Instructions

1. Melt the butter on medium heat. Add it to a mixing bowl along with warm water, oil, milk, baking powder, yeast and salt. Mix it together for 5 minutes.

2. Add the flour to the mixer a little at a time. Mix everything together and then cover the dough with plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for an hour.

3. Put the dough in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Put it on the counter with a little flour and shape the dough into pizzas with your hands.

4. To make the pizza sauce, mix the ground tomato, pizza sauce, crushed garlic, basil, oregano, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper into a mixing bowl. Mix all of the ingredients together.

5. To make a vegetarian pizza, spread the sauce on the dough and then put mozzarella cheese on top. Cut up the red onion, green pepper, mushrooms and tomatos and place them on top of the cheese. Finish with the black olives. Place the pizza in the oven for 10-14 minutes at 450 degrees.

6. To make a combination pizza, spread the sauce on the dough and then put mozzarella cheese on top. Add ham, pineapple and ricotta cheese to 1/4 of the pizza. Add pepperoni, ham, sausage and meatball to another 1/4 of the pizza. Add tomato, artichoke, roasted pepper and mushroom to the third 1/4 of the pizza. Let the final quarter be cheese. Place the combination pizza in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 450 degrees.

7. To make a white pizza, spread olive oil, crushed garlic, butter and oregano on the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Place the pizza in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 150 degrees.

Hi, this is Adjani (ph) from Deli Italiano. Right now the dough is done. I leave it one hour outside room temperature, after one hour I put it in refrigerator, like three hours and after this I won't use it right now. If I don't need it I can use it up to 24 hours, I leave it in refrigerator, no problem. Right now I want to show how open the dough. I need this one, okay that's the big one, large. I put it in the flour, I made like this, I put, because the air go out, I spill it, right now I put little flour, that's the granite, that's very good for the dough.

Like this we made my hand like this very easy look. We made a circle, very easy, right now we made like this, open slowly, slowly like this, this hand you leave it in the dough, just use right hand, push like this, this is leave it, stop. This is the dough not too thick, not too thin the same. After that I put it in the white board, okay, and I use the fork, it goes like this. Close the bubble. I do this; because when I put it in the oven, don't come bubbles. Okay, here like this, right now I have one big pan, that's okay. I put the pizza in the pan; I made it like this, I open, right now the dough done. Now were done, just we need to put the sauce, after sauce I put the cheese and the topping.
