Alternatively, most grocery stores have small, individual pizza dough disks that are prebaked and ready to use. This would be a great idea for each family member to have their own pizza.

You can also roll the dough out on your countertop. Just be sure to clean your counters before and after. Also, lightly dust your work surface with a little flour if you plan to roll out the dough.
Tip: Let the kids help you mold the dough! We aren’t striving for the perfect pizza, but we are making sure to incorporate fun and learning during the cooking process.
Next, spoon the pizza sauce onto the middle of the pizza dough, and spread it around with the back of a spoon or spatula.

We like to turn on the broiler at the end of the cooking time to get an even crispier crust and brown the cheese slightly. But, this is optional.
There may be some differences between dough, but prebaking the pizza crust is always a good move. Prebaking usually takes only 5 minutes or so. Then, add the sauce and toppings and return to the oven to finish baking.
If you don’t bake the raw dough before adding on the rest of the toppings, you could end up with a soggy crust that’s under-cooked toward the center.

The sky is the limit for pizza toppings! Add fruits, vegetables, different sauces, fresh herbs, Italian seasoning, and more for your own unique creation.
The key is not to go overboard with too many toppings. Start with a base or sauce, choose a cheese, and then meats and/or other toppings. Make sure your toppings “match” the flavors you are going for.
For example: If you use olive oil and garlic as a base, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, spinach, and Italian sausage would be delicious flavors that would work well together.

Classic red tomato sauce is always a winner! Alternatively, you could also use BBQ sauce, Alfredo sauce, garlic and olive oil, or pesto as a base for pizza.
Mozzarella cheese is the most traditional cheese for pizza. It’s easy to melt and mild in flavor. Other cheeses you might consider include goat cheese, fontina, smoked gouda, cheddar, or even parmesan cheese.

Leftover veggies would work really well on a pizza because they are already precooked and tender. Try caramelized onions, pickled red onions, fresh spinach, mushrooms, canned artichokes, sundried tomatoes, red peppers, bell peppers, and more.

[…]Grabbing some store bought pizza dough and creating a garlicky tomato sauce is the secret on how to make a great Margherita pizza.

The sauce ingredients consist of 4 cloves of garlic chopped up, 1 six ounce can of tomato paste, and some salt, pepper, olive oil, and a little water to thin out the paste. That’s it!
Add some oregano or fresh herbs in your pizza sauce if you like. I prefer to keep it simple and just love the flavor of a real garlicky tomato sauce.

I’ve said it before in previous posts – get the Costco tomato paste pack. It’s a great deal and I find I am always in need of extra tomato paste when making all sorts of Italian dishes.

I used the Trader Joe’s brand fresh mozzarella. It comes in a 16oz package which is enough for two Margherita pizza pies.
Normally higher quality fresh mozzarella will be wetter and stringier. It will also taste much better. As the price gets cheaper the fresh and regular mozzarella start to look and taste the same. For more info check out thisarticle on fresh mozzarella from cheese.com.

Best Store Bought Frozen Pizza: The Ultimate Taste Test
In my experience most pizza places will be happy to sell the dough to make your own pizza. It goes without saying, buy from a place you like.
And, if that’s not an option, Trader Joe’s pizza dough is a very good product. I can not vouch for other brands as I have not tried them.
Avoid buying dough from the chain pizzerias. I was reading the ingredient labels of a few companies and I could not believe how many things are in their dough.
How To Make Pizza At Home
Convenience obviously is the most important factor. I love going to the store and picking up a variety of ingredients for pizza night.
If I’m doing aNY Style White Pizza, I will grab some ricotta. Or maybe an anchovy pizza with hot pepper flakes and parsley. Delicious! Anyway you get the idea.

If I’m making three pies I pick up three batches of dough and let it sit out to warm up as I’m prepping the rest of the ingredients. Prepping three different toppings gives the dough the proper amount of time to warm up, so making a few different types might be a good idea!
How To Grill A Frozen Pizza
Let the pizza dough warm up to make it easier to roll out and work with. Just leave it out the whole time after leaving the store. Place it in a bowl with a couple tablespoons of olive oil drizzled on top.
Flour your hands, the cutting board, and the rolling pin to prevent sticking. Let the gravity of the dough work to your advantage. Hold the dough and let it stretch out by itself.
Bring it to the board and roll it out. Repeat this step a couple times to roll out a nice thin pizza.

I have made calzones, pizza rolls, and garlic knots. Check out my recipe forBroccoli Rabe Sausage Rolls. It’s an awesome recipe to make by itself or on pizza night. In fact, a great idea would be to make a pizza, a calzone, and a sausage roll.
I guess go nuts and make the garlic knots as well! They’re simply dough knotted together with garlic, parsley, andparmigiano-reggiano cheese. They are so good and so easy to make.
To succeed at this, it is imperative to work with dough that is not straight out of the fridge. Can you use cold dough? Yes of course, but I like making
