Ask Lemmy

A middle ground I do often is buy frozen pizzas and then add my own extra toppings. They're usually so cheap and skimp anyhow that I look at it like buying a starter pizza shell.

It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I'll grant it's messy but it's pretty easy!

Dough recipe

Pizza sauce recipe

Pizza stone

Pizza peel

1. Prepare dough following steps 1-8 in the dough recipe above
2. While your dough is rising, prepare the pizza sauce
3. Liberally dust your pizza peel with corn meal (use more than you think you need!)
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pizza peel and pinch the edges to form a crust
5. Assemble and cook the pizza following steps 10-12 in the dough recipe above. I tend to use about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 4oz grated mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and pepperoni, but the sky's the limit really
6. Enjoy!

Well it depends on what you want to achieve. Because there is also the oven, which os important, and your ingredient.

I love making pizza since I was a teenager and I learned slowly. Internet was great for learning cold fermentation or about different type of pizza.

But you can make a decent pizza quite easily.

Maybe try focaccia first it's super fun. This is the recipe I use.
