Homemade pizza really can be made in less time than it takes for delivery, crust included!
The crucial element is the dough recipe, which I found on COOKIE + kate years ago and have been using ever since. It’s versatile, comes together in less than 20 minutes, and tastes great. Plus when you make your own dough, you can roll it to your desired thickness. Win/win! My other recommendation is use the highest quality ingredients you can find, organic and fresh really make a difference in something like this. Personally I like caremelized onions, bacon, chicken, basil, oregano, and parmesan and mozzerella for the cheeses.
I also use this basic white pizza sauce, but if you prefer tomato based, knock youself out! Any sauce will work!
- 1/2 cup estra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp minced fresh garlic
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
