Ingredients

Pizza

  • Your choice of pizza toppings example: pepperoni sausage onion peppers olives mushrooms etc.
  • 1 ball Pizza dough store bought dough or use homemade dough (see recipe in menu)
  • All-purpose flour as needed for rolling the dough
  • Nonstick spray
  • 1.5 cups Marinara sauce use more or less as needed
  • 8 oz Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes optional
  • ¼ cup Fresh basil chopped

Seasoning

  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Kombucha

  • 24 oz Kombucha cold

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • (If using a raw topping or any vegetable, i.e. onion, pepper, or mushroom that needs to be cooked, assure the necessary steps to cook those items prior to making the pizza.)
  • Prepare the dough according to the directions on the package, or if using homemade dough, refer to the recipe directions.
  • Clean and dry the counter well (make sure your hands are dried well before working with the dough). Sprinkle the counter with flour; place the dough on top of the flour, coating each side so the dough doesn't stick.
  • Begin stretching out the dough using your hands or a rolling pin. Make sure it is being stretched evenly and avoid creating thin spots in the center (if the dough starts to stick while stretching it, sprinkle flour to prevent it from sticking).
  • Gently place the dough on a baking sheet, pizza pan, or pizza stone. (Use nonstick spray when you are using the baking sheet/pan or semolina flour if using the pizza stone to prevent sticking.)
  • Evenly ladle and spread a layer of sauce on the dough, leaving about an inch of dough without sauce around the edge.
  • Evenly distribute the mozzarella over the sauce and top with your favorite toppings.
  • Bake the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted (approximately 10 minutes or more if needed).
  • Let the pizza sit for 2 to 3 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired and basil.
  • Portion the pizza. Enjoy with kombucha.

Notes

Notes:
Homemade Dough (optional)
Equipment
Stand Mixer with dough hook (optional)
Ingredients
2 tsp Instant yeast
1/2 cup Warm water between 105 and 115°F (40-46°C), or more if needed
2 cups All-purpose flour, plus more if needed
1 1/2 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil + additional oil for greasing
Instructions
Whisk together the yeast and water, until the yeast is dissolved.
Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer with a dough hook or a large bowl.
Add olive oil and yeast/water to the flour and mix very well. Continue mixing until the dough is forming into a cohesive, elastic ball and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will still be slightly sticky but still should be manageable with your hands. Add any additional flour a little at a time as needed if the dough is too sticky.
Very lightly drizzle a separate large bowl with olive oil being sure to brush up the sides of the bowl also.
Lightly dust your hands with flour, knead the dough briefly until smooth (about 3-5 times), and form your pizza dough into a tight round ball. Transfer to the olive oil-brushed bowl. Use your hands to roll the pizza dough along the inside of the bowl until it is coated in olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place. (Do not put it in a place that is too hot or it will over-rise.)
Alternatively, make up to 3 days in advance and wrap well; refrigerate until ready to use. Allow dough to rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size before using.
