Want to learn to make great tasting homemade pizza? You have come to the right place...

The perfect Crust! Great Tasting Sauce! Fresh Ingredients! You'll learn all of this and more including the tips and tricks the pro's use to create the best tasting pizza's in the world.

If your family is anything like mine, pizza plays a significant role at the dinner table. It is convenient, great tasting; flexible enough to meet the needs of different taste preferences, can feed a large group of unexpected guests, and is relatively economical. Making homemade pizza adds the additional elements of fun and creativity.

My daughter likes pepperoni, my son likes sausage and onions…and I’ll eat both :) How else can you satisfy everyone’s like and dislikes so easily? We are an active family much like yours I am sure, and the convenience of making a phone call and having dinner arrive in 30 minutes…piping hot and made to order, after soccer or basketball practice is wonderful.

But like many things in life, we give up one thing to get another.

In this case we are giving up taste for convenience. Making a phone call and having dinner arrive on your doorstep is very convenient, but slow roasting peppers and garlic…or adding a bit extra oregano to your sauce, or using fresh local ingredients for your toppings is taste.

We have also found that making homemade pizza is a great way to get the family together, and to get the kids active in the kitchen.

The shrieks of “when is dinner ready” are eliminated when my daughter is up to her elbows in dough, or my son is busy shredding cheese, or we taste the sauce. Instead the shrieks are about who gets to roll out the dough, or how much salt the sauce needs…

The kids also enjoy using the equipment. My daughter heads for the drawer to get her apron on at first mention of making pizza.

She is much more organized than her brother, so it is off to the pantry for all of the required baking ingredients…and back into the drawer for measuring cups, rolling pin, bowls and anything else that catches her eye.

My son is more interested in the things that can burn him or cut him… (What 11 year old boy isn’t, right?), so he prefers to spend his time working on the sauce and toppings. Opening a can of tomatoes (cut), chopping fresh herbs (cut), cooking the sauce (burn), shredding cheese (cut), and putting the pizza in the oven (burn).

We hope you enjoy our website. Just like our homemade pizza making…the website is a family affair. The Internet is a bigger part of all of our lives and we thought it would be a great experience for the kids to learn more about it. It teaches basics such as planning and organization skills, but will also give them experience writing and learning about new technologies.

I might have them beat at the planning, organizing, and writing categories…but I think I have ground to make up when it comes to technology.

We hope you won't mind...we will have a little fun along the way. Ok, let’s get started...

Crust Thickness

To make a thin pizza crust: If you are aiming for a thin crust pizza, you will want to use less dough per pan. You can also just stretch your pizza dough more on the pan. Doing this will naturally reduce the crust thickness.

To get a thick pizza crust: For a thicker crust, you need to use a pizza pan with a smaller circumference, use more pizza dough per pan or stretch out the dough less. The result would be increased crust thickness.
