  • Home Made Pizza That Will Have The Pizzerias Jealous

    Want to skip the lines and find a bonding moment with a loved one? Making homemade pizza is the way to go, and honestly, the best way to go. You can be as heavy-handed with cheese as you like or not so heavy-handed. As for me though, I gotta have that teenage mutant turtle cheese pull.

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 to 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour*
    • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to a blazing 500 degrees F. Place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats and let it bask in the heat for at least 10 minutes.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar, giving it a good stir.
    3. Allow this mixture to sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy, with delightful bubbles forming.
    4. Gently stir in the olive oil to enrich the dough.
    5. Add 2 cups of flour and the sea salt, and mix it with a spatula until a dough ball starts to take shape (the dough will still be slightly sticky). If needed, add more flour gradually until the dough comes together.
    6. Optionally, if you desire, cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and let the dough rise for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
    7. Roll the dough into your preferred shape and place it on a piece of parchment paper.
    8. Add your favorite pizza sauce, Provolone cheese, and the toppings of your choice. Feel free to get creative and add whatever toppings you like, such as leftover roasted vegetables, to make it uniquely yours.
    9. Use a trusty pizza peel to transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven.
    10. Bake on the preheated pizza stone for 12-15 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is gloriously golden brown.
    11. Once it’s reached perfection, remove the pizza from the oven with the pizza peel and let it rest on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before indulging in a slice of your homemade masterpiece. Enjoy!

    Once you have created your homemade pizza and munching on it remember all the hard work and bonding experience you had to make this treat. As well as embracing your inner teenage mutant turtle doing that saucy chees pull.
