Hi it's Rosie from I Heart Recipes, and I'm going to show you how to make my
homemade pizza. We're making homemade pizza dough, homemade sauce, and we're
going to get a little crazy with the toppings. Let's get started.
Okay so we're going to start off with the pizza dough. This is really easy. All
you need, you're going to start off with some warm water. Pour it into a large
bowl. You're now going to sprinkle in your active dry yeast. The yeast needs
something to feed off of, so we're going to sprinkle in some granulated sugar, and
now we're just going to mix everything until it's well combined and dissolved.
You're going to let this sit for about five to seven minutes, or until it foams
and it looks like this. And now we're going to pour in some more warm water, so
pour that water in. And now we're going to drizzle in some extra virgin olive
oil, and followed by the olive oil, we're going to sprinkle in a little bit of
salt. Next we're going to start adding in our flour and the flour that I am
using is bread flour. My next step will just be making sure everything is well
combined. And I'm going to use my stand mixer, but you can definitely use - or do
this by hand, or you can use a handheld mixer if it has dough hooks. So once the
dough is nice and sticky, just like this, we're going to remove it from that bowl
there. And again, if you're using your hands, you're going to need to knead the
dough for about ten minutes. My machine did most of the work, but I'm going to
use the same bowl. And I'm going to just drizzle in some oil, and I'm going to use
my hands. Of course, my hands still have oil on it, so with that hand, I'm going to
grab my dough and I'm going to lightly coat the dough with the oil that I have
on my hands. Our next step will be covering this, and we're going to let it
sit for about one and a half hours. And while the dough is resting, you need to
make sure that it is in a warm spot. So now let's work on our pizza sauce. And
this is really easy. This is my recipe, it may not be a pizza sauce that you're
accustomed to, but it really works. My family loves it. So you're going to need
some tomato paste, and you're going to pour in some water. Mix everything until
it's well combined. And now we're going to drizzle in some olive oil. Please
don't forget to give this video a thumbs up or like the video, I would really
appreciate that, thank you in advance. And we're going to turn the heat up to
medium at this time. Next, let's sprinkle in our seasoning. So I'm using some
Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, garlic, and some more spices. For the exact
measurements and the recipe, come visit me on my blog, IHeartRecipes.com. And
I'm going to add in some grated Parmesan cheese. I cooked my sauce for about 10
minutes or so over medium heat. And after that timeframe, I just removed it from
the heat and I let the sauce cool down. Now let's work with our dough. So it has
doubled in size. I'm going to deflate it with my fist and I'm going to use
parchment paper on my pie pan. You definitely don't have to. I sprinkle some
cornmeal at the bottom of the pan. And I'm just going to use my hands, and I'm
going to press the dough until it is nice and flat and it fits the size of my
pan. I don't do any tossing or flipping or stretching. This is really easy, and it
works fine. So now it is time to build our pizza. We're going to slather on some
sauce. You can be as heavy or as light with the sauce as you want. I usually
leave about a half an inch of the perimeter free, you know, you want the
crust be free. You don't want everything all saucy and cheesy, or maybe you do. But for
the cheese, I'll be using some - a mixture of cheddar - it's mild cheddar and
mozzarella. You can use whatever toppings that you choose to use. I'm going to use
pepperoni, and I'm doing a half and half, so half is for me and my son, and the other
half is my hubby's. So he likes beef, he likes lots of peppers, and he also likes
lots of onions. It's kind of like a taco-style pizza, but yeah. Get creative, do
whatever you like. What are your favorite toppings, what do you like on your pizza?
Let me know, and leave that down below in the comment section. And I'm just going
to add a little color using parsley flakes. I remember going to Papa Murphy's
and I watched them do this and I thought it was so cool, and I thought the pizza
was really pretty, so I started doing that as well. But that is it! I'm just
going to place this in the oven on 375 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
And I put it in the middle rack. A lot of people always ask me which rack. But this
is what it looked like once it was done. It was so good. And again, you can put as
much toppings or as little as you choose. I want to thank you all for watching, I
truly appreciate it. Please do not forget to subscribe to my channel if you
