Pizza
delivery, frozen pizza, and even dine-in pizza parlors are all great
ways to get your pizza fix, but there can be something really special
about making a homemade pizza. Don’t know how to make a homemade
pizza? Here are three secrets to help you get it right!
Pick
your preferences
What
kind of homemade pizza do you want? Are you a purist, who prefers
making the dough and sauce from scratch and bake it on a pizza stone,
or are you okay with store-bought dough and canned pizza sauce baked
on a cookie sheet? How fresh do you want your toppings and cheese to
be? Do you want to make one large pizza or several individual ones?
What toppings do you want (and/or DON'T you want)? Is there a special
occasion associated with the homemade pizza being made? Answering
questions like these will make your pizza-making experience flow
easily and enjoyably.
Take
your time
Obviously
if you're making dough and sauce from scratch, you don't want to
rush. Let the dough rise as long as it needs to, maybe even bake it
partially before adding toppings, and season the sauce to perfection.
But even if you're using frozen dough and canned sauce, there's no
need to be in a hurry! That's what frozen pizzas are for. Take your
time and enjoy the process--it's not every day you get to be a pizza
chef! If you need to, plan homemade pizza night ahead of time to make
sure it doesn't happen on a rushed or busy evening. If something does
come up unexpectedly, there are numerous options for great PizzaFrankfort, IL.
Fun
with friends and family
Finally,
make homemade pizza night a social affair! Something this fun needs
to be shared. Getting a group of friends together for a dinner party,
planning a family evening around it (the kids will love making their
own pizzas!) or even turning it into a fun date with your special
someone, are all great ideas. Sharing the experience is perhaps the
most important secret to making a great homemade pizza.
