Making Pizza at Home

I only make pizza at home now because buying pizza is too expensive and I feel that each day they put less cheese in them, even if we ask for double cheese. I don`t use yeast for the doughs because it`s too difficult. I make easy doughs with baking powder. But I make pizzas many times with bread and other ingredients. What you put over it is what makes it tasty

Well I don’t normally do this because I don’t know how to cook LOL but I find some ready to prepare dough over grocery stands I just don’t know how to prepare them. But usually I only buy frozen pizzas and heat it in the oven.

i make homemade pizza all the time. i don't buy a packaged dough mix or anything like that. i make it all from scratch. i do not like the already made frozen pizzas in the grocery store. they don't taste very good to me. I just cook mine in the oven and sometimes get really creative with the toppings so it tastes different every time.

Oh I remebmer those blue boxes of Chef Boy Ardee pizza makings! We used to make them after church on Sunday nights when we'd have a "after church party" with the youth group! At the time, they were the best, but I think it was more because of the fun of it all, cause they sure didn't taste all that great! I have been trying to make pizza at home to get that perfect flavor.. in the sauce and crust, and so far...the best crust is with my bread machine.. I make a batch (okay, the machine bakes the batch!) and one batch makes 4 small individual pizza crusts, of which I bake and then freeze for when I want a pizza. Only problem...the crust is good, crispy etc, but the flavor is just not there. Can't figure that one out, but am working on it! I have also had a problem with the sauce at other pizza takeout/dine in's. To sweet or to thin... so I have made my own... a can of tomatoe sauce and some italian season, oregano and a tad of cumin. Put it in a pot and simmer for 20 minutes and it is the best! Then I add parmasean cheese on the curst, the sauce, the toppings and bake in my toaster oven... and it is the best! I can't get my cheese to melt like they do...I think that has something to do with the high heat of a pizza oven over a regular oven, but it is still good!

I think i will really mess up if i start making a pizza. I don't know why. I know everything about it, may be i am still a bit ignorant about the crust thing and my oven is too simple and i don't think it will bake it well because i don't get the baking temperatures well. So i don't go to bake pizzas in. But i want to try if someone help me with the temperature settings.

oh great... its nice hear that you are a pizza lover. but i have heard that pizza is not good for health. its cause many health hazards.is it true/ since how long you are using pizza? do you have any health problem with it

when we make homemade pizzas, we usually use our breadmaker to make the dough and then we put different toppings on them. your ideas sound quite good!

Why use a mix when it is so easy to make pizza crust from scratch? When I first started cooking, I would use a mix for the crust. Then, however, I figured out that I am a good cook and that it is easy to make the dough from scratch. I haven't worked out the costs, but I believe that making the dough from scratch is also more economical than making it from a mix.

hello there, same as you are, i do also loved to do and make a pizza. but due to some constraints in the schedule, i can't able to make one for now. as a result, whenever we crave for pizza, we just end up in a pizza delivery. though i know that making a pizza is just easy.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well although i have never prepared pizzas at home but i would certainly like to prepare one such in the future. One has the freedom to add various toppings and prepare in different styles. It would be great to prepare a pizza at home and then share it with your family members. besides if u can prepare pizza at home then it will rule out going on frequently to pizza shops also. Ha ha ha. What say?
