How To Make The Sauce
Ingredients:
One lb. pasta dough
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Three cloves minced garlic
1 (15 oz) can of pizza sauce
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the pasta dough into the baking dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, and pizza sauce over the pasta dough. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
How To Make The Dough
In this recipe, you’ll learn how to make the dough for a pizza using a food processor. This dough is straightforward to work with, and it comes out perfectly. Once the dough is completed, you can make any pizza your heart desires. This includes classic pizzas like pepperoni and mushroom and more unique combinations like peanut butter and jelly. The possibilities are endless!
First, mix the flour, salt, and yeast in a food processor to make the dough. Then add in the warm water and pulse until everything is combined. Keep the dough the same, or it will be tough. Allow the dough to rest for five minutes before rolling it out.
When rolling out the dough, work it sparingly, or it will become tough. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Then use a pizza pan or an oven-safe dish to shape the dough into whatever size you want. Be sure to prick the surface of the pizza with a fork several times so that steam can escape during baking.
Bake the pizza at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
