T and T's Homemade Pizza 

​

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup hot water (around 100 degrees)

1 package active dry yeast

Heaping tbsp raw sugar

4 cups flour

pinch of salt

2 tbsp olive oil

​

Mix water, yeast, and raw sugar together in a small bowl  and let sit 

for 10-15 mins (it should get foamy)

​

Mix 3 of the cups of flour and salt

​

Add foamy mixture and olive oil

​

Combine well.

​

Keep adding flour until you get soft dough

​

Knead 5 mins, clean bowl, lightly oil, put dough in bowl, and cover

​

Let rise two hours

​

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

​

Cut dough in half

​

On a floured cutting board or flat surface knead each half flattening and stretching into a circle. Try to get as thin as possible without any holes

​

Lightly oil two pizza pans and place the kneaded dough on each pan pressing the dough to the edges

​

For red pizza use tomato sauce as a base and for white use ricotta cheese mixed with one egg

​

Add toppings of your choice! Our favorites include: cooked mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini

If adding meat it doesn't need to be cooked before but it does need to be properly thawed. Sausage and pepperoni are our faves!

​

The trick- right after placing each pizza on it's own rack turn the oven down to 400. Cook for 9 mins and then swap pizzas and cook for 9 more minutes.

​

Let cool for 5 mins.  Pizza is ready to eat! Enjoy!
