How to make pizza: step-by-step recipe

Step 1: Prepare the pizza dough

The dough recipe is simple. Mix 2.5 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Then add a cup of warm water and two tablespoons of olive oil.

Knead the dough thoroughly — it should be elastic, firm, and smooth.

Cover the bowl with the dough using a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour until it doubles in size.

*You may also use ready-made pizza dough, but it won’t be as tasty.

Step 2: Make the sauce

After the dough, it’s time to prepare the sauce. In a deep bowl, mix tomato paste, garlic, basil, and sugar. You can also use fresh crushed tomatoes instead of paste. You will need about 200 g of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Add salt and sugar to taste.

Place the mixture over heat and bring it to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Prepare the topping and bake

Once the dough has risen, roll it out to the desired thickness. Be careful — very thin dough may tear.

Sprinkle a baking tray with flour and place the dough on it. Spread the sauce evenly and add the topping — pepperoni, chili (optional), mozzarella, and parmesan (grated). You may also add mushrooms or other ingredients to your liking.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and bake the pizza for 15–20 minutes.

Step 5: Enjoy

That’s it — your homemade pizza is ready! Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving and enjoy.
