Making Your Pizza Dough
When I make pizza at home I like to bake it on a cast iron pizza pan. I will put the pizza pan in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit while I’m making the dough. Using a pre-heated cast iron will give you a perfect crust: crispy exterior with a chewy inside. This can be baked on a regular baking sheet, it will just take longer.
Making the dough is very straight forward. You don’t need even need a mixer if you don’t want to use one. I have mixed it by hand with a Danish Dough Whisk and also used my KitchenAid Stand mixer. They’re both just as fast it just depends on your preference and what you have. You’re just mixing until it’s all incorporated.
While the dough is resting for the 10 minutes I use that time to shred the cheese and prepare other toppings.
Then while it’s baking you can use that time to clean up.
Another awesome hack is to use parchment paper when baking your pizza. When I first started making pizzas at home with the cast iron pan I was following other recipes that had you use cornmeal for the bottom to keep it from sticking. It worked, but it was messy and more of a hassle for me. I still get a great crust when using parchment paper and WAY less mess.
More Pizza Topping Ideas
BBQ Chicken: BBQ sauce for the base sauce, chicken, red onion, mozzarella. *I love having canned chicken on hand for this so I’m not prepping chicken and the dough.
Mediterranean: hummus for the base sauce, spinach, cherry tomatoes, kalmata olives, and feta cheese.
Mexican: pizza sauce, chicken or beef, taco blend cheese, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, topped with a swirl of sour cream after baked.
Spinach Artichoke: Brush the crust with oil, then top it with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, garlic, sautéed spinach, and tangy artichoke hearts.
Philly Cheesesteak: Garlic cream sauce, mozzarella, onions, green peppers, and cooked steak or roast beef.
