Everything you need to know to hand stretch pizza dough and make crispy, bubbly perfectly round pizzas at home.
Homemade Pizza
Making restaurant quality pizza at home is easy with the help of a baking steel. Below you’ll find my favorite recipes for pizza dough, tips and tricks for achieving the best pizza at home, and some fantastic and creative ideas for pizza toppings. Delivery pizza is great, sure, but when it’s this easy to make at home, you can eat pizza whenever you like.
To use a baking steel: Preheat the steel on the top rack of your oven at 500F for an hour before baking. Use a pizza peel dusted with all-purpose and semolina flour to launch the pizza onto the steel and cook it for no more than 5-6 minutes, rotating halfway through.
