Making Pizzas

Leave a reply

Pizza can be so much fun to make. I find the dough to be quite easy to work with you work it slowly. Spread the dough on the sheet then let it rest for a few minutes and stretch a little more. Repeating until you get the desired size and thickness. I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 8 Cups Flour
  • 1 cup multigrain flour
  • one packet of active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 4 cups warm water
  • 2 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Directions:

  1. Mix together 1 cup of the warm water with 1 tsp sugar and sprinkle with yeast. Let the mixture sit until it starts to ferment (about 5 minutes).
  2. Next whisk together 1 cups water with, salt, sugar, and oil. Add this to the yeast mixture along with 1 cup of flour and whisk until smooth.
  3. Slowly add the rest of the flour while mixing with a wooden spoons or mixer with a dough hook attachment, (Note: When mixing with a wooden spoon stir until the dough starts coming away from the sides of the bowl and a ball starts to form. Switch to your hands and knead the dough while adding the rest of the flour). It’s best to move the dough to a floured surface. The dough is ready when is smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it proof in a greased bowl with a damp towel over it for 45-60 minutes then its ready to use.

Pizza sauce

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
  • 1- 12 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • A dash of hot sauce (optional)

Directions:

  1. Mix everything in a pot and bring it to a bubble and cool. I don’t even bother sometimes. I just use it mixed cold, it’s gonna be cooked on the pizza anyway.

You can use store bought sauce or you can check out my recipe on how to make tomato sauce on my YouTube page. Simple Fresh Tomato Sauce

Have fun with this recipe. You can make the pizzas as big or as small as you like. They can be portioned and frozen for later use as well. I make bbq chicken or pork, Donair and many more. Don’t forget the garlic bread.
