Best Tips For Making Homemade Pizza
- Even if you are using store-bought dough, make sure you give it enough time to get to room temperature and loosen up. This makes the dough easier to stretch and the crust fluffier.
- If you are using a conventional oven, turn it up as high as it can go. One big issue with homemade pizza is that home ovens can’t get as hot as a pizza oven. Crank that baby up to get better results.
- Try experimenting with different cooking trays, such as pizza stones, cookie sheets, and cast-iron pans. Each one will give you a different crust style.
- Don’t get cheap ingredients. I once bought shredded cheese so cheap that the strands didn’t even melt. Good ingredients lead to better results.
- Use olive oil to keep the dough from sticking to pans while it is cooking.
- Don’t put too much sauce, cheese, and toppings on the pizza. While double toppings is great, you could compromise the integrity of the crust in the process.
- Watch Binging With Babish’s tutorial on pan pizza. This video single-handedly tripled my homemade pizza skills.
- Be creative! This is your pizza. You can get regular pizza any day of the week. Make this pie your own.
- Experiment with different kinds of dough. There are a lot of methods and ingredients for different pizza doughs. You may just find your new favorite.
- Doctor up your sauce if you are using cheap sauce. Throw in some basil, oregano, crushed red peppers, and garlic to boost the flavor.
