QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST



Quick and Easy Pizza Crust image

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

PIZZA FROM SCRATCH IN 20 MINUTES OR LESS RECIPE BY TASTY



Pizza From Scratch In 20 Minutes Or Less Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: self-raising flour, water, olive oil, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, dried oregano, chili flakes

Provided by Jordan Ballantine

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup self-raising flour
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
1 handful mozzarella cheese, grated
6 slices pepperoni
dried oregano
¼ teaspoon chili flakes

Steps:

  • Whizz together the flour and water in a food processor for a minute or so until it clumps together to form a single ball. You might need to add a little bit more water or flour to get the consistency right. (Dough should be soft, but not sticky!)
  • Preheat the grill (broiler) on high.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
  • Place pizza dough onto a well-oiled, oven-safe frying pan on high heat.
  • While the bottom is cooking on the hob, top the pizza with the sauce, cheese, pepperoni herbs and whatever else you like. (Try your best to not over-top it or else it can fall apart or get soggy.)
  • Continue cooking on high until the edges of the crust start browning and crisping.
  • Place the pan under the grill and cook the toppings until the cheese is bubbly and browning. Slice.
  • If you're quick, you can actually have this from-scratch pizza on your plate (and in you mouth) quicker than it takes to cook a pre-made frozen pizza.
  • Enjoy!

i learned the original recipie from my home econonomics class back in 7th grade. The fact that this has stayed with my for so long should tell you something! I suggest making this recipie with your girlfriend because it is involved but not too complicated and cooking something together will bring you closer together. The ingredients listed are approximate because cooking pizza is more of an art than a science.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits (not cresent rolls)
1 (8 ounce) package pepperoni
0.5 (16 ounce) bag shredded cheese
0.5 (16 ounce) can Ragu pizza sauce or 0.5 (16 ounce) can pizza sauce

1/2 green pepper, diced

  • Preheat the oven according to the directions on the biscuit package.
  • Lay out and roll flat the biscuits on a pan or pizza stone leaving it slightly thicker around the edges.
  • "The Secret" cook the pan of flattened biscuit dough by itself for about 4-5 minutes. This will ensure that the dough cooks inside the pizza and you don't bite into mush!
  • After it cooks, roll the dough flat again everywhere but the edges(crust!).
  • Now cover the surface with a thin layer of Ragu, then shredded cheeze, then pepperoni, then i like to add diced peppers and bacon bits.

  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible: This will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Use a light hand with the sauce: Too much sauce can make the pizza soggy.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings: This can also make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the pizza is cooked through.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the cheese from running off the pizza.
