Homemade Pizza

Pizza is so delicious that everybody like it. I am using wheat flour in my recipe so it is good for the digestive system. My daughters love our homemade pizza.

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup water + 1 tablespoon water (warm water)
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Bisquick
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • pizza sauce (about 7 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded) 
  • 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • green bell pepper (optional)
  • onion (optional)
Directions:
Take warm water and add yeast, keep about 5 minutes to soak it then stir with spoon to dissolve evenly in water. 

In a large bowl  add wheat flour, all purpose flour, Bisquick, salt and oil. Mix well and then gradually add the water to make the dough. Knead well and cover it with an airtight lid.

Mixed dough.


Preheat the oven to 200 F and then turn it off. Put the dough container in the oven. Keep it inside for at least 3 to 4 hours to let the dough rise. 

Dough after rising.


After the dough has risen, make a large ball and roll the pizza dough on counter or on a big wooden board with a rolling pin. Place the pizza on a large pizza pan. Cover it with a cloth to let it rise again for about 30 to 40 minutes. Puncture it with a fork so it cannot bubble up when you bake it. 

Rolled out dough.

Pizza ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 400 or 425 F and place pizza in the oven. Keep inside for about 7 to 8 minutes or when top surface is a little bit baked. Then take it out from the oven and spread pizza sauce over it evenly. Spread mild cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese and toppings if you desire. Bake it for about 12 to 15 minutes (varies from oven to oven) until the edge of the pizza becomes light brown (make sure the bottom of the pizza is also light brown).

Added sauce and cheese.
Optional toppings.

All finished!

Enjoy our homemade pizza, you'll love the taste!
