20-Minute Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt or table salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup all purpose flour for kneading and rolling the dough
- 1/2 to 1 cup good quality pizza or pasta sauce
- 1 to 2 cups of your favorite cheese
- 1 cup Italian sausage, ground beef or pepperoni
- 1 to 2 cups of your favorite vegetable toppings (basil, arugula, green peppers, etc.)
Steps
- 1
Turn your oven to 425 degrees. Place a cast iron pan and pizza stone in the oven. Let the pan preheat in the oven.
- 2
Have the cheese and sauce ready. If you are using vegetables, cut those. This is a quick-cooking pizza so cut your veggies on the smaller side. If you are using sausage or ground beef, have that ready as well.
- 3
Place all the dough ingredients in a bowl: self-rising flour, water, oil and salt and stir until combined.
- 4
Put 1/4 cup of flour on your work surface and spread it out. Place the dough in the center and knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Add more flour as needed and knead until the dough is no longer sticky.
- 5
Cut the dough in half. Set one piece aside and cover, leave the other piece on the floured surface.
- 6
Roll the dough to about an 1/8” inch thickness. Prick holes in with a fork over the surface of the dough to keep it from bubbling up. Roll over the edges to create a border crust.
- 7
Pull the pan out of the oven and place the crust on top of the hot pan.
- 8
Spread 1/4 - 1/2 half cup of sauce or more over the crust. If using meat, place 1/2 teaspoon size pieces of uncooked meat over the surface of the pizza, top with vegetables and cheese. Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
- 9
Pull pizza out of oven and top with fresh basil or arugula.
- 10
Repeat with the process with the other half of the dough.
