HOW TO MAKE A CLASSIC CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• After you've made the dough, divide it in half and let come to room temperature, uncovered, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the oven floor and preheat to 500˚.
• On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Dust a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet with cornmeal and lay the dough on top.
• Spread half of the sauce on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Top with half of the provolone, then with half each of the mozzarella and parmesan.
• Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Makes 2 12-inch pizzas.

EASY CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Set one oven rack to lowest position and another oven rack to the middle position.
• Place a rimless baking sheet onto the bottom rack, then set oven to 500 degrees.
• Meanwhile roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle then brush with olive oil.
• Carefully remove baking sheet from oven (leaving oven temperature to 500 degrees) then slide the dough onto the preheated baking sheet using a spatula as a guide).
• Bake crust on BOTTOM RACK for 8 minutes.
• After the 8 minutes remove from oven and spread the pizza sauce into an even layer over the crust leaving about a 1/4-inch border.
• Top with mozzarella cheese and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake MIDDLE OVEN RACK for an additional 10-12 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the cheese melts.
• Using a pizza cutter slice into 12 wedges.

CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine biscuit mix and water; mix well. Press into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Spread with pizza sauce; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 450° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to bake the pizza to get the stone nice and hot.
• Generously sprinkle a flat work surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or unrimmed baking sheet so it can slide right onto the pizza stone in the oven. (I use the bottom of a baking sheet.)
• Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the oregano, then gently spread the marinara sauce on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust (my favorite part!).
• Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Use the peel or baking sheet to slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. The heat from the stone will cook the bottom of the pizza and the boiler will char and cook the top, mimicking a Neapolitan pizza oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is evenly crisped, 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Slice the hot pizza and serve immediately.

FOUR CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F.
• Stretch the pizza dough and fit it into 2 pizza pans. Combine the mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Asiago cheeses in a bowl. Evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the crusts. Top the pizza with the Pecorino and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the crust is brown and the cheese is melted, about 6 to 8 minutes.

HOMEMADE PIZZA

Steps:

• Sieve the strong white flour into a large mixing bowl, add the salt and pepper.
• Add the water, yeast, sugar and olive oil into a jug and leave for 3 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
• Slowly pour the wet mixture into the mixing bowl while stirring using a wooden spoon until everything is roughly mixed. Then, using your hands, further mix and knead the dough until it is elastic and slightly tacky but not over sticky. Place the dough in the mixing bowl and cover with a damp tea towel and leave for 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
• Take the dough and knead it for a few minutes to take some of the air out. Split it into two equal parts. If you are only wishing to make 1 pizza then you can freeze the extra dough.
• For the sauce, put all sauce ingredients into a blender for 30 seconds until you are left with a thick, light red sauce.
• Flour a work surface and using a rolling pin, roll the dough until it is roughly the size of the pizza tray you are using. Place the rolled out dough onto the tray and using your fingers, work the dough until it fills the tray.
• Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil and then add enough sauce mix to cover the base spreading evenly. Sprinkle on the grated cheese followed by your topping choice.
• Cook the pizza in preheated oven at 200C for 20 minutes and then serve.

HOMEMADE PIZZA WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Add yeast to warm water in small bowl. Stir in oil. Let stand 5 min. Process flours and salt in food processor, pulsing just until blended. Add yeast; process 1 min. Transfer to lightly floured surface; knead once or twice. Place in bowl sprayed with cooking spray; cover with clean kitchen towel. Let rise in warm place 30 min. or until doubled in volume.
• Heat oven to 450ºF. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 15x10-inch rectangle; place in 15x10x1-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
• Combine tomato sauce, garlic and tomatoes; spread over crust. Top with remaining ingredients.
