Why go out when you can eat in?
That dtatement would have never left my mouth before Covid-19. It is kind of funny I think we will all have life before covid, life during covid and life after covid.
So during this covid pandemic and time at home we decided to make our own pizza from scratch even our crust from scratch.
What is scratch anyway? Is that something you find in the store? This is something my uncle asks me everytime I say we made something from scratch.
We have had every kind of pizza, cheese, pepperoni, fresh mozzerella, sausage, homemade sauce, jar sauce, pan crust, deep dish crust, thin crust, crispy crust and we even had not so good doughy crust(I like doughy but this one time it just wasn’t that great🤷🏻♀️) we even had calzones and dessert pizza.
I wanted to share our pizza dough recipe and then you can top it with whatever your heart desires
My aunt makes a pizza awesome pizza with beets, mushrooms (diced up together so tiny even I would eat it, you can’t tell there is mushrooms in it)
I think Buffalo chicken or BBQ chicken would be a fun treat or maybe even taco
But our favorite one is the thin and crispy Supreme Pizza it has light sauce, fresh mozzerella, italiam cheese blend, pepperoni, italian sausage, red and green bell pepper, the BEST!!!!
Here is what you will need
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 1 package yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 cup warm water
Directions
- In a small bowl whisk; water, sugar, yeast let sit for 10 minutes
- In the bowl of your stand mixer add flour, salt, olive oil and yeast mixture
- Mix everything together using your dough hook for 5 minutes or until the dough is soft and elastic
- When it is completely mixed it will come clean from the side of the bowl
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, covering the dough in oil as well
- Cover with attic wrap and refrigerate
This will make enough dough for 2 large pizzas
