Prepare dough following steps 1-8 in the dough recipe above
While your dough is rising, prepare the pizza sauce
Liberally dust your pizza peel with corn meal (use more than you think you need!)
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pizza peel and pinch the edges to form a crust
Assemble and cook the pizza following steps 10-12 in the dough recipe above. I tend to use about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 4oz grated mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and pepperoni, but the sky’s the limit really
The pizza dough tastes better when allowed to rest and rise slowly in the fridge. Using a ton of store bought yeast for a quick rise is fine, but planning out the dough the night before is better.
It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I’ll grant it’s messy but it’s pretty easy!
