Homemade Pizza

We decided to go for homemade pizza tonight. Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza would be my kids favorite. Of course, you can add whatever topping you like.

Homemade Pizza

Crust:
3 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 Tbsp butter

Pizza:
Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Toppings


Preheat oven to 450°

Mix and kneed for 5 minutes. Let test 45 minutes. Kneed and divide in half. Roll each half out to desired size.

Add sauce to edges of the crust. Homemade is best. Tonight I used the pre-made stuff and just kicked it up with a little sriracha, chimichurri paste, and pineapple juice.

Put 2/3 of the cheese you plan to use on the pizza. Add toppings. Pepperoni and pineapple in our case. Then top with remaining cheese. This helps hold the toppings on. Like a seatbelt.

Cook 8-12 minutes. When the cheese is golden brown, and the bottom of the crust is browned... It is done.

Cool on cooking rack a few minutes to prevent crust from getting soggy. Move to cutting board, cut, and enjoy.
