1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
-
2
To make the dough:
-
3
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water.
-
4
Add olive oil, then the flour and salt.
-
5
Mix together with a dough hook (or by hand) at medium speed until well incorporated.
-
6
Set aside.
-
7
Prepare your fillings:
-
8
I like to chop up pretty much whatever veggies I have on hand.
-
9
Green peppers, mushrooms, olives, or whatever you like on your pizza.
-
10
Chop up your meat.
-
11
I usually use deli meat, but you could cook up a chicken breast and chop that up too really, you can use whatever kind of meat you have on hand.
-
12
Prepare your pizza sauce.
-
13
I tend to just add spices to a can of tomato sauce, but you could also just use a can of pizza sauce.
-
14
All of the filling prep should take about 10 minutes, which is exactly how long you need to let the dough sit for.
-
15
Take your dough out and knead it 10-15 times.
-
16
Divide it into 6 peices.
-
17
Take one peice, shape it into a ball, and then roll it out nice and thin (thin enough that you can fit the fillings in, but not so thin that it will just split open.)
-
18
Spoon on some pasta sauce, then some meat, peppers, and top with some cheese.
-
19
Pick up the dough on two sides and pinch together.
-
20
Do the same with the other two sides.
-
21
Then take the 4 open corners and pinch them up too.
-
22
Make sure its all pinched together really well so it wont break open while cooking.
-
23
Do the same with the remaining 5 pieces of dough.
-
24
Place on cookie sheet (lining it with parchment paper would make for much easier clean up then I had).
-
25
Bake at 325 F for approximately 30 minutes.
-
26
I kept peeking in at mine every 5 minutes after the initial 15 minutes, just to keep an eye on it.
-
27
When the top is golden brown, they are ready!
