How to Make Rode Pizza’s
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Red Sauce
- Heat a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, blended roasted red pepper, and spices.
- Let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
- Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape on a floured surface.
- Spread the red sauce evenly over the dough.
- Add your favorite toppings and finish with fresh mozzarella.
Step 4: Bake & Serve
- Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with olive oil.
- Slice and enjoy!
