There are a few skills that I feel are essential for being a good mom. Making homemade pizza is one of them.I don’t know why, but being able to make a mean pizza is important to me! We make homemade pizza almost every Friday night and this supreme pizza is one that we make over and over again.

For this recipe, I have also included my favorite pizza baking method (because those two things go together). It’s very pizzeria in style – the dough is a medium thickness, the bottom gets nice and brown, and the cheese around the edge gets crusty, edging on burnt. Mmmm…that crusty dark cheese! Don’t be tempted to overload on cheese and toppings. With pizza, more is not always better. The crust won’t cook through if you get too crazy, and very few things are grosser than doughy pizza. If you absolute insist on loading up the toppings, try myflatbread pizza recipe– the crust is already cooked so doughy crust won’t ever be a problem!

How to Make Homemade Supreme Pizza

Step #1.Make the dough according to directions. Preheat the oven and pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet.

Step #3.Very carefully slide the prepared pizza and parchment onto the pizza store or inverted baking sheet that is in the oven.

Step #2.Place dough ball onto parchment paper. Roll into a 12-14 inch circle. Top with sauce, cheese, and toppings. Carefully transfer onto a rimless baking sheet or upside down baking sheet.

Step #4.Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes until the top is bubbly and the crust is starting to brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

What is the best homemade pizza sauce to go with this pizza recipe?

Looking for the best (and easiest) pizza sauce recipe? You’ll need 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes. In a small sauce pan, cook the oil and garlic together over medium heat until the garlic starts to smell good. Add the tomatoes and simmer until it thickens a bit, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. DONE! Really. Three ingredients and it tastes amazing!

How do you know if yeast is still good?

Fill up a small measuring cup with a little warm water. Add 1/4 teaspoon of your yeast and then add a pinch of sugar and lightly stir it together. Wait for 5 minutes. If the yeast is still active, you will see little bubbles along the top of the water and it will start to “foam”. I think the date on the yeast package is a good guide, and I like to store my yeast in the fridge to help keep it fresh. When in doubt, get new yeast.

Expert Tips

If you like something else on your pizza, add it!Don’t like one of these toppings, skip it! The idea is just to add a little of a few things and not too much of all of them. The crust won’t bake if it’s topped too heavily. The perk of making pizza at home – you can customize it how you like.
No time to make pizza dough?Pick up some dough from your local pizza shop or from the deli of a well-stocked grocery store. Both are great and generally inexpensive options.
Looking to cut down hands-on time?You can prep the sausage and veggies ahead of time and store them in the fridge a few days until you are ready to make your pizza. Lots of times I’ll pick recipes that have similar ingredients and prep them all one day and use them through the week. These ingredients also work great in pasta sauce and in egg bakes or omelets. Chop once and cook all week.
I just started buyingprecut parchment paper sheetsand they are so convenient.They don’t roll and curl up like the rolls I normally buy to just cut off a piece. I recommend the precuts!
