Pizza is a universally beloved dish that offers endless possibilities for customization. Today, we'll explore two delightful variations: a meat-lover's barbecue pizza and a fresh, vegetable-packed alternative. Both versions start with a homemade dough that is both easy to make and delicious. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to create a homemade pizza that satisfies all your cravings.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Adjust with a bit more flour if necessary.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, spice mix, minced garlic, egg, and bread crumbs until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the beef mixture until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the BBQ sauce and combine well. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the halved cherry tomatoes with dried oregano. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Divide the risen dough into two equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough portion into a round or rectangular shape, depending on your preference.
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
- Spread the BBQ beef mixture evenly over the first pizza dough.
- Top with thinly sliced onion, red pepper, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Arrange the seasoned cherry tomatoes evenly over the second pizza dough.
- Top with torn basil leaves and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Depending on the size of your oven, you may need to bake each pizza one at a time.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve hot, slice into pieces, and enjoy your Pizza 2 Ways!
Tips:
- Ensure the yeast is fresh and active for the best dough rise. If in doubt, bloom it with a little warm water and sugar before adding it to the flour mixture.
- Preheat your oven to a high temperature (around 475°F or 245°C) to achieve a crispy crust.
- Use a pizza stone if you have one; it helps in cooking the pizza more evenly and gives a better crust.
- Let the dough rest after kneading for at least an hour in a warm place to allow it to rise properly.
- For the BBQ meat pizza, cook the ground beef fully with the spice mix and garlic before assembling the pizza.
- When working with fresh vegetables, pat them dry after washing to avoid making the pizza soggy.
- Feel free to get creative with your toppings and adjustments. For example, you can add mushrooms, olives, or different cheeses according to your taste preferences.
There you have it—two distinct and delicious ways to enjoy homemade pizza. Whether you prefer the hearty, savory flavors of the BBQ meat pizza or the fresh, vibrant taste of the vegetable-topped pizza, these recipes are sure to impress. Both options offer a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making them ideal for any pizza night. Enjoy your culinary creation and happy dining!
