Over the years I've enjoyed eating pizza and now my favorite pastime is making them. I've collected many pizza recipes and brought them together for this website.
The website comes in 4 parts: pizza dough, pizza sauce, pizza toppings and a part where I talk about other related topics such as pizza stones and the history of pizza.
Some of you might be wondering what the benefits of homemade pizzas are in these times when you can order pizza online.
These are the 3 main benefits of homemade pizza (in my opinion):
Making pizza is fun!Home made pizzas are healthy, the ones from your local pizza delivery are not.You can adapt any pizza recipe to your own taste.
Zucchini dough differs from the traditional Italian pizza: its ingredients include eggs and the crust is made then baked and then the toppings are added. Zucchini dough contains less calories and has an entirely different flavor compared to the traditional flour pizza base.
Sicilian pizza dough has its toppings baked directly into the crust. An authentic recipe uses neither cheese nor anchovies. Pizza Hut's Sicilian Pizza, introduced in 1994, is not an authentic example of the style as only garlic, basil, and oregano are mixed into the crust.
Cooking pizzas with this dough should be done on a baking stone. Using a pan will produce a very soft "doughy" crust. The stone in the oven should be preheated to 500F for an hour prior to baking, and should be placed in the middle of the oven. (This recipe makes about 34 oz. Adjust ingredient amounts for your purposes)
Here's a quick and easy pizza dough recipe. You can make pizza dough with the aid of a food processor or a bread machine, but this recipe is done by hand.
With this recipe you can make a delicious crispy pizza dough. Your pizza will be thin and firm, with a nice crispy crust.
