Ingredients:

  1. Pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  2. Pizza sauce (you can use store-bought or make your own with canned tomatoes, garlic, onion, herbs, and spices 
  3. Shredded mozzarella cheese (you can also use a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor)
  4. Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, olives, cooked sausage, etc.)
  5. Olive oil
  6. Cornmeal (optional, for dusting the pizza pan or pizza stone)

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  • If using store-bought dough, remove it from the packaging and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. If making homemade dough, follow the recipe instructions.

  • Lightly dust your pizza pan or pizza stone with cornmeal. This helps prevent the dough from sticking and gives the crust a nice texture.
  • Stretch or roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a pizza peel, transfer the dough to the prepared pan or stone.
  • Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, making sure to coat the entire surface evenly. This helps to create a golden crust and adds flavor.

  • Spoon pizza sauce onto the center of the dough and spread it evenly, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the entire pizza.
  • Add your desired toppings evenly over the cheese. Be careful not to overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone using a pizza peel. If using a pizza pan, place it directly in the preheated oven.
  • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Once the pizza is done, carefully remove it from the oven using a pizza peel or oven mitts.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Timing 

"The time it takes to make a homemade pizza varies depending on factors such as whether you're making the dough from scratch or using store-bought dough, the thickness of the crust, and the type of toppings you're using. Here's a rough breakdown of the time involved:

Ad

Preparation of ingredients: This includes gathering all the necessary ingredients, preparing the toppings, and preheating the oven. This typically takes around 10-20 minutes.


Preparing the dough: If you're making homemade dough, this step involves mixing and kneading the dough, and allowing it to rise. Homemade dough can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the recipe you're using and the rising time required.


Assembling the pizza: Rolling out the dough, spreading the sauce, adding the cheese and toppings, and transferring the pizza to the oven takes around 10-15 minutes.

Ad

Baking the pizza: The baking time can vary based on factors like oven temperature, thickness of the crust, and amount of toppings. Typically, the pizza will bake for 10-15 minutes in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C).


Cooling and slicing: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes after it's done baking before slicing and serving. This usually takes around 5-10 minutes.

In total, making a homemade pizza can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours, depending on whether you're making the dough from scratch and the rising time required. Using store-bought dough can significantly reduce the overall time."
