Pizza Recipe Gourmet

Learn how to make gourmet pizza at home, following this easy recipe, with detailed timeline and lots of tips and tricks for making the best pizza at home!

I love pizza, so it’s probably not surprising that I have spent a good deal of time perfecting my at-home pizza. So I thought I’d take a moment to document my easy process for anyone else looking to make gourmet pizza at home.

I’m using the term “gourmet” simply to distinguish it from the thicker, pepperoni-dotted and lotsa-cheese-topped pizza. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I love that pizza, too! This is just a thinner, more sparsely topped kind of pizza that I most often like to make at home. A fancy pizza.

My pizza starts with No-Knead pizza dough, is topped with No-Cook Pizza Sauce (or use store-bought pizza sauce, if you prefer) and includes my favourite toppings. Feel free to top your pizza as you like.

Prosciutto and Fig: Top your pizza with thinly sliced prosciutto, fresh figs, arugula, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction for a sweet and savoury combination.

Pear and Gorgonzola: Slices of ripe pear, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, caramelized onions, and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts create a balanced and flavourful combination.

Roasted Vegetable Medley: Roast a variety of colourful vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and red onion, then top with goat cheese and fresh herbs.

Brie and Caramelized Onion: Spread a layer of caramelized onions over the dough, then add slices of creamy Brie cheese and a sprinkle of thyme.

Thai Chicken: Cooked and shredded chicken tossed in a peanut sauce, along with sliced bell peppers, bean sprouts, cilantro, and chopped peanuts for a fusion-inspired topping.

Fig and Prosciutto with Arugula Pesto: Top with fig jam, prosciutto, and dollops of arugula pesto, then finish with a handful of fresh arugula leaves.

Sun Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese: Sun Dried tomatoes, goat cheese, Kalamata olives, fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil offer a Mediterranean-inspired burst of flavours.

If you forget to start your dough the night before, or if you just decide in the morning that you want pizza for dinner, all is not lost! Simply prepare the dough as directed, EXCEPT increase the yeast to 3/4 tsp. Mix and let stand at room temperature until close to dinnertime. Pick up the directions from there and you’re good to go. It’s important to note that this will work in a pinch, but when it comes to dough, time = flavour, so the less time your dough sits, the less flavour it will have. The long rise is best for best flavour, when and if you can, but this will work when needed.
