home made pizza from scratch

For the dough

in a cup put the warm water (40 degree s)and the sugar and 2 tablespoons yeast give it a good stir and cover for 10 mins

if it's too cold the yeast mixture might take longer to proof (form a nice foam on the top) might take 20 minutes

in a bowel mix all remaining dry components together and place the water slowly while stirring. dont put all the water at once as sometines there is humidity in the flower. when a nice ball of dough is formed make a whole in its middle

place the 1 tsp olive oil and knead for 10 minutes or 5 minutes in bread machine

for the pizza sauce

cut gently through the bottom skin of the tomatos forming a small X

in the boiling water drop the tomatos for 1 min until the skin starts to peal

take out and under cold water peal the tomatos skin and squeeze until seeds are out

give the tomato balls a little blend in your blender with about 1/4 cup of water

baking the pizza

preheat oven to 425°F

if you use a pizza stone preheat that

take the pizza balls and form your dough on a surface with a mix of flower and little corn flower. "dont make it too thick or it wont bake inside"

I make pan pizza so I bake mine for 3-5 min before placing my toppings

if you use a pizza stone place your sauce and toppings the place for 15-20 min

have fun and enjoy:)
