Homemade Pizza

HOMEMADE PIZZA

Everyone has a favorite neighborhood pizza parlor, but sometimes you want something a little fresher, maybe less greasy, and definitely more homecooked. If you have fond memories of making personal pizzas in your flour-covered kitchen as a kid, these recipes are a fun way to make homemade pizzas that still feel sophisticated and taste unbelievably good!

Make Your Base

To make your own pizza base, mix up 300g bread mix following the pack instructions. Don’t rise or knead it – just roll it into a rough 30cm circle on a baking sheet.

Or you can buy a ready-made pizza dough from the supermarket. Fresh dough is usually available at the bakery counter.
