Pizza at home

I guess a lot of people have wanted to try making pizza at home. So I tried it myself, making everything but the cheese from scratch.

As my first test I'm trying to use bread dough to form the base. It seemed like it would work up until I tried to hammer out some bases. I think I lack the technique to stretch the dough :(

3 cups bread flour, 1 1/2 cups water and extra virgin olive oil

After 18 hours of fermentation and rising

Ready for the oven (shouldn't have put the basil there yet)

Delicious! Lacking the crust but the elements are present
Notes:
  • Basil should be added after baking
  • Need a pizza stone to get right crust
  • Learn to toss pizza dough
  • Use better cheese
