And most importantly, homemade food tastes better because we cook for ourselves with soul and love. And of course, the Italian pie, beloved in Russia, is no exception.

I don’t like it when my family buys it or orders it to their home, so I cook it quite often. In addition, it is much cheaper than overpaying for a ready-made one. And, in principle, it doesn’t take much time to bake it.

I like it when there is a lot of cheese on the pizza and the base is not very thin. But this is all for everyone, so I will describe in detail several cooking options. I wrote a previous article about the dough. So you can look at the methods of preparing it or use those suggested in this article.

Pizza at home

Only from your own oven does the dish turn out deliciously tasty and only with those products that the author wanted to put there. However, the main thing here is to know some secrets and subtleties.

Homemade Pizza Recipe

First, let's find out what pizza is. This is a pie made from yeast dough, coated with tomato sauce, cheese and all kinds of fillings. Modern cooking has a wide variety of pizza recipes. And the key ingredient in pizza is the dough; everything else depends on its quality. It consists of yeast, flour, sugar, salt and olive oil.

How to prepare pizza dough?

Place the yeast and sugar in a container and mix with 4 tablespoons of water. Leave for 15 minutes in a warm place, the mixture should “foam.” Mix flour with salt, add olive oil, remaining water and yeast mixture. Knead the dough with a wooden spoon. After this, place the dough on a table sprinkled with flour and knead for 4-5 minutes. After this, put the dough in the container again, cover with a towel and wait for half an hour. The dough should rise by 2 times.

After this, place the risen dough on a flour surface and press it down with your fingers. Next, sprinkle the dough and rolling pin with flour and roll out. We fold the layer in four and roll it out again, giving it the appropriate shape. For a thin cake, the thickness of the cake should be about 3 mm, and for a fluffy one - 6 mm. Place the crust on a baking sheet or baking sheet.

Pizza crust can be made from either yeast dough or puff pastry. For the latter, you need to take 1.5 cups of flour, half a cup of water, 100 gr. margarine, a teaspoon of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt.

Homemade pizza dough

Chop the margarine with a knife, dissolve sugar and salt in cold water and quickly knead the dough so that it turns out smooth and shiny. After this, put the dough in the refrigerator for several hours. Then roll out the dough on the board 2-3 times, folding it 3-4 times each time. From the resulting cake, make a cake 1 cm thick, 25 cm in diameter and 2-3 cm in sides.

Tomato sauce for pizza

Heat oil in a frying pan, add basil and chopped garlic. After a few minutes, add chopped tomatoes without peels, add salt and simmer the mixture until smooth.

Cheese for pizza

Hard cheeses (Parmesan or Pecorino) will melt well if grated on a coarse grater, while soft cheeses (mozzarella) can be cut into thin slices.

In principle, you can add any domestically produced cheese, grated, which melts and stretches well, to homemade pizza.

Pizza toppings

Pizza with sausage is the simplest recipe. It will require a minimum of products: cheese, tomatoes and, in fact, sausage. On the finished crust we place diced sausage, maybe even doctor’s sausage, which is found in almost every home. It can be fried in advance for flavor.

After this, lay out the chopped tomatoes and sprinkle grated hard cheese on top. Place the future pizza in a preheated oven and after 20-30 minutes the dish is ready. By the way, the degree of readiness can be observed by the golden crust on the dough.

Pizza with mushrooms is a dish for everyone. Mushrooms add a piquant flavor to the pie. To fill this pizza, you should take 300 grams of peeled tomatoes, 400 grams of ham, 100 grams of hard cheese, 300 grams of fresh mushrooms (for example, champignons), 2 cloves of garlic, a glass of white wine, salt and basil.

Cut the champignons into slices and place in a heated frying pan. Add vegetable oil, chopped garlic and a glass of wine. Cook the resulting mixture for 15-20 minutes. After this, add salt. The sauce is made as follows: fry a chopped garlic clove in oil, scald the tomatoes, peel and chop. Place crushed tomatoes in a frying pan, add basil and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the sauce.

Grease the crust generously with tomato sauce, place ham and mushrooms on it. Sprinkle with grated cheese and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

By the way, for the simplest pizza you need a minimum set of products - tomato paste, cheese and seasonings - for example, a mixture of peppers.

Pizza, like in a pizzeria. Recipe

Experts say that real Italian pizza can only be cooked in a real Italian oven. Therefore, in pizzerias, workers use special equipment that gives the baked goods a specific look and taste. At home, we recommend using the following trick: place two baking sheets in a preheated oven (one on the top level and the other on the bottom) and, when they are warmed up, place the pizza on the very top. The secret is that the second baking sheet will take the heat and distribute it evenly to the top. This way, the dough will bake faster and acquire a special structure. How is pizza prepared at home? Read the simple recipe:

1. Knead the dough from 200 grams of flour, a teaspoon of yeast, a tablespoon of olive oil, water and salt. Cover the finished product with cling film and place in a warm place for 20 minutes.
2. When the dough has increased in size, place it on the work surface, knead it a little more with your hands, roll it out and place it on a baking sheet.
3. Fill the pizza with the toppings of your choice, sprinkle with cheese and bake until done.

• grease the surface of the dough with vegetable oil, and then pierce it with a fork in several places;
• it's time to lay out the filling: first of all, there is your favorite tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes, then rings of olives or olives, slices of sausage, and finally - cheese and chopped bell pepper;

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
