Those who doubt that making pizza at home is no worse than the one prepared in a pizzeria are becoming fewer and fewer every day. After all, what exactly is pizza? Dough flatbread and filling. How to prepare homemade pizza correctly so that it becomes not just a dish, but a work of your home culinary art? To ensure that the round crust was certainly thin and crispy, the appetizing filling sank under a hot layer of golden cheese, and the divine aroma attracted you and drove you crazy.
First about the test. There are not just many types of pizza dough, but a lot. The classic version is yeast pizza dough. Although shortbread, puff pastry or unleavened without yeast are no worse. Therefore, when thinking about how to make homemade pizza, you first need to decide what kind of dough you will use for the base. In any case, for your dough to turn out well, you need to sift the flour before kneading. The water in the dough can be partially replaced with milk. In addition to water and milk, you can also use whey when preparing the dough; the dough with it turns out unusually tasty. You will be surprised, but the water in the dough can even be replaced with vodka, partially, of course, or completely with beer. Thanks to a small dose of alcohol in the dough, the pizza turns out soft and tender. And most importantly, any dough must be carefully kneaded with your hands, then it will turn out truly tasty and homemade.
There are more than enough options for pizza toppings. Feel free to put whatever your eye catches on the pizza - you won’t go wrong. It is desirable that the filling ingredients be combined with each other, complementing and emphasizing each other’s taste, and the rest is a matter of taste and imagination. Be sure to drain excess liquid from sliced products, if any, otherwise the pizza will turn out wet and the dough unbaked.
Among the usual recipes for making pizza, there are also original ones, for example, sweet pizzas, which will bring pleasure to both adults and children. For the filling in such pizzas, you can use fresh berries, fruits or dried fruits, and add nuts. What do you think of the option - closed pizza, which is gaining more and more popularity? “How to make homemade pizza?” - you ask. “No problem!” - we answer and are happy to offer you options for its implementation.

How to make pizza at home with your own hands from the ingredients you have in the refrigerator? My daughter loves Italian pizza, and we often visit cafes and pizzerias for her sake. But today we agreed to meet at home, so I will make delicious pizza with my own hands. And, of course, I share with everyone recipes for different occasions.
Pizza is made in two stages; to prepare it you need:
- dough
- filling
At home, to make pizza, I use everything I have on hand.
How to make pizza at home
The first option, simple pizza, is a good recipe for those who don’t want and don’t like to fuss with dough. A quick, liquid dough is made without yeast.
How to make pizza dough
First we prepare the products:
- egg – 1 pc.
- Fermented milk product, whatever you have (sour cream, yogurt, kefir, fermented baked milk, katyk, sour milk) – 50 g or 4 tablespoons
- Mayonnaise – 50 grams (4 tablespoons)
- Flour – 1 cup
- Soda - half a teaspoon
- Salt - to taste
We will make pizza in the oven, so we turn it on at 200 - 220 degrees. While it is warming up, make the dough and prepare the filling.
Break the eggs into a bowl where we will prepare the dough for quick pizza.
Add to them any fermented milk product you have at home and mayonnaise.
We obtain the desired thickness of the dough from flour, so add it gradually.
And mix everything again.
You should get a medium thick batter.
Pour the pizza dough into the pan.
What can you use to make pizza at home?
The classic version is necessarily cheese, which is sprinkled on top of the filling. And for the filling:
- spread tomato paste, ketchup on top of the pizza dough or add tomatoes
- sausage, meat or both.
- Sweet or hot pepper
- Mushrooms (fried champignons, oyster mushrooms, honey mushrooms or salted milk mushrooms)
- Olives or black olives
- Pickles
- Fried onions
That is, what you can eat from the products according to your taste, in any combinations and reasonable quantities.
Place the homemade filling onto the pizza dough.
All! Place the pan in the oven.
In 15 - 20 minutes, our simple homemade pizza is ready.
But, I advise you to consider this time approximate, since it depends on the thickness of the base and the temperature of the oven. The thinner the dough, the faster it will be ready. When I made pizza according to this recipe, not in a frying pan, but spreading it in a thin layer on a sheet, the pizza was ready in 7 minutes.

- Butter – 2 tablespoons
- Flour – 1.5 cups

How to make pizza dough at home
Heat the milk to 40 degrees and dilute the yeast in it, stirring well.
Pour the flour into a heap onto a board or into a large bowl, make a hole in the middle and add there what you mixed and melted butter.
Gradually, adding flour, knead the dough. Let it rise, that is, rise in a warm place for 20 - 30 minutes.
Now roll out with a rolling pin into a flat cake of the desired shape and thickness.

