ULTIMATE HOMEMADE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY



Ultimate Homemade Pizza Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: flour, kosher salt, active dry yeast, water, cornmeal, flour, tomato paste, hot water, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, salt, pepper, garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried marjoram, cayenne pepper

Provided by Vaughn Vreeland

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

7 cups flour
4 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon active dry yeast
3 cups water, at room temperature (plus an additional 1-2 tablespoons of water as needed)
4 tablespoons cornmeal, or semolina, for the pizza peel
flour, extra, for shaping
6 oz tomato paste
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup, or honey
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Make a divot in the middle of the flour mixture and add a few tablespoons of water. Stir with a wooden spoon, gradually adding more and more water until the dough starts to come together. You may need a tablespoon more or less water, depending on the consistency of the dough as it forms.
  • Using your hands, ensure the dough is well incorporated, but do not knead. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight, or for at least 12 hours, until doubled in size and porous.
  • Make the sauce by combining tomato paste, water, vinegar, maple syrup, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, marjoram, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature for an hour before canning or jarring. Refrigerate as necessary up to 2 weeks.
  • Once the dough has risen, transfer to a clean, floured work surface and form into a large ball. Cut the dough into 6 equal parts and form dough balls by folding the corners into themselves.
  • Place the dough balls on a floured sheet pan, sprinkle with flour, and cover with a damp towel for about 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Preheat oven with a pizza stone in it to 500ªF (260ºC) or a low broil.
  • Work each dough into a disk on a floured work surface. Knuckling the edges of the dough and tossing it gently will help thin it out. Be careful not to rip the dough.
  • Place the dough disk onto a pizza peel generously floured with semolina or cornmeal. This will prevent sticking. Top with desired sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  • Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for about 9 minutes, watching carefully to make sure it doesn't burn. Look for the edges to become charred and crispy and the cheese to bubble.
  • Let the pizza cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
  • Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST HOMEMADE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Best Homemade Pizza Recipe by Tasty image

Making homemade pizza dough can sound like a lot of work, but it's so worth the bragging rights. The dough itself requires few ingredients and just a little bit of rising and rest time. While you wait for the dough to be ready, you can get to work prepping your tomato sauce, chopping fresh vegetables, or grating the cheese you'll put on top. Bake for 15 minutes, garnish with basil (or, let's be real, more cheese), and enjoy showing off your way-better-than-takeout creation.

Provided by Brenda Blanco

Categories     Dinner

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ½ cups warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
7 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ cup semolina flour
28 oz canned whole tomatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
tomato sauce
fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
fresh basil leaf
extra virgin olive oil
fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
ricotta cheese
fresh basil pesto
dried oregano
tomato sauce
fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
spicy pepperoni slice
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • "Bloom" the yeast by sprinkling the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and bloomed yeast mixture. Using a spoon, mix until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  • Once the flour is mostly hydrated, turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead for 10-15 minutes. The dough should be soft, smooth, and bouncy. Form the dough into a taut round.
  • Grease a clean, large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for another minute or so, then cut into 4 equal portions and shape into rounds.
  • Lightly flour the dough, then cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for another 30 minutes to an hour while you prepare the sauce and any other ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven as high as your oven will allow, between 450-500˚F (230-260˚C). Place a pizza stone, heavy baking sheet (turn upside down so the surface is flat), or cast iron skillet in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Add the salt to the can of tomatoes and puree with an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
  • Once the dough has rested, take a portion and start by poking the surface with your fingertips, until bubbles form and do not deflate.
  • Then, stretch and press the dough into a thin round. Make it thinner than you think it should be, as it will slightly shrink and puff up during baking.
  • Sprinkle semolina onto an upside down baking sheet and place the stretched crust onto it. Add the sauce and ingredients of your choice.
  • Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust and cheese are golden brown.
  • Add any garnish of your preference.

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb pizza dough, left at room temperature for 1 hr
semolina flour, for dusting
olive oil, to taste
flaky sea salt, to taste
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
garlic chip, optional

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Dust a clean surface with semolina flour. Dust the pizza dough with more flour and divide into 4 portions. Roll out each portion of dough, rotating frequently, to a thin round, dusting with more semolina to prevent sticking. Use a fork to poke holes all over the pizza crusts.
  • Gently heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add 1 pizza dough to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side for 2 minutes more. Use a fork to puncture any air pockets that rise as the dough cooks. Transfer the cooked pizza crust to the wire rack to cool and sprinkle with flaky salt. Repeat with the remaining dough, adding more olive oil as needed.
  • Top the crust with the tomato sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, and garlic chips, if using.
  • Slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Plan Ahead: Begin the process at least 3 days before you want to enjoy your pizza. This allows ample time for the dough to ferment and develop its complex flavors.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference in the final product. Choose a flavorful tomato sauce, premium cheese, and your favorite toppings.
  • Proper Hydration: Ensure the dough has the right consistency by adjusting the amount of water. It should be slightly sticky but not too wet or dry.
  • Knead and Fold: Kneading and folding the dough helps develop its gluten structure, resulting in a pliable and elastic dough that bakes evenly.
  • Control the Rise: Keep the dough in a warm, draft-free environment to allow it to rise properly. Avoid over-proofing, as this can lead to a dense and chewy crust.
  • Stretch Gently: When shaping the dough, handle it gently to avoid tearing. Use your fingertips to stretch it out, starting from the center and working your way outward.
  • Use a Hot Oven: Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. This creates a crispy crust and prevents the toppings from overcooking.
  • Monitor the Bake: Keep an eye on the pizza while it bakes. The edges should be golden brown, and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
