Home → Food → How to Make Better-then-takeout Homemade Pizza
After a lot of trial and error, my husband has come up with a method that produces an excellent pizza every time. Save time by using a ready-made pizza dough and your favorite jarred tomato sauce, or make your own from scratch. If using a ready-made pizza dough, be sure it has warmed to room temperature for easier rolling. Customize this pizza with as many toppings as you like!
First heat a pizza stone in a 500 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Roll out dough and season with Italian seasoning blend, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Pull the hot pizza stone out of the oven. Carefully transfer the prepared dough onto the pizza stone. Roll the edges of the dough to form a crust. Bake the pizza dough at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
Assemble Pizza
Step 4
Now it's time to assemble the pizza. Spread about 1/2 a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce onto the crust.
Step 5
Add desired toppings (I used peppers, onions, and ham).
Step 6
Sprinkle with 1-2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 350° until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
