pizza: I have never made a homemade pizza but I really want to try. I like things that are semi homemade.also I usually buy pizza sauce for pizza snacks,but i dont think it tastes like real pizza sauce. whats a better alternative?|||best way to do this is buy a pizza stone for your oven and any pizza shop will sell you dough season the tomato sauce with oragano and add the cheese and toppings, the pizza stone will bake the dough just like the shop, just remember to keep the stone floured. |||make bread dough it tastes better u can use it just the same as pizza mix||| Pizza Dough III INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) * 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast * 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) * 2 cups bread flour * 2 tablespoons olive oil * 1 teaspoon salt * 2 teaspoons white sugar DIRECTIONS 1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. 2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, olive oil, salt, white sugar and the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Beat well until a stiff dough has formed. Cover and rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 3. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Form dough into a round and roll out into a pizza crust shape. Cover with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. |||The homemade sauce recipe I use is, 1 cup tomato sauce, not paste 1/4 cup barbeque sauce, your choice (smoky is good) 2 cloves crushed garlic 2 Tbsp oregano 1 Tbsp basil Mix and let sit for at least 1 hour Pizza dough ingredients 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour. Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour ( This is called proofing). Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for your favourite pizza recipe. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it. Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.|||Pizza dough is so easy to make, and doesn't hardly take any time, either. This is a recipe I use for pizza that works really well for bread sticks, too. To make bread sticks, I divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll into a cigar shape. Then, I brush with either melted butter or olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt, parsley, paprika then bake until golden. You can also make it a sweet treat by topping with a brown sugar and cinnamon topping, then drizzling with a vanilla glaze. Pizza Dough 1 pkg yeats 1 cup. warm water (105 - 115 degrees) 1 t. sugar 1 t. salt 2 T. olive oil 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour In a glass bowl, combine yeast and sugar, add warm water and let dissolve and "proof" (it will get foamy). In large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add yeast mix, beat vigorously about 20 strokes. Cover, let rest for 5 minutes. Punch down and pat evenly into a 12 inch pizza pan. Spread 1 to 1 1/2 cups sauce evenly over dough. Add your desired toppings, top with grated cheese. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for about 20 - 25 minutes, or until puffy and brown and cheese is melted.
