Open in Pepper →Pizza Night Beats Delivery Every Time
A homemade pizza costs a few dollars and takes about as long as waiting on the driver. Once you get a dough you trust, everybody in the house can top their own and nobody complains about dinner.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on Friday nights, on nights when the fridge is down to odds and ends, and on slow mornings when breakfast pizza sounds better than cereal.
Every recipe here is a real pizza somebody made at home: Chicken Basil Pesto Pizza, Sausage Breakfast Pizza on a biscuit crust, Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza, Pickle Wrap Pizza, Fig and Goat Chez Pizza, plus Homemade pizza dough and a super simple pizza sauce to build on.
Quick Tips
- 1
Heat the pan first
Put your sheet pan or stone in the oven while it preheats to 475°F, then slide the pizza on. The bottom crisps in the first 2 minutes instead of steaming.
- 2
Let the dough rest
Give homemade dough 10 to 15 minutes on the counter after mixing so it stops snapping back when you stretch it.
- 3
Go easy on sauce
About 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sauce on a 12-inch crust is plenty. More than that and the middle turns soggy.
- 4
Cook toppings ahead
Brown sausage and drain it, and shred chicken before it goes on. Raw meat won't finish in the 12 to 15 minutes the crust needs.
