MAKE-YOUR-OWN PERSONAL PIZZAS



Make-Your-Own Personal Pizzas image

Let your kids (and other family members) loose with a ball of dough, a bowl of sauce, and a spread of colorful toppings, and watch their creativity unfold! All you need is fresh pizza dough (cut one 14- to 16-ounce ball into 4 pieces for individual pies), a rolling pin, baking sheets, any sauce you like, and a variety of sliced veggies, cured meats, and grated or cubed cheeses. Make-your-own-pizza night is all about individuality, and it's a great way to encourage your kids to eat their veggies and explore fun new foods.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14- to 16-ounce) ball pizza dough
1½ cups super-easy marinara sauce ((or your favorite pizza sauce))
6 ounces mozzarella, Jack, Colby, or cheddar cheese, (grated or cut into ½-inch cubes)
Toppings of your choice
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Condiments for serving ((ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc.))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them with a little olive oil.
  • Prep your toppings while the oven preheats, and place them all in separate bowls on a counter or table within easy reach of each pizza maker.
  • Cut the ball of dough into 4 equal-size pieces. Give one piece of dough to each person and let them roll, stretch, or press it out to a 6- to 8-inch circle. Try to avoid overworking the dough; encourage everyone to form their pieces into pizza-size circles and then get right to topping.
  • Place two rounds of dough on each baking sheet and let each person top their pizzas however they like! No combination of ingredients is off limits (as long as there's enough for everyone). As a general rule, two or three spoonfuls of sauce is plenty for individual pizzas. As far as the other toppings go, however, there are no limits! (Just know that the crust might be flimsy and wet in the middle if you pile on too much. Encourage your fellow pizza makers to grab pinches or spoonfuls rather than handfuls of toppings.) Pro tip: Making pizza faces (see photo above) or other patterns with colorful toppings will prevent pizza makers from overloading their crusts.
  • Transfer the baking sheets to the oven. Bake the pizzas for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating them halfway through, until the crust is golden and the cheese begins to brown in spots.
  • Remove the pizzas from the oven. Drizzle the pizzas with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and a grind or two of black pepper if desired. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the pizzas on their own or with ranch dressing, hot sauce, or other condiments for dipping/topping.

CLASSIC PIZZA

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water (100 degrees F to 110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, grated
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 3/4 cups tomato puree (preferably San Marzano)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Kosher salt
1 8-ounce bag shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 1 minute. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or large inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and 2 cups water. Stir in the oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. (The sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.)
  • Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. On a lightly floured surface, stretch 1 ball of dough into a 12- to 14-inch round. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper, then slide the parchment with the dough onto a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce on the crust in a thin layer, then scatter 1 cup mozzarella on top. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Repeat to make the second pizza.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Pizza stone
Store-bought Pizza dough
Tomato sauce
Mozzarella
Romano
Pepperoni, sliced
Roasted red peppers, cut in strips
Pineapple chunks
Canadian bacon
Flour
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 550 degrees. Place pizza stone inside about 20 minutes before baking the pizzas off.
  • Shape the pizza in individual pies. Use flour to keep the dough from sticking to your work surface. Top each pie with a drizzle of olive oil, the tomato sauce, mozzarella and Romano. Give each child their own and let them top it as they like. For example you can go traditional Italian and top it with pepperoni and onion. Or make the pizza "Hawaiian" by adding the Canadian bacon and pineapple. Place the topped pizzas on the pizza stone and cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is all melty.
