Ah! You said “Peeza”—I’m assuming you mean pizza, but maybe you’re hinting at a fun variation or spelling. 😄 Either way, here’s a simple, homemade pizza recipe you can make in under an hour. 🍕
🍕 Quick Homemade Pizza (“Peeza”)
Ingredients (1 large pizza / 2 medium)
For the dough:
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¾ cup warm water (105–110°F / 40–43°C)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the topping:
- ½–¾ cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings: pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, etc.
Instructions
1. Make the dough
- Mix yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Knead 5–7 minutes until smooth. Let rise 20–30 minutes (dough should double).
2. Prepare the pizza
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Roll or stretch dough into a 12-inch circle (or rectangle for a pan pizza).
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread sauce evenly, sprinkle cheese, and add toppings.
3. Bake
- Bake 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
4. Serve
- Slice, drizzle with olive oil if desired, and enjoy hot!
🔥 Tips
- Extra crispy crust: Pre-bake dough 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Flavor boost: Brush crust with garlic butter before baking.
- Cheese hack: Mix mozzarella with a bit of parmesan for richness.
If you want, I can also give a super-quick “no-rise” Peeza that’s ready in 20 minutes and still tastes amazing.
