Homemade Pizza
- 1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon honey
- 14 ounce active dry yeast (7 g)
- 2 12 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 12 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 6 large tomatoes, skins peeled and stems removed
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon tandoori masala (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- DOUGH: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix water, sugar, and yeast together.
- Add olive oil and salt.
- Stir in flour until well blended.
- Cover dough with clean dish towel and allow it to rest for 30 minutes in an area where there is no draft.
- Flour a clean surface with 1/4 cup of flour.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, or until dough has absorbed the flour and doesn't stick quite as much to the surface.
- Press dough into a rounded pizza sheet.
- Or, divide the dough into five balls and roll them out to make mini pizzas, placing them on a cookie sheet.
- TOMATO SAUCE: Blend the tomatoes into a paste in blender or food processor.
- Pour into saucepan and allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Pour cooked tomato mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
- This should allow you to drain out all of the water from the mixture, collecting only the sauce.
- Set sauce aside.
- Heat oil in pan and roast the minced garlic for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the sauce, salt, and masala.
- Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Spread evenly over the crust and top with mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
- Cook for 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
