Tips For Making Delicious Pizza At Home

  • For extreme pepperoni lovers, hide extra pepperoni under the cheese, and layer some on top too.
  • Look for fresh mozzarella cheese in the specialty cheese section of your grocery store, usually near the deli.
  • Your oven needs to be super hot for a crispy crust – make sure to crank up the heat!
  • If your dough is refrigerated, let it sit out for at least 30 minutes to help relax the gluten.
  • Go easy on the sauce. You want enough sauce for flavor, but not enough to make the crust soggy.
  • If you want a really crispy crust, stick the GoodCook AirPerfect Pan in the oven for 15 minutes to heat it up, then assemble the pizza on the hot pan and bake.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a medium GoodCook Mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water, and let it sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. With a GoodCook Stainless Steel Chef’s Knife, thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper to ¼” thickness.
  3. Add the flour, salt and olive oil to the yeast and sugar mixture in the GoodCook mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  4. For the red sauce: In a GoodCook Mixing Bowl, combine the tomato paste and tomato sauce, making sure there are no lumps. Add in the spices and sugar, mixing well.
  5. Place the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 16 inch round and transfer to the GoodCook AirPerfect pizza pan.
  6. Spread the red sauce evenly around the pizza dough. Place the mozzarella slices around the pizza, and then evenly distribute the veggies and pepperoni. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
