How to Make a Supreme Pizza
Homemade pizza has never been so easy! Just read on for a basic overview of the steps!
- Prepare dough and while it is rising, prep ingredients.
- Top pizza with sauce, toppings and of course cheese.
- Bake until bubbly and browned.
Let pizza sit about 10 minutes before slicing and serving, this keeps the cheese from sliding off.
PRO TIP: Before adding the oil to the prepared pizza dough, poke the surface of both crusts with a fork. This is called “docking” and prevents large bubbles from forming on the crust. It’s what professional pizzaiolos do!

What kind of pizza sauce do you use?
Any store bought or homemade pizza sauce will work Elyannah!
I ‘ve made this three times already. I used store bought dough abd crushed tomatoes instead of pizza sauce .Thanks for a great recipe .
So happy you love it, Kim!
Holly could you tell me the difference between Pizza sauce and speg. sauce. to put on pizza and if i have the speg. sauce what could i put in to put on the pizza thank you very much
Pizza sauce is typically uncooked ground tomatoes, whereas spaghetti sauce is cooked. Both will work on pizza if you only have spaghetti sauce!
I like pizza send me pizza recipe
You’re in the right spot Kamalof! Enjoy the pizza.
Can you make dough ahead of time?
If so, how long before you make pizzas would you have to pull dough out of fridge? Also, do you need to let it rise sgain?
Pizza dough can be made hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Rest on the counter for about 20 minutes and then roll to fit pans.
