How To Make Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• In large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles; drain. , Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each half into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese. , Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.

Steps:

• Mix together the yeast and sugar with 250ml warm water and leave to sit for 10 mins. Place half the flour in a table-top mixer with a dough hook, pour in the yeast mixture and beat at medium speed for 10 mins (or mix in a bowl, then knead with oiled hands in the bowl for 5-10 mins).
• Leave somewhere warm for 10 more mins, then add the remaining flour and oil. Beat or knead to a dough for a further 5 mins. Put in a well-oiled bowl, cover with a cloth and place somewhere warm to double in size - about 1½ hrs.
• For the sauce, heat the oil in a pan over a moderate heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 mins, stirring constantly. Add the garlic, 1 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp ground black pepper and cook for 2 mins more. Add the tomatoes and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for a good 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Once your dough has doubled in size, slap it down on a lightly floured surface and knead for 4 mins until soft but not too elastic. Divide into 6 pieces, roll into balls and leave to rest for 10 mins. Heat oven to the highest temperature possible (270C fan in the Good Food test kitchen) and place a flat baking sheet in the oven.
• With a well-floured rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough as thinly as possible. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, oil or dust with flour, then carefully transfer the dough base onto it. Spread over some of the tomato sauce (I like to apply it in the quantity that you would spread Marmite on toast, or the base will be soft and fall to bits), then the cheese and any toppings you desire.
• Cook for between 5-10 mins depending on your oven temp, until the base is crisp and the cheese melted. Scatter with basil.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to about 180 degrees.
• Buy ready-made pizza bases, such as McCains Ready-Made Pizza Bases if you are short on time. If you have plenty of time, then you can just get dough. To make the method faster, don't get a huge pizza if you're only serving yourself or two. You don't want to take forever making your pizza.
• Spread tomato paste on your pizza base. It is a good idea to buy one that is specially made for pizzas. (For a spicier flavor, you can use any kind of spaghetti sauce, but mix about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with the spaghetti sauce to make it less acidic.) You may want to sprinkle some Italian seasoning with the sauce as well. Make sure you don't put tomato base on the outside part of the pizza, or you won't have a crust for your pizza. Don't make the sauce layer too thick or too thin.
• Put a layer of ham onto your pizza. Use nice, wholesome and delicious ham for your pizza to help it taste better. If a brand claims that it is the best ham, buy it, taste it, and see for yourself. In order to find the best ham, take a whole bunch of ham from the store. It doesn't have to be the perfect ham, just the ind of ham that you like. Some people prefer smoked, while others prefer cooked ham, or honey ham. It all depends on you, and a couple of other people to help take "votes". Make sure that it is within its use-by date. Ham is optional because some people don't like ham in their pizza.
• Add a sprinkling of cheese. You can put as little or as much as you like, depending on your personal taste. Mozzarella pizza cheese usually tastes really nice on pizzas. Other people prefer other types of cheese. Just like the ham, it is up to you. Make sure that there are no spots without the cheese for your best taste. Some people don't like the cheese, while some don't want too much cheese. Common pizza takes the same old Mozzarella, but if you are feeling creative, you can use any cheese you want-with any amount! Try being creative if you are artistic, and if you area serious chef then cook the traditional way. The benefits of creating your own is that you can find a better tasting way of pizza, and it is more fun!
• Enjoy it by adding sliced olives to your pizza but make sure that the olives are pitless. You don't have to have olives, this is optional. You can take almost any topping you want, like extra cheese, sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, chili peppers, supreme, veggies, and others. Remember that it is your pizza and that you can do whatever you want with it. This time, you're the chef!
• Place your pizza on an oven tray sprayed with olive-oil, so that the pizza doesn't stick. You can use anything that prevents the pizza from sticking to the pan. This is important, and if you don't do that, you can end up without the pizza.
• Put your pizza in the oven, and turn it down to about 160 degrees. Too hot pizzas can burn you, and then you'll have to wait to eat your pizza. You don't want to have to wait for the pizza to cool off. Plus, you can get distracted and leave it in too long, then realize that you forgot the pizza was in the oven, and then you have charcoal in the oven. Nobody wants their work to turn into burn ashes, don't they? This happens with some people.
• Take it out after about 15 - 25 minutes, depending on your oven. Use your own judgment to tell when the pizza is ready. The cheese should be a golden brown, but it should not be burnt.
• Grill Method (Faster)Spread the sauce all over the tortilla but you might want to leave a little crust around the edge. Leaving some around the edge will give you that delicious, crispy pizza taste. Also, it will give you that nice crust to eat later after the main part of the pizza is eaten.
• Put on your toppings and arrange. Remember, you can take any topping you want, anywhere you want. Just don't melt a pepperoni on a meatball!
• Grate the cheese over the pizza. You can use basically any cheese such as cheddar or Edam. Mozzarella cheese is the best for pizzas and it is the most common, but there are many cheeses to choose from.
• Simply put it under the grill. Be careful not to get burned and your pizza could sizzle and pop because of the common bubbles in the pizza crust. The bubbles form often in pizza, but the best pizza doesn't have bubbles.
• Take it out after three minutes, it should be done! Now you can enjoy your tasty work.
• Wood-fired oven method (Even faster)Get your pizza base, it can be any sort, although it can't be more than 2 cms thick.
• Place your tomato base and toppings on, do not be scared to put sausage, or any other raw meat on; it will cook.
• Make sure your Wood-fired oven is very hot for the best pizza ever and to help the pizza cook faster.
• Put your pizza into the oven, preferably on a tray so the base does not burn. Remember that you don't want your work to burn, and nobody wants a burnt pizza.
• Turn your pizza every 30 seconds for two minutes, and at the 1:30 mark take it off the tray. Now your pizza should be done.
• Take your pizza out and enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
• Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/3 cups warm water (105 degrees F) and the sugar in a bowl; sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the olive oil.
• Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture. Gradually stir with a wooden spoon to make a rough dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, dusting with more flour if necessary. Form into 2 balls. Brush 2 large bowls with olive oil, add a ball of dough to each and turn to coat with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour, 30 minutes. Roll out and top as desired, or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Sieve the strong white flour into a large mixing bowl, add the salt and pepper.
• Add the water, yeast, sugar and olive oil into a jug and leave for 3 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
• Slowly pour the wet mixture into the mixing bowl while stirring using a wooden spoon until everything is roughly mixed. Then, using your hands, further mix and knead the dough until it is elastic and slightly tacky but not over sticky. Place the dough in the mixing bowl and cover with a damp tea towel and leave for 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
• Take the dough and knead it for a few minutes to take some of the air out. Split it into two equal parts. If you are only wishing to make 1 pizza then you can freeze the extra dough.
• For the sauce, put all sauce ingredients into a blender for 30 seconds until you are left with a thick, light red sauce.
• Flour a work surface and using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is roughly the size of the pizza tray you are using. Place the rolled out dough onto the tray and using your fingers, work the dough until it fills the tray.
• Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil and then add enough sauce mix to cover the base spreading evenly. Sprinkle on the grated cheese followed by your topping choice.
• Cook the pizza in preheated oven at 200C for 20 minutes and then serve.

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup of flour with all other ingredients.
• Gradually add 2nd cup of flour until it forms a ball. Use your hands to form and knead the dough.
• Let the dough rest 10-15 minutes in a bowl covered with a dish towel or saran to keep it warm.
• Spread out onto greased pizza pan and top with your favorite toppings.
• Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes. Enjoy!
