Stir And Roll Pizza
A quick and versatile pizza dough that comes together easily with basic pantry ingredients, perfect for homemade pizza nights and customizable toppings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Measure flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and 1/4 cup salad oil into a bowl.
- Stir vigorously until the mixture leaves the side of the bowl.
- Gather the dough together and press into a ball. Knead the dough 10 times to make it smooth.
- Divide the dough in half.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier crust, let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes after kneading. If you're out of salad oil, you can substitute with melted butter or olive oil for added flavor. Feel free to mix in herbs or spices like oregano or garlic powder to enhance the taste. This dough can also be used as a base for other American recipes, allowing for versatility in toppings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Stir And Roll Pizza with a fresh side salad or some Deviled Egg Sandwiches for a delightful meal. Consider pairing it with a homemade tomato sauce or a simple garlic dip. You can also experiment with various toppings, from classic pepperoni to fresh vegetables, to cater to different tastes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and warm the pizza for about 10 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but the crust may become chewy rather than crispy.
