Easy, Amazing Pizza
I have been trying to perfect the home pizza for years. Admittedly, success has been spotty. I like pizza of all types, but sometimes, a thinner, crispy crust is perfect. I found this recipe for pizza crust on the Jamie Oliver website and I have not looked back. No waiting days for proofing and resting of the dough etc.
Making of the dough
This recipe uses the typical 00 flour, ground semolina, salt, sugar, olive oil and yeast. You can find the recipe free on the Jamie Oliver site here
Toppings
Here is where you can let your creative beast out of its cage! Do something that speaks to you. Vegetarian…go for some zucchini and peppers! Carnivore…pepperoni and sausage or, with my Portuguese husband in mind…chorizo and potato. YES! I said it…a chorizo and potato pizza can be in your future! For me, a pepperoni, red pepper and pineapple combination sounds amazing! Looking for some north African flair..? add in some harissa or Ras al Hanout to your pizza sauce. I was feeling the spinach and feta this week, but for anyone, the sky is your limit!
The sauce
Although I love a homemade sauce of any kind, I will say that there are some delicious jarred sauces that can be found, one that I used in this pizza recipe. I recommend Rao’s pizza sauce. Perfectly balanced and with very pure ingredients. Check their website and ingredient list here
