The idea of making your own cheese pizza at home
is a bit intimidating. It seems like the kind of thing that only
professional pizzaiolos do. But I'm here to tell you, if you have the
right ingredients and some basic cooking skills, making a homemade
cheese pizza is actually quite simple. The best part? You can use this
recipe as a guide for creating all kinds of other delicious pies at
home.
Section: The first step in making a homemade pizza is
choosing your dough. This can vary depending on what type of toppings
and crusts you want to use - but we recommend going with a traditional
Italian-style pie crust if possible (I've included some variations
below). If not, you can certainly try some other types like crescent
rolls or puff pastry instead (just don't overwork them!).
Section: Once your dough has been prepped, let it rise for about an hour or so before moving onto the next step: rolling out your dough into one large circle using either parchment paper or silpat mats (there are lots of great options available online). You'll want to make sure that everything goes smoothly from here on out because once it comes time for assembly...well...things might get messy.
Section: Letting your pizza dough sit out in the open air overnight will help its rise even further (which means less work when it comes time to assemble). If that's not an option for whatever reason though - no worries! Just follow these steps closely after assembling your pie...and soon enough dinner will be ready.
Crust
Use good quality pizza dough. The best-quality ingredients will make your crust taste fresher and more flavorful than the store-bought ones you can find at your local grocery store. You'll also want to use flour as opposed to all-purpose flour, which will give you a crisper edge on your crust if done correctly (and trust us—you'll want it crispy).
Make sure that the dough isn't too thick or thin: The thickness of your crust should be around 1/4 inch thick; if it's too thin, then there won't be enough structure for toppings like cheese or sauce. On the other hand, if it's too thick then some parts of the pizza may not cook properly because they won't be cooked through by heat from below because there isn't enough room inside them for liquid from above to penetrate into during cooking time itself! This can cause burnt spots on top due lack adequate exposure time during baking process when exposed outside air temperatures rise above 140 degrees F (60 Celsius).
Sauce
Sauce is one of the most important parts of any pizza. If you want to make your own, use a good quality tomato sauce and add some herbs and spices to it. You can also add some fresh herbs such as basil or oregano for extra flavor.
Toppings
Toppings are what make a pizza truly great. You may have heard that you should use just cheese, but that's not true! A good topping can make all the difference in making your pizza taste delicious. Here are some of our favorites:
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced onions
Sliced mushrooms
Sliced green peppers (optional)
You can also add other veggies like black olives and pepperoni if you'd prefer; these will add more flavor to your dish while still keeping it light enough to enjoy after eating a large meal earlier in the day.
Cheese
You'll want to use mozzarella cheese, either fresh or shredded. If you're making a pizza with ricotta, you can use either fresh ricotta or shredded. If your recipe calls for Parmesan cheese, then go ahead and throw some on top of your pizza too.
The best part about using mozzarella is that it's super versatile—you can make so many different types of pizzas with this ingredient alone! For example:
Once you try this, you'll never want delivery again.
Once you try this, you'll never want delivery again. This is a great pizza recipe and it's easy to make at home on the grill or in the oven. The crust is made from scratch, so there's no need to worry about frozen crusts or store-bought doughs. The sauce is a mixture of tomatoes, garlic and oregano that tastes amazing with all of your favorite toppings! Finally, if you're looking for something special to put on top of your masterpiece (or if nothing else will do), we recommend adding some fresh mozzarella cheese cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick before adding them onto each slice after cooking as well as sprinkling Parmesan cheese over top just before serving.
