HOMEMADE PIZZA

Steps:

Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles; drain. , Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each half into a greased 12-in. pizza pan.

PIZZA OVEN DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix water, yeast, and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer until sugar is dissolved. Add bread flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead using the dough hook attachment until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Cover dough and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Punch dough gently to deflate. Divide into 2 pieces on a lightly floured surface. Shape into balls; cover with a damp cloth and let rest, 2 to 3 hours. Flatten or stretch out dough to desired thickness.

PIZZA OVEN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Combine the water and salt in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the flour and use your hands to stir and knead gently until the dough just comes together and all the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough until a smooth ball forms, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled dough box or a bowl and cover with a tightly fitting lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise until slightly puffy, about 1 hour.
• Gently transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide the dough into four even pieces for 12-inch pizzas. (If you want larger pizzas divide the dough into three balls.) Form the pieces into compact balls and transfer to a lightly floured dough box or baking sheet; leave plenty of space between each ball for them to expand. Lightly flour the tops and cover the balls with a lid or plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy and nearly doubled in size, about 7 hours (see Cook's Note). Form and bake as desired.

PIZZA OVEN BREAKFAST PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the water and salt in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the flour and use your hands to stir and knead gently until the dough just comes together and all the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough until a smooth ball forms, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled dough box or bowl and cover with a tightly fitting lid. Let rise until slightly puffy, about 1 hour.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into eight 100-gram pieces. Form the pieces into compact balls and transfer to a lightly floured dough box or baking sheet; leave plenty of space between each ball for them to expand. Lightly flour the tops and cover the balls with a lid or plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy, about 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• For the pizzas: Two hours before cooking the pizzas, let the dough come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile combine the tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, chiles, seasoning packet, onion and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring often, until everything is very soft, about 20 minutes more. Puree in a blender or with an immersion blender and set aside to cool (see Cook's Note).
• Preheat a pizza oven to about 600 degrees F. (Because the egg on top takes a while to cook, the oven should be on the cooler side.)
• Lightly flour a pizza peel and stretch out a dough ball to about 8 inches in diameter. Sauce the round with 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce and dollop all over with 1 tablespoon of the beans. Tear 1 ounce of the Oaxacan cheese into small chunks and top the pizza with it, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the Cotija. Repeat with a second dough ball, stretching and topping it as above.
• Transfer the 2 rounds to the oven and cook, rotating them as necessary, until the crusts are set and lightly golden and the cheese has mostly melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and using the back of a spoon, make a well about 3 inches wide in the middle of each pizza. Crack an egg into each and return to the coolest part of the oven (see Cook's Note). Cook, rotating as needed, until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for a minute; the eggs will continue to cook slightly. Top with the avocado and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce. Repeat with the remaining pizzas.

PIZZA FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, salt, sugar and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rest in a warm place for 10 minutes. , Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients; set aside. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. , Bake until lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Spread sauce over hot crusts to within 2-in. of edges; top with sausage, mushrooms, green pepper and cheese. Bake 20 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
