How to make pizza
Pizza dough is made with yeast so it does take a little advance planning, but it\'s easy to handle and can be frozen. This recipe makes enough to learn how to make pizza dough for about two 12-inch pizzas. After the dough is ready all you have to do is put some tomato sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings on and put it in the oven.
Pizza Dough Ingredients
We will start on how to make pizza. You will need the following ingredients:
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon salt
Mix and Knead Dough Ingredients for how to make pizza
Start by dissolving the yeast in the water. While we are waiting for the yeast to dissolve, add the salt and rosemary to the flour. Give it a quick stir. Once the yeast is dissolved, add the olive oil. After you add the liquid ingredients to the flour, you can stir for a little bit, but pretty soon you will need to use your hands. And now, I have to abandon ship. Time to use my hands.
Once you have worked all the flour in, continue to knead the dough for another few minutes.
Allow Dough to Rise – important in how to make pizza
Once the dough is kneaded, we need to allow it to rise. Take some olive oil on a paper towel and apply that to the inside of the bowl, so the dough does not stick while rising. Now, put the dough back in the bowl, cover it, and let it sit for an hour or so. You will know it us ready when it doubles from its original size.
Heat Pizza Stone
The best way to cook pizza at home is on a pizza stone, which can be purchased at any kitchen or home goods store. What you want to do is heat the pizza stone for about 20 minutes at 425 degrees. It retains heat from the oven, and actually cooks the dough from the outside; giving you a nice, crisp crust.
