BEST PIZZA DOUGH EVER

BEST PIZZA DOUGH EVER! YES.
I decided to do something crazy this weekend. I made my own pizza dough from scratch (which fortunate came out looking pretty good- after the 3rd try) so here it is: I hope you all like it

-A
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 Cups of warm water- you CAN also use Beer! Believe me, it gives it a great taste and its effervescent so it works with the yeast
1 tbsp of Honey or Sugar- But because I am Canadian I went with Good Old maple Syrup
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp of Salt- Sea salt is much better if you happen to have it already
4 1/4 of bread flour 2 tbsp of Bread Machine instant yeast

DIRECTIONS
1. MEASURE EVERYTHING- I discover due to many fail attempts, that in baking you need to measure everything, so save yourself some trouble and just do 
2.Add all the wet ingredients first -Water+Maple sugar+ Oil+ then the Salt (Pepper + Other condiments if wanted)+ Flour and lastly the Yeast!
3. Add it to the bread Machine. Select Dough Button and leave it there for 1 hour and 45 min 4. then cover the container with plastic wrap and let the dough breath for 1 more hour.
Then its ready to Go! 

WHAT TO DO
You can pretty much do anything with it. Pizza Pretzels which will be my next post
2 Medium Pizzas or 1 Large Bite Size Pizzas
Whatever you want!!!!

EXTRA THINGS
I personally used the "Breadman" Bread Machine, which I 100% Recommend. Info linked down below.
Wallmart $149 worth every cent of it

MEAT LOVER FEAST!!



WHAT YOU NEED
1 lb Refrigerated Dough
1 tbs Olive Oil
Half Cup of Fresh Mozarella Cheese
Half Cup of Fresh Ricotta Cheese (Add Salt, Egg Yolk and Pepper- to make it extra sticky)
Handful of Cherry tomatoes
Fresh Basil Leaves
Cooked or Raw red Pepper
Homemade Tomato Basil Sauce
3-4 Italian Deli Sausages
Home Made Roasted Beef (Season it, Add Rosemary, Thime, Salt & Pepper, Onion, Garlic and Olive oil- Cover it, and out it in the oven in 220 for 35- 50 mins- every 15-20 mins, check on it, bath it on its own sauce and cover again, Add BBQ sauce in the last check in time)


**if you want to**
Add extra Mushroom, chili Flakes, Olives, BACON (Because its Bacon)

MAKE IT
Heat Oven at 200 C
Spread Sauce Evenly & Don't forget to add those chunks of Tomato- They will be a nice bite surprise later
Spray Oil on Pan
IF you want, you may spread butter on the bottom of the pizza dough. it will make it extra golden and cook more evenly
Add all ingredients, as shown Below

Bake for 20-25 mins
eat it all!!!




TIPS
I recommend adding a sunny side egg on top of your slice after- the runny egg yolk is very tasty with the saltiness of the meat and veggie toppings

Pair it up with your favorite Cold Beer or Sparkling Lemonade, and you will have a Feast worth it of its own Instagram Post- I Guarantee it!

Enjoy, and don't forget to Share & Comment down Below.
See You Soon
