Servings: Yields 2 pizzas
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons salad oil (divided)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it’s hot and ready for your pizza.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
-
Add Milk: Gradually pour in 2/3 cup of milk, stirring vigorously as you do. The mixture should come together and start to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
-
Form the Dough: Once the dough begins to form, gather it together and press it into a ball.
-
Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your hands and the bowl, then knead the dough in the bowl about 10 times. This process smooths out the dough and prepares it for rolling.
-
Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into two equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a circle about 13 inches in diameter.
-
Prepare the Pizza Pan: Place each dough circle onto a pizza pan. Gently lift and fold the edges up about 1/2 inch to form a crust. Pinch the edges to seal.
-
Brush with Oil: Using a brush, apply 1 tablespoon of salad oil to each pizza crust, ensuring a light, even coat.
-
Add Toppings: Add your favorite pizza toppings to the dough, making sure not to overload it, so the crust can bake evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your homemade pizza with your favorite sides and sauces!
