Ingredients:
-Dough. I didn't make it myself. Yeah its sorta cheating, but I bought premixed dough from Trader Joes for $0.99. Tough to beat, tasty too.
-Tomato Paste
-Tasty Italian Herbs (I used italian seasoning, savory, marjoram, oregano, whatever I felt smelled like I would like it in pizza. Oh yeah, and some chili powder for the sauce.
-normal pizza toppings. (meats, cheeses, etc)
-corn meal
-flour for rolling out the dough.
-olive oil
*protip: buy good quality ingredients. I get real canadian bacon, from a meat counter, cut off of a cured pork loin. Same with the pepperoni, from a real meat vendor, not the hormel packaged stuff. You will be happy you did this.
Get your tools out:
-Oven at 500?F
-Pizza Stone (required)
-Large Wooden Pizza Peel
Step 1:
Make your tomato sauce:
I used all the spices I listed above, tomato paste, water to consistency, salt (lots of salt), and garlic powder. its all to taste, but tomato paste needs a LOT of seasoning to get it to a good pizza sauce taste level. Garlic powder is a MUST.
Step 2:
Roll out your dough.
I let the dough warm up to room temp for about 45 minutes, gives it a few air bubbles but it rolls so easy.