Recipe 2.
You will need: 350 g cherry tomatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove garlic, 140 g young goat cheese, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. For the dough: 175 ml warm water, 25 g grated parmesan, 1 package of dry yeast, 300 g wheat flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 0.5 tablespoon salt. For decoration: 100 g grated Parmesan, a sprig of basil, a little freshly ground pepper.
For yeast dough, first combine flour and yeast in a deep bowl, and then add all the other ingredients. To make the dough smooth and homogeneous, you can knead it using a mixer, using an attachment with a hook: first work with it at minimum speed, and then increase it to maximum and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover the finished dough with a towel and leave in a warm place until it increases noticeably. Line a baking tray with baking paper. For the filling, cut the washed tomatoes into thin slices. Finely chop the garlic. Cut the goat cheese into slices too. Lightly sprinkle the work surface with flour, turn out the dough, divide into 10 parts, form them into balls and, with oiled hands, make flat cakes about 12x5 cm in size. Place the cakes on a baking sheet, fan out the tomato slices, slices of cheese on top, season with salt, pepper, garlic, sprinkle a little olive oil and bake for 20 minutes at 200°.

Combine the sifted flour with salt, pour onto the work surface, forming a slide. Make a depression in the center. In a deep bowl, mix eggs with warm milk, pour in olive oil and add the resulting mixture in small portions to the “well” made in flour. Knead the dough for 10 minutes, constantly dusting your hands with flour. When the dough becomes elastic, form it into a ball, place it in a deep bowl, cover with a damp towel and let stand for a quarter of an hour. Then roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a sheet approximately 30 cm in diameter and brush with olive oil. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves, mozzarella and hunting sausages into circles.

Cut the ham into strips, tomatoes into half rings, mozzarella and sweet onions into slices. Cut the olives in half. Brown the onion in the remaining oil from the mushrooms.

Pour the dough into a large pan that has been greased and dusted with flour. Place in the oven for 10 minutes. Cut the ham into thin strips, finely chop the onion. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems and cut into slices. Wash the dill, dry and finely chop. Turn the cheese into large shavings using a grater. Boil green beans until tender in salted water and immediately plunge into ice water for 1 minute (to preserve color). Then drain the beans on paper towels to remove excess moisture. Brush the slightly cooled dough with tomato sauce, spread finely chopped onion over the entire area of the flatbread, place tomato slices on top, leaving a few for decoration. The next layer is strips of ham. Place the beans on top of the meat (also leaving some for decoration), sprinkle with dill, grated cheese, and garnish with the beans and tomatoes that were left earlier.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a napkin and leave in a warm place for 2 hours (you want it to increase significantly in volume). Cut the peeled zucchini into circles 1.2-1.4 cm thick. Then cut out the core with seeds from each circle to make rings, sprinkle with salt, lightly rubbing it into the vegetables so that they are soaked and release juice. Cut the ham into cubes, the bell pepper into thin strips, the tomato into slices, and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Grind the cheese into small shavings using a grater. Roll the dough into balls the size of a walnut, then form them into flat cakes so that they are 1-1.5 cm larger in size than the zucchini rings, place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and brush with olive oil. Place the zucchini on the tortillas, lightly pressing them into the dough, cover with tomato sauce, and first put the pepper inside the rings, then the ham - so that they are completely filled.

