About This Article
To make pizza from scratch, start by mixing water, yeast, salt, and sugar in a bowl. In a separate mound of flour, use your fingers to form a deep well with high walls, and pour your wet mixture in the well to make your dough. Then, knead the dough for 10 minutes before allowing it to rise in an oiled bowl for 1 hour. Once it has risen, cut the dough in half, flatten and shape the dough into a circle, and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Next, add your pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings, like pepperoni. Finally, place the pizza in a 450°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, slice, and serve.
