Homemade Pizza from Scratch

Picture walk through coming soon!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup warm water

• 2 1/4 tsp. instant yeast

• 1 tsp. granulated sugar

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 2 cups all purpose flour plus more for kneading

• No stick cooking spray

Equipment:

• A large pizza pan

• Rolling pin

• Large bowl

• A clean kitchen towel

• and something sturdy to stir with (I usually use a chop stick)

Directions:

1. Spray your pizza pan with no stick spray and set to the side for later

2. In a large bowl add your warm water, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. give it a quick stir and let sit for about 5 mins

3. Add in your 2 cups all purpose flour and stir together until you get a loose dough

4. Using your hands knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 mins

5. Use your rolling pin to roll the pizza out to roughly the size of your pan

6. Transfer the dough to the pan and finish shaping your dough to fill the entire pan

7. Cover the pizza with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for about an hour (you could ahead and top bake it now but it’s better if given a chance to rise)

8. Start your oven preheating to 500 degrees

9. Uncover your crust and top with your desired sauce (I have a wonderful homemade marinara on my sauces page), cheese, and toppings

10. Bake for 10-12 mins depending on the number of toppings you put on your pizza
