Homemade Pizza dough
Description
The Homemade Pizza dough recipe calls for pre-baking the rolled dough at a high temperature to develop a golden crust base that resists sogginess. Toppings include mozzarella, pepperoni, sliced black olives, and mushrooms, which add savory and earthy flavors. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes is optional for added heat. The pizza is finished by baking until the cheese is bubbly and hot, yielding a nicely cooked pie with a balanced texture between crust and toppings.
Cooking at 500°F with a pizza stone provides even, intense heat, ensuring the crust crisps while cheeses melt smoothly. Using a pizza paddle or cookie sheet to transfer the pizza back onto the stone maintains heat and aids in even cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough https://whatagirleats.com/artisan-olive-oil-bread/
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese grated
- 2 ounces pepperoni
- 1/4 cup black olives pitted
- 1/4 cup mushroom sliced
- 1 Tablespoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees F. If using a pizza stone, make sure stone is in the oven to pre-heat as well.
- Pre-bake crust for 5 to 7 minutes on pizza tin until light golden on the bottom. You don't want it completely baked.
- Return to the oven and bake until cheese is bubbly and hot.
- Return pizza to oven using a pizza paddle or the back side of a cookie sheet to slide the pizza back onto the pizza stone.
