This is a long one: almost 11 minutes!! We started the dough around 2 p.m. and finished up for our pizza dinner at 7! There’s nothing fancy about this video – just us making pizza. But we thought it would be a fun one.
Oh, and I say that our “homemade sauce” is cool and homemade – well we ended up doing something really simple for the sauce instead, so ignore that part!
Enjoy!

This is a question for the husband. How do you know so much about baking? did your mom bake alot when you were growing up? It's such a science!
Fig says
ok I need to say this…
The video Rocks!

Fig says

I didn't learn very much from my family about baking – mostly my family made me comfortable in the kitchen, which led to learning how to cook well, which then gave me the confidence and some of the know-how to start baking. But in reality, I pretty much learned ALL of my baking knowledge from Alton Brown's book, I'm Just Here For More Food, Food x Mixing + Heat = Baking. If there's anybody who's going to take a scientific approach to baking it's him, and that appeals so much to me. I think a lot of people are intimidated by baking because it takes a lot of failure before you succeed. But hey, I'll still eat a slightly burned loaf or a deflated cake!

Oh….my…..gosh…I made an oatmeal pancake this morning and I'm in love!! I know I'm a little behind on trying out the recipe (I mean…it's only been up for forever!!), but I decided to try making on this morning…yumm! I went ahead with adding banana…so glad I did! Thanks, Kath!

Seriously, you guys are so cute! When you said the video was 11 minutes long, I thought I'd watch for just a couple…just finished watching the whole thing! I've never seen anybody bake by weights, very interesting. I love it that you just pour out the ingredients, less measuring cups/spoons to wash. And I loved it when Kath said, "I could probably eat this whole thing" because that is what I was thinking about myself. Great job! Your pizza looks fabulous.

I also made pizza last night for the first time with a homemade crust!! Yours looked better though…my crust wasn't quite thin enough and it was whole wheat and a bit too "healthy" tasting for us. I think I went too extreme finding a healthy recipe…I'll have to check yours out! Thanks for sharing 🙂

i'm just adding my appreciation to the above comments. you guys do an excellent job with the videos! they always turn out so finished and clean! i have no trouble following what you are doing in them. they are also a big help and make the blog much more personal. so great job you guys! love it! *a quick question, how many calories do you think is in just the dough? b/c i want to make this, but also want to experiment w/different toppings than just the ones used tonight. thanx!! ^_^
Kath says
Thanks everyone!!! So glad it wasn't too boring 🙂
Nicole,
SO glad you liked the pancake!!! I might have one tomorrow…hmmmm!
Ana,
The dough was about 500 kcal. The toppings added another 400-500 (mostly the cheese).

I was wondering if you could post the pizza dough recipe. Its harder for me to follow the video for some reason! Thanks!
the husband says
This dough turned out alright, but I feel the need (knead!) to experiment with some other pizza recipes, so I probably won’t make this one again for awhile. I honestly feel like I can’t explain it much better than in the video, but for the sake of having it written out, here ya go:
-120g AP flour (1C)
-8g granulated sugar (2t)
-3g kosher salt (1t)
-3g instant yeast (.75t)
-1T chopped rosemary
-5g olive oil (.5t)
-3.5oz water
-Mix all ingredients until dough comes together.
-Knead dough until it has firm gluten development.
-Place dough in bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in size.
-Fold dough.
-If you’re able at this point, stash the dough in the fridge until 1 hour before dinner. The long rest will help immensely with the texture.
-Making sure that the dough is at room temperature, it’s time to shape it. If you’re not confident in your shaping abilities, I suggest using a rolling pin to gently flatten it out.
-Bake for 3 minutes in 350* oven.
-Remove dough, place toppings on, and cook for another 15 minutes or so.
Hope that helps!
