15 Must-Make Homemade Pizza Recipes because pizza! Are you making homemade pizza yet? I know that having $5 pizza on every street corner sure takes the appeal out of making homemade pizza, but it just isn’t the same. Fancy wood-fired pizza places are delicious but spendy, and everyone knows that frozen pizzas just aren’t all they are advertised to be. There’s something magical about warm homemade dough bubbling away in the oven with all kinds of toppings, cheese, and a little bit of love. Plus, when you make it yourself, you can choose whatever you want to go on top. I thought I’d share a little pizza inspiration with you today to get the juices flowing for your next homemade pizza masterpiece.
And because I can, I thought I’d share my favorite super easy pizza sauce recipe with you. If you ask me, the sauce is just about as important as a good crust, and this sauce has been my go-to for the past few years.
Ditch the premade sauce, which generally has too much sugar and about a million extra ingredients you don’t need hiding in it. The America’s Test Kitchen Family Baking Book

Pizza….drool….frozen pizza….a necessity! But only my own!!! If I am making one pizza, I may as well make several. I bake the empty pizza crust for half (7-8 minutes)of my normal pizza baking time(15 minutes). Once out of the oven, I slather on the sauce, go crazy with the cheese and decorate with pepperoni. Next it is time to flash freeze the pizzas on cookie sheets in the freezer. Once my masterpieces are frozen, I completely wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an XL Ziplock bag. Those bags are amazing!! When we need a quick meal, out comes the frozen pizza, into the preheated oven it goes for the remaining half of the cooking time. These recipes look so yummy!!
Oooh, I love these tips. I have tired homemade frozen pizza without great success. I need more details on the cooking the frozen pizza part. Do you thaw it? What temperature do you normally use? I’d love to hear more!
