Iced coffee with 1 part kalouha and 1 part baileys irish cream. YUM!You can find over 40,000 free recipes on my site.
Heres what i came up with for homemade pizza.
If you want to make your own pizza it can be done alot easier than you think.
ingredients:
Frozen bread dough (or fresh, or pizza dough or make your own)
Tomato sauce
mozzarella cheese
olive oil (optional)
cornmeal (optional)
toppings (optional)
grated cheese (optional)
Start by buying frozen dough from your supermarket, I actually prefer frozen bread dough to pizza dough. You can buy fresh dough but your going to pay more for it and have to use it up quickly, frozen dough can stay in your freezer for months.
Thaw the dough in a bowl covered with plastic wrap (its ready to use when it gets at least double in size and its room temperture, it will be all puffy.
Put some flour down on a flat surface and take a rolling pin and roll it out. If its sticking to the rolling pin dust the top with alittle flour (make sure not to use too much flour!, just enough so it doesnt stick). If you find your dough just keeps snapping back to the original size you need to let it rest a few minutes, once you do it should be able to stretch out alot easier. (You can also stretch it out by hand, i just find a rolling pin is easier and quicker)
I personally just use an old cookie sheet but if you happen to have a pizza stone or whatever special thing for pizza then use that, I really find its not nessessary though.
I have been using olive oil on the bottom of the cookie sheet, the dough seems to crisp up nicely that way however i have burned it a few times. Recently I have tried corn meal and it worked great, its alot better than having to keep an eye minute by minute so its not burning. You only need alittle cornmeal, dont over do it, just dust the bottom of the cookiesheet or whatever your using.
Next is just putting it all together, I found a great sauce to use if your too lazy to make your own is angies jarred sauce, it gives the pizza a kind of papa ginos type taste. I mostly use homemade sauce though. Dont oversauce, you will turn the pizza into a watery runny mess. Just a very very thin coat is enough.
After that dump on your cheese, and please use real cheese and not that low moisture fat free stuff, it just wont cook right, but if you gotta use that try drizzling alittle olive oil over the top, it will kick up the flavor a bit. Also you can sprinkle in some grated parmesan cheese, just alittle bit goes along way to better flavor.

When thats done you got your pizza, add any toppings you want and launch it into the oven. As for temperatures I have tried cooking it at every temp possible. You see in pizza restaurants they cook it at like 500 degrees, some even hotter. Try that at home and you will probably burn it, if your oven even goes up that high. I just cook it at 350 for like 20 minutes, sometimes more or less, depends if the ovens already hot, all ovens vary too, take into account if its convection or not too. My best advice is just keep an eye on the bottom of your pizza, its done when its done. You can try cooking it at 400 if you want, but again just keep an eye on the bottom of the crust. If you see that the bottom is already cooked and the top doesnt look as cooked as the way you want it, turn the oven off and finish it up under the broiler.
