What's cookin' guys, welcome back to the channel. My name is Jay and today I'm
going to be showing you how to make something that I am super stoked about,
homemade pizza! If you've been with us before, welcome back. But if you're new

Now we were actually planning on doing a pizza episode later on in the
season, but it was actually suggested by a viewer so thank you so much for that
suggestion and keep them coming. So the first thing we need to get started on is
our dough for the pizza. In the bowl of my stand mixer I already have 1 cup of
warm water and to that I'm going to add one pack of dry active yeast along with
2 teaspoons of granulated sugar. We're going to give it a quick mix and then
let this sit for about 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast eats the sugar and it
gets nice and foamy. So our yeast has foamed up so at this point I'm going to add 1/2
cup of olive oil
along with two and a half cups of double zero Italian flour, and two teaspoons of
salt. We're then going to add the paddle attachment to our mixer and then mix
this on low for about three to four minutes until combined, you might need
to scrape the sides of the bowl to get any dough loose. All right so you should be
able to tell when the dough comes together because the whole thing is
going to move as a giant ball. So I'm going to stop the mixer and then I'm
going to flour our surface and then just take our dough out and we're going to
knead it for a couple minutes until it comes together just a little more. So as
you're kneading this it should actually feel like it's getting a lot tighter
which is a good thing, that means that the gluten is building up inside the
dough which will give us a more chewier result.
All right so once our dough has come together I'm actually going to take our
mixing bowl from the stand mixer and we're going to line this with olive oil,
and then put our dough back in the bowl with a little more olive oil on top and
then we're going to cover this and let it proof for about an hour, it should
almost double in size. All right so our dough has proofed for an hour so I'm just
going to punch it to get rid of any extra air and then I'm going to put it
on our board and I'm going to cut this into quarters and then knead each
quarter for a couple seconds then cover these again and let them proof
overnight. Now I know it might seem crazy but proofing them overnight does
actually make a big difference. So while our dough is proofing we're actually
going to get started on our pizza sauce. So to a sauce pan over medium heat I'm
going to add about a tablespoon of cooking oil along with a tablespoon or
two of minced shallot and two cloves of sliced garlic. So after about a minute or
so we're going to be adding one 28-ounce can of pureed tomatoes along with one
teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, a tablespoon of
sugar, and a couple pinches of salt.
Once this gets up to a boil we're going to reduce the heat and simmer for about
30 minutes. So I'm going to actually be cooking our pizza in this, my new toy, the
Pizzeria Pronto Stovetop Pizza Oven. Now they didn't sponsor this video in any
way, but I thought I might give it a try and let you know how it works. So while
we're prepping our pizzas I'm going to have this preheating over the highest
stove setting. So after our dough has proofed for the second time, we get to
roll it out. So the easiest way to get it to a circular shape is actually to start
out with a rolling pin and to roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness and then
handle it with your hands.
All right so you want to roll it so the center gets so thin you can almost see
through it and then you want to just take the edges and kind of tug them with
your hands, and if you want to get fancy you can toss it.
Now I actually don't have a pizza peel but what I do have is a wooden cutting
board. Now this will work exactly the same, so to prep this what we need to do
is just cover one side with flour and then we're just going to transfer our
dough to it and it should be able to slide. So the first pizza that we're
going to make is a grandma style pizza. So I'm only going to add about a quarter
cup of our tomato sauce right in the center.
We're then going to put on our sliced pieces of mozzarella, I'm going to
sprinkle on some oregano, a little bit of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Now this
is ready to go into our oven.
Now we're going to cook our pizzas in the Pizzacraft for about five to six
minutes turning halfway through, the crust should get nice and bubbly and we'll
have some nice color on the bottom. So the second pizza I'm going to be making
is the pizza that I order when I go to a pizza restaurant, which is going to be
tomato sauce, with some shredded mozzarella, some mini pepperoni, and some
crushed garlic.
Now this oven gets incredibly hot so you want to make sure that your pizzas
rest for about five minutes before you dig in
or you'll burn the crap out of your mouth.
