How to Make Pizza Dough And Sauce
- In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand until foamy (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in salt, olive oil, and half of the flour.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
- Punch down the dough and let rise again until doubled (another 30-45 minutes).
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
- Shape each half into a 12-14 inch circle or one 16-inch circle. Place on lightly greased pizza pans.
- **Pizza Sauce:** In a medium bowl, combine [List Sauce Ingredients and Measurements Here - e.g., 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper to taste]. Mix well.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
- Add your favorite meats, cheeses, and toppings.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- **To freeze prepared pizzas:** Wrap each pizza tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and freeze on a baking sheet until solid. To bake, thaw overnight in the fridge and cook at 400°F for 22-25 minutes or until heated through.
- **Alternative freezing method:** After the first rise, divide the dough and place each portion in a separate freezer bag. Freeze until solid. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, shape, and bake as directed.
