bowl, coat with some olive oil, cover with some plastic wrap, and set aside. Let it rise for 30 minutes. It should double in size.

5. Remove dough from bowl, cut into 4 pieces, form into balls and place in Tupperware. Place in refrigerator until ready for use – 30 minutes to 2 hours.

7. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

8. Place some parchment paper on a baking sheet, take a ball of dough and stretch or roll it out in a big circle, keeping it thin.

9. Sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and spoon on some pasta sauce and spread around, not too much. Then add your mozzarella cheese, making sure you can always see some of the sauce in between the cheese pieces.

10.  Add whatever toppings you want and then add a swoop of olive oil to the top.

11. Cook for 7 minutes or until edges of cheese are just turning brown.

12.  Cut into slices and enjoy.
