We love making pizza at home. With the right ingredients, it turns out 1000 times better than delivery.
We do use a pizza stone and paddle. It just makes the crust that much better. I highly recommend getting one. Just place it in the oven while it is preheating so it's nice and hot when you put your pizza on it.
Here's the tried and true method:
Crust:
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 cup warm water
Mix and let bubble for 5 min. Then add:
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 + cups flour
2 tbsp olive oil
Mix in a kitchenaid for about 7 min until the dough is in a ball not sticking to the bowl.
This recipe usually yields us 3 personal pizzas. One for each, and one for lunch for my husband at work.
Favorite toppings (in this order)"
Trader Joe's pizza sauce (it's the best, don't buy anything else)
Spinach
Red Onion
Bell pepper
Thinly sliced tomato
Salt and pepper slightly on veggies
Prosciutto (also from Trader Joe's)
Fresh basil ($2.99 for a huge package at Trader Joe's)
Fresh mozzarella
Pizza mix cheese (just to top off any spots without mozzarella)
Bake on preheated stone at 450* for 15 minutes or until the middle cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
If you do the math, I probably spend about $15-20 on the ingredients and I usually make the dough twice for a total of 6 pizzas - $3 per pizza? You can't get that with delivery.
Enjoy!
