Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it’s nice and hot to give your pizza a perfectly crisp crust.
-
-
Prepare the Dough: In a small mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, baking powder, and salt. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together until the mixture begins to stick together and forms a cohesive ball of dough.
-
Knead the Dough: Lightly sprinkle your counter with flour to prevent sticking. Place the dough on the floured surface and knead it gently about ten times until it is smooth and well combined.
-
Rest the Dough: Cover the kneaded dough with an inverted bowl to let it rest for about 15 minutes, allowing the gluten to relax for easier rolling.
-
Divide and Shape: After resting, cut the dough in half. On a lightly floured counter, roll or pat each half into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter. If you prefer a rectangular pizza, you can roll it out to your desired shape.
-
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Place the shaped dough circles on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they are well spaced apart.
-
Add Toppings: Top each pizza with your favorite toppings, leaving about a 1/2 inch edge around the rim of the dough. Feel free to get creative with your ingredients; the possibilities are endless!
-
Bake the Pizzas: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the pizzas for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and crispy.
-
Enjoy: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then slice them up to enjoy the deliciousness of your homemade pizza!
This quick and easy pizza recipe is perfect for a casual dinner, a fun family activity, or even a last-minute gathering with friends. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors while knowing you’ve created something special in your own kitchen!
