Evening Pizza Night: Simple and Delicious Homemade Pizza Recipe

Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked pizza filling the kitchen? Let’s make an easy homemade pizza that’s perfect for a cozy evening. This recipe is straightforward, adaptable, and oh-so-satisfying!

Homemade Pizza


Ingredients:

  • 1 sachet (7g) dry yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • A pinch of salt
  • 500g all-purpose flour
  • Your favorite toppings (suggestions below)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it sit for a couple of minutes until it starts to foam. This means the yeast is alive and ready to work its magic!

  2. Mix and Knead:
    In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix by hand until the dough comes together. Knead lightly until you have a smooth dough that’s just a bit sticky.

  3. Let It Rest:
    Oil the bowl lightly, place the dough back in, and cover it with a lid or clean towel. Let it rise for about 20 minutes in a warm spot.

  4. Prepare the Base:
    Once the dough has doubled in size, oil a baking tray and stretch the dough out evenly. Let it rest again for 15-20 minutes to get that perfect fluffiness.

  5. Top It Your Way:
    Spread your favorite pizza sauce or a simple olive oil and oregano mix if you’re out of sauce. Add shredded gouda or mozzarella, fresh parsley, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and any other toppings you like. For a spicy twist, try jalapeños!

  6. Bake to Perfection:
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the pizza for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Notes:

  • Don’t have gouda? Use any cheese you enjoy – mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix works wonderfully.
  • Experiment with toppings! From classic pepperoni to veggies, the choice is yours.
  • For an extra crispy crust, sprinkle a little cornmeal on the tray before spreading the dough.

Enjoy your homemade pizza fresh out of the oven. Pair it with a side salad or enjoy it as is for the ultimate comfort food experience!
