Pizza is one of the most delicious foods in the world. Easy-to-make pizza is probably one of the greatest things ever. All you need are the right ingredients, delicious toppings, a little creativity, and maybe a little help from the kids. It's really hard to beat these delicious recipes.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Making Easy Traditional Pizza
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 230°C
Use the time it takes the oven to heat up to prepare the pizza ingredients.
Step 2. Make pizza dough or buy ready made dough
Of course, buying dough from the supermarket is as easy as getting it, although you can make your own dough in a few minutes.
Step 3. Give a little grease on the pan
You can use cooking spray (cooking oil in the form of a spray), olive oil, or butter. Place pizza dough or pizza substitute dough on the baking sheet. You can also use a pizza stone (a pizza pan that is usually made of stone or ceramic) or a rectangular pizza pan if you have one.
Many cooks like to use cornstarch sprinkled on the bottom of a baking sheet or pizza stone. Cornstarch makes cooked pizza easier to remove from the pan or pizza stone. In addition, cooked cornstarch (in sufficient quantity of course) makes the pizza crispy
Step 4. Add the sauce
At this stage, there are no restrictions whatsoever. You can spread traditional pizza sauce, pesto sauce (an Italian sauce made with pine nuts), or even alfredo sauce (parmesan cheese sauce) on the pizza. These sauces are available in supermarkets to speed up the pizza making process. Spread as much sauce on the pizza as you like using a knife, spatula, or the back of a spoon.
If you're in a hurry and don't have time to go out to buy ready-made sauces or make your own, you can always use ingredients you have at home. For example, spread pizza with regular tomato sauce. If you're really in a hurry, you can also use soy sauce
Step 5. Add toppings
Again, anything is possible when it comes to toppings. Use vegetables if you are a vegetarian, try different types of meat if you are not. Get creative and try some exotic ingredients like artichoke heart (a Mediterranean vegetable), pineapple, barbecue chicken or potatoes. Try anything and everything. Make sure that the meat is cooked and the vegetables are washed first. Some of the traditional topping ingredients are:
- Pepperoni (sausage usually made from beef and pork)
- Olive
- Sausage
- Mold
- Paprika
Step 6. Add the cheese
The traditional cheese topping is mozzarella, but you can try any type of cheese you like. Ricotta cheese tastes great on pizza as does feta cheese. If you want a more special taste, you can buy fresh mozzarella cheese, slice it, and sprinkle it evenly over the pizza to make a traditional pizza margarita.
To speed up the process, buy grated cheese to help speed up the pizza-making process. Grated cheese melts faster than thick sheet cheese, so you can start eating a delicious pizza right away
Step 7. Put the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until browned
When the pizza has been topped with the toppings you like, pop them in the oven. Let the pizza sit in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Watch your pizza so it doesn't burn. What's more, burnt cheese can spoil the pizza. The charred edges of the pizza didn't taste good
Step 8. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it rest for a while, then enjoy
When the pizza is golden brown, remove it from the oven. Be careful because the pizza is very hot. Put the pan on the stove. It seems a bit torturous, but you'll need to let the pizza sit for at least a few minutes for the dough to fully cook. Then, enjoy!
Method 2 of 3: Making Super Easy “Pizza”
Step 1. Use a regular pizza substitute
If you can provide pizza dough, that would be great. But in reality pizza dough is often difficult to make, and difficult to bake. If you want to make pizza using just the basic elements and it's okay to do a little trick (or improvise), use naan bread. Ready-made naan bread dough is widely available and can make a delicious pizza base. If naan bread is not available, try the following options:
- Pita bread
- British muffins
- Toast bread
- Tortillas
Step 2. Spread pizza sauce, pasta sauce, or even soy sauce on the bread
If there is pizza sauce, it will be delicious spread. However, pasta sauce tastes almost similar to pizza sauce and soy sauce and barbecue sauce can be used in a pinch.
Step 3. Sprinkle all the toppings
To make this super easy pizza, think about the ingredients you have in your kitchen. Start with a vegetable or two such as roasted peppers and stir-fried mushrooms. Maybe add pepperoni or salami. Sprinkle with garnishes such as black olives. If you want to experiment with some classic pizza combinations, here are some ideas to try:
- Chicken breast, artichoke heart, tomatoes and black olives
- Caramelized onions, sausage and dill
- Walnuts, prosciutto (dried pork slices), and blue cheese
Step 4. Sprinkle as much cheese as possible on the pizza
Mozzarella, asiago, and parmesan cheeses create a classic pizza taste, but other cheeses can also be used.
If you're using a strong-flavored cheese like gorgonzola or a crumb cheese like feta, sprinkle it lightly on the pizza. If you sprinkle too much, the pizza will taste bad
Step 5. Bake the pizza in the toaster oven or improvise in the microwave
For pizzas with bread dough such as naan, a toaster oven is ideal. This appliance only takes less time to heat up when compared to an oven. Bake the pizza on medium high for 5 minutes, then check every minute after that.
If you're not using pizza dough and you're really in a hurry, you can bake the pizza in the microwave. Microwaves can make cheese and toppings heat up quickly, but the resulting pizza will be soft and moist and not as crunchy as if baked in the oven. First, bake for 2 minutes, then check every 30 seconds after that
Step 6. Enjoy super easy and super fast pizza
Method 3 of 3: Trying Different Types of Pizza
Step 1. Make a heart-shaped pizza
Nothing can express the phrase 'I love you' more than a heart-shaped pizza. If someone close to you is a pizza fan, share this recipe.
Step 2. Make mochi pizza
If you're a fan of mochi or anything Japanese-related, this savory recipe will have your taste buds tickled. Simple, fast and different!
Step 3. Make a candy pizza
If you prefer something sweet to salty, you don't have to lose the fun of pizza. A pizza like this calls for chocolate, marshmallows, and a sweet topping instead of pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.
Step 4. Try making a pizza sub (a pizza that looks like a hotdog)
If you're a little bored with the standard round pizza, try making a pizza sub. This pizza is perfect for the busy pizza fan.
Step 5. Try making Chicago-style pizza
If you don't have the time or money to go to Chicago, you can still get a feel for this "windy city" nickname by trying this recipe.
Tips
- Involve the children to knead the dough and sprinkle their favorite toppings. Involving them is fun.
- Make sure the water used to dissolve the yeast is not too hot! Dripping the water on the wrist, as people do to make baby milk, is a way of predicting whether the water is too hot or not.
