Who doesn’t love pizza? While pizza is one of our favorite foods, we can’t seem to master making it a home, so we end up ordering it from restaurants. But with this guide, you can make pizza that is even better than takeout. The secret is the ingredients you choose. Here’s how to make amazing homemade pizza.
Pizza Crust
There are a lot of options for the base of the pizza—the crust. You can use store-bought dough, premade baked crusts, pita, English muffins, or make your own dough. A delicious pizza starts with a tasty crust.
Pizza Sauces
While marinara sauce is traditional, you can take your pizza up a notch with white sauces, pesto sauces, or olive oil and garlic sauce.
Pizza Toppings
Get creative with the toppings. Sure you can include tomato sauce and pepperoni, but why not try apples and walnuts or figs and prosciutto?
Pizza Cheeses
Mozzarella, Fontina, and Parmesan are low moisture cheeses that work well on pizza. You should know that fresh mozzarella has a lot of water and it can result in a soggy pizza.
