How to make pizza
I’ve been messing around lately, on how to make a nice pizza. I have a bad history of making pizzas that taste like nothing, but this new one I’m making, is actually quite ok. Read on for instructions w/ pictures.
They say that the sauce is the most important part of a pizza. So far I’ve been using premade sauce, which isn’t that bad, but a homemade is better. You just get half a liter of tomato juice, put it in a pan, and let it simmer for about an hour. It’ll thicken up. Put in a fist of sugar, some salt, a teaspoon of oregano and that’s about it. You’ll have your sauce. Here’s the sauce about 40 minutes in, simmering:
Then, you wanna make your dough. Basically just water, yeast (fresh or dry, who cares), olive oil, salt, …
Roll it out:
Get your ingredients ready: I like paprika, ham, mozarella, feta, …
Rub some olive oil on the dough and give it 5-10 minutes in the oven on high heat.
Should come out like this:
Now, put on the toppings in this order: Sauce, cheese and then the rest. It’s important that you do it that way. You’ll see why when you’re done.
In the oven it goes.
10-15 minutes later:
Mmmmmmmmm. Comments welcome :)
Looks fantastic, so if looks and taste go hand in hand that should be a prima pizza :)