Pizza, like in a pizzeria. Recipe
Experts say that real Italian pizza can only be cooked in a real Italian oven. Therefore, in pizzerias, workers use special equipment that gives the baked goods a specific look and taste. At home, we recommend using the following trick: place two baking sheets in a preheated oven (one on the top level and the other on the bottom) and, when they are warm, place the pizza on the very top. The secret is that the second baking sheet will take the heat and distribute it evenly to the top. This way, the dough will bake faster and acquire a special structure. How is pizza prepared at home? Read the simple recipe:
- Knead the dough from 200 grams of flour, a teaspoon of yeast, a tablespoon of olive oil, water and salt. Cover the finished product with cling film and place in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- When the dough has increased in size, place it on the work surface, knead it a little more with your hands, roll it out and place it on a baking sheet.
- Fill the pizza with the toppings of your choice, sprinkle with cheese and bake until done.
Pizza with sausage
Many housewives are sure that at home it is impossible to prepare exactly the same pizza as in a pizzeria. However, we can refute this statement and offer a recipe for a simple and tasty dish. Pizza with sausage is prepared as follows:
- for the dough, mix 500 grams of premium flour, one packet of dry yeast (12 grams), a teaspoon of sugar, a little salt, two tablespoons of olive oil, one pinch each of dry oregano and basil and 250-300 ml of warm water;
- for the filling, cut six cherry tomatoes, a quarter of sweet bell pepper, 200 grams of mozzarella into thin slices, ten pitted olives into slices, and smoked sausage into slices;
- Place the risen dough on the table and stretch it with your hands (try not to use a rolling pin at all), place the dough on a greased baking sheet and adjust it again to the desired size;
- grease the surface of the dough with vegetable oil, and then pierce it with a fork in several places;
- it's time to lay out the filling: first of all, there is your favorite tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes, then rings of olives or olives, slices of sausage, and finally - cheese and chopped bell pepper;
- To give the dish an unforgettable aroma, you can sprinkle it with thyme, basil, rosemary or other herbs.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Tomato sauce
What else needs to be done to make the same pizza at home as in the pizzeria? The dough recipe and cooking method are very important, but equally important is the ability to prepare the right sauce. We suggest you use the following recipe:
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan, add three chopped garlic cloves and one finely chopped onion. Cover the vegetables with a lid and simmer until they become soft.
- Take one kilogram of ripe tomatoes and peel them. After this, they should be chopped and added to the pan along with two tablespoons of tomato paste and dry herbs (you can take bay leaf and oregano). Season the sauce with salt and ground pepper.
- Simmer the tomatoes for 15 minutes, and at the end, chop them using a blender.
The tomato sauce for real Italian pizza is ready.
Fillings
What secrets do you still need to know to make pizza like in a pizzeria? The recipe for a popular dish may depend on its filling. We offer you several popular topping options for Italian pizza:
- "Seasons" - 50 grams of thinly sliced smoked sausage, 50 grams of chopped mushrooms, 50 grams of thinly sliced artichokes, three anchovy fillets (they need to be cut in half), two spoons of capers, chopped olives, fresh basil and mozzarella cheese.

Mayonnaise and ketchup.
Oh yes - for those who watch their figure, go on diets and monitor the benefits of food - you will have to forget about it for the evening)
According to my ingredients, homemade pizza turns out to be large, 12 good-sized pieces. Enough for a big company!!!
How to make pizza dough simple recipe:
Take an egg, beat with a fork, add a glass of warm water (I take room water - boiled - and add a drop of hot water). Stir with a fork until completely smooth. Add half a teaspoon of salt. The dough will be quite bland, you can add more salt.
Mix flour with instant yeast. I had a packet of yeast that said “for 1 kg of flour.” I'm lazy, so I poured half a packet of flour into a mug, mixed it with my finger, and added it to the egg and water. Then also the remaining half of the package. And she began to stir the dough.
All you have to do is knead the dough well! Then put it in a warm place - I put it closer to the stove. And get busy with the filling! The dough will rise at this time.
I chopped, as you can see in the photo, what I had - a little onion (a third), 3 eggs (one is enough, but I like it with three), sausages, tomatoes.
How to make pizza:
Sprinkle the table with flour and the rolling pin too.
Roll out a large pancake the size of your baking sheet. Or a little more - fold the edges. From these proportions, the dough comes out onto a large pizza pan with an average thickness of dough (see in the photo below, the dough will still rise in the oven from the thickness of the rolled out one)
Grease a baking sheet with a piece of butter. I don't like pizza with sunflower oil.
Transfer the pizza dough to a baking sheet. I place a rolling pin on the dough in the middle, bend one edge of the dough onto it from above, then from below, quickly transfer it and straighten it. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle it with flour first, it will be easier to handle.
Grease the dough with mayonnaise and ketchup. If you have a lot of cheese, you can grate a layer of cheese onto the dough - it will be tastier.
Spread this nasty thing with a spoon)
Pour on top, evenly distributing pizza, onions, eggs, and sausages throughout the dough.
Place the tomatoes. You can sprinkle the tomatoes with ground black pepper. If you like it, add greens. And a little more mayonnaise and ketchup.
Grate the cheese on top of this whole mess using a coarse grater. I have two different pieces lying around - it will be even tastier)
Fold over the edges. To prevent them from rising too much later, press with a fork around the perimeter. If you're not too lazy, you can melt a piece of butter in the microwave and brush the edges with a silicone culinary brush (I bought it for 14 rubles in Auchan). This will give a golden brown crust.
Place in the oven (I do it cold). I bake pizza at 200 degrees for 10 minutes! That is, the pizza bakes quickly! But I have a good new oven - it has a “pizza” mode - 15 minutes, 5 minutes it heats up to 200 degrees and bakes for 10 minutes. Previously, in an old, old gas oven, I baked homemade pizza for about 40 minutes at a maximum temperature that was not determined there)
That's it! Simple and delicious - a quick pizza recipe! Bon appetit) Even more recipes
