Ahhhh pizza! I love pizza & so does my family, but I don't like all the grease. Fold it & hold the pizza up for 5 minutes until most of the grease pours off.....Delicious, but not healthy. I started making pizza at home & I love it! Knowing exactly what goes into my pizza makes me happy to feed my family. The Cooking Light magazine pizza dough recipe is by far the best I've had. Have fun with it! Use a little garlic olive oil in the dough instead of just plain. Make a chicken pesto pizza instead of cheese!
Barilla jar marinara sauce is really good or you can just use fresh or canned tomatoes. Add about 3 tbsp of tomatoes or sauce on top of dough that you've baked at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Then add as much shredded mozzarella as you like. Add pepperoni or mushrooms or whatever toppings you prefer. We just made a plain cheese pie. Bake about 15 minutes still on 350 degrees & enjoy!
Pizza dough:
1/2 tsp sugar 1 pkg dry yeast about 2 1/4 teaspoon. 2/3 cup warm water 100-110°
1 1/2 cups of bread flour
2 1/2 tbsp cornmeal divided.
2 tsp extra Virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp bread flour
Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in a large bowl let stand five minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups level with a knife. Add flour 1 1/2 tbsps cornmeal, oil, and salt to yeast mixture stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface knead 5 minutes. Add 2 tbsps bread flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray turning to coat top cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts 45 minutes or until doubled in size. Punch dough down and shape into a ball in a bowl with cooking spray place still in bowl turning to coat top cover and let rise another 30 minutes. Roll it into a 12 inch circle on a lightly floured surface place on a 12 inch pizza pan or baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with 1 tbsp cornmeal and bake according to recipe directions.
