Are you intimidated by making homemade pizza? If so, you are not alone. Many people think that pizza is a dish that must be bought from a restaurant to be really good. Fortunately, they are mistaken. Pizza is not only easy to make, but you can make it the way you want it. You are not restricted to what is on the menu.
The crust is the part that most people are afraid of. The mere thought of making homemade dough will make people reach for either the freezer or the telephone. If they would just give it a try, most people would find that pizza dough can be pretty simple to make. If you have a bread machine to use, all you need to do is add the ingredients and turn it on.
A fast look online will reveal many recipes for just about any kind of pizza crust you can think of. If you are sensitive to wheat, use a gluten free recipe. If you are on a diet, choose a low fat crust. If you like whole grain, eat a whole wheat crust.
If you have never made pizza crust before, you may want to start with an easy pizza dough recipe. You can even make crust without yeast if you want. The important thing to remember is that crust really is not that hard.
It is pretty easy to make a basic crust. Basic ingredients are flour, oil, some salt, sugar, and yeast. That is it! You can mix this in a bowl and knead it on the table, or mix it in your bread machine and relax. If you are mixing it yourself, be sure to allow time in your plans for the dough to rise. It can take 45 minutes to an hour to rise.
When the dough is done, roll it out. You can add herbs, seasonings, even a little cheese if you want to add extra flavors. Spread a nice sauce on top, and sprinkle with the toppings of your choice to make your own perfect pizza.
Baking can take place in your oven or on the grill. Pizza pans are easy to find, or you may choose to use a pizza stone. A stone will give you a wonderful, crispy crust. Be sure to follow the instructions for using the stone. If you find that pizza making is something you truly enjoy, you may want to buy your own pizza peel. This is the large, flat wooden paddle that is used to remove a pizza from the oven. It works really well if you are baking on a stone. Some people have special pizza ovens built into their kitchens or even in their back yards.
Even if this is the first pizza you have ever made, it can turn out delicious. Just follow the directions in your crust recipe, and make the pizza as flat as you can. It does not matter if it is round, square, rectangular or somewhere in between. Cover it with sauce and your favorite toppings. Add a couple kinds of cheese to add extra flavor. Do not forget the garlic and herbs. Cook it for about 20 minutes, and dig in. You will never go back to frozen pizza ever again.
