Home Made Pizza. I need recipes.
I have a decent one, but it's not quite right. I use a pizza stone and San Marzano tomatos.

1. Two of my favorites
First - Start by mixing in some fresh grated romano and plenty of fresh crushed/minced garlic into the sauce before putting it on the pie. Cut up artichoke hearts and crisp bacon as the toppings and freshly grated mozzarella as the cheese

Second - Start with your favorite bbq sauce and use it instead of tomato sauce. Top with onion and sliced steak. Top with mozzarella and cook away.

Both are very yummy :9

2. I can go with the cheese and garlic
but you lose me at artichokes and bbq sauce. I like a basic pepperoni (sometimes with mushrooms) and a NY style crust. Do you have a good dough recipe?

3. Not really
I'm lazy when it comes to making my own dough, the local grocery stores sells fresh dough and I usualy pick that up but... if you want a recipe, I always try to go to Alton so here is his:

11. That's a great recipe!
I throw the ingredients in my bread machine and set it on the dough cycle, rather than doing the kneading with a stand mixer. I also use about half the sugar he calls for. Sometimes I do the 19-24 hrs. in the refrigeration, sometimes I just leave it there a few hours. It still turns out decent.

5. I take pizza dough, and cover it with tomato sauce, cheese (or cheeses) and meats and veggies
I love mushrooms, onions, black olives, spinach, and sliced jalapenos as veggies.

Sausage, pepperoni, chicken, beef strips, tako, and bacon for meats.

Good cheeses are blue cheese, Roquefort, mozzarella, cheddar, fontina, swiss, Gruyere, and Parmesan.

6. Sourdough yeast
Let rise for a few hours then refridgerate to slow rise overnight. Get the oven as hot as you can and let the stone heat for at least an hour.
I've started adding 5% rye flour to the dough which I think adds a nice crispness.

This is a good place to start for dough recipe

This is a great thread on a home pizza oven

7. Pesto with shitake, feta, and a light sprinkling of shredded mozzarella
We grew a SHITLOAD of basil last year and made a bunch of pesto base for the freezer (just the basil, garlic, and olive oil). There's enough left to last us a long time. I put about 2-3 fingers in a freezer bag. When I need it, I let it defrost, return it to the blender, and add the pine nuts and fresh parmesan with extra olive oil as needed. As far as I'm concerned, it tastes as fresh as when I first processed it.

13. I have yet to make this one, but have used the dough technique for pita
:D

Jamie at Home - Pizza

Since he's added semolina to the bread flour, I'd say it's a decent-quality pizza dough :)

14. Shrimp, paprika and swiss.
Season the shrimp w/paprika. Soak slices of swiss in milk for 30 minutes. Prep the dough. A little bit of olive oil, the shrimp, then the swiss with the milk drained off. A very wow different pizza.
