This is what I made for supper tonight, a homemade pizza. I've never really been one to want to learn how to cook, but recently I decided that now would be just as good of a time as ever to learn how to cook. I knew how to cook basic things like burgers and steaks, but I really wanted to expand and learn something new. This past week, through Youtube tutorials, I learned how to cook pizza from scratch, well, at least the dough. 

The first few times I made pizzas, they would never turn out quite right with usually the dough being the issue. Tonight, I took everything that I've learned and combined it into what you see here. This is a pepperoni and bacon pizza with crust made from bread flour, water, sugar, yeast, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. The video that I learned this from was a video on how to make pizza in a cast iron pan, but I found that the dough recipe would work just as well with a traditional pizza pan too. It took a lot more flour than what the video said though because otherwise my hands would just be coated in wet sticky dough. It wasn't very fun lol.

For sauce, I cheated a bit and used Prego, but it tastes good to me and I bought it because it was on a good sale at my local grocery store. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it. For the cheese, I sprinkled the crust with grated parmesean cheese and used a great four cheese pizza blend that included provolone, romano, and mozzarella. 

After applying the toppings, I sprinkled a light coating of an Italian seasoning blend over the whole thing and lightly drizzled extra virgin olive oil over it. I cooked it at 475F for about 10 minutes and it turned out great. 

I bought a lot of stuff to make pizzas so it looks like I'll be eating a lot of pizza this month lmao.
