Instructions

Pizza Dough

1. Preheat oven to 500F. Put your pizza pan in the oven while it’s preheating, and keep it in the oven at 500F for at least 10 minutes.

2. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir.

3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture looks kinda frothy and bubbly.

4. Gently stir in your olive oil.

5. Add two cups of your all-purpose flour and salt. Mix with a spatula until a ball begins to form. The dough will be sticky at first, so feel free to add small amounts of more all-purpose flour until you create a dough ball.

6. Transfer your dough ball to a lightly floured, flat surface. Kneed your dough until it is smooth. Adding up to 1/2 cup of extra flour if needed.

7. Roll your dough into your desired shape and size. Place it onto parchment paper. Make sure pizza dough doesn’t spill over the pizza pan edges, or it won’t bake evenly.

Pizza Toppings

1. Turn your stove on medium-high heat and heat a pan.

2. Put 1/2 - 1lb of ground beef into the pan and cook until browned—season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Drain grease as needed and set aside.

3. Dice 1/2 of a medium yellow or white onion.

4. Combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, and 1/4 cup ketchup to create your pizza sauce. Spread evenly over your pizza dough.

5. Sprinkle your mild cheddar or colbyjack cheese over top of your pizza dough.

6. Add your ground beef, onions, and pickles as desired.

Preparing Your Pizza

1. Carefully transfer your pizza to the preheated pizza pan.

2. Bake your pizza in the oven on your preheated pizza pan for roughly 25-30 minutes or until at least the bottom of your crust is a nice golden brown.

3. Remove the pizza from the oven and carefully move it to a wire rack to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
