I’ll give you the recipe for the finest homemade pizza dough:
Recipe for the best pizza crust you’ve ever made at home
Three cups of all-purpose flour.
1 teaspoon of dry active yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Warm water in a cup
Instructions:
Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a big bowl.
Add the olive oil and warm water to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 5–10 minutes, until it is smooth and springy.
Put the dough back in the bowl and put a clean dish towel over it. Let the dough rise in a warm place without drafts for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and split it in half.
On a greased surface, roll out each piece of dough into a 12-inch circle.
Put each pizza dough on a pizza pan or baking sheet that has been lightly greased.
Add your favorite toppings and bake in a prepared 425°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Enjoy your homemade pizza!
How to make your own pizza sauce at home
Here’s a simple way to make your own pizza sauce:
Ingredients:
1 can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
1 spoonful of olive oil
1 teaspoon of dry oregano
1 pinch of dried basil
1/2 milligram of garlic powder
To taste, salt and pepper
Instructions:
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pan.
Stir well to mix everything together.
Bring the sauce to a low boil, then turn down the heat.
Let the sauce boil for 20 to 30 minutes, turning it every now and then, until it reaches the thickness you want.
Take the sauce off the stove and let it cool down before you put it on your pizza.
You can change the spices to your liking, and if you want the sauce to taste better, you can add more garlic, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
