How to Cook Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (105°F-115°F)

• 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast

• 3 3/4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing on the dough

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.

2. Stir in the flour, olive oil, salt, and sugar. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12-inch circle.

Tomato Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Once you have your dough and sauce ready, you can start assembling your pizza. Here are some ideas for toppings:

• Margherita pizza: Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil.

• Pepperoni pizza: Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni.

• Sausage pizza: Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, sausage

• Veggie pizza: Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, your favorite vegetables (mushrooms, onions, peppers, olives, etc.)

• White pizza: No tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, your favorite white toppings (feta cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, etc.)

Once you have your toppings assembled, bake your pizza in a preheated oven at 500-550 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
