Believe it or not—you don't need a wood burning pizza oven to make a delicious home made pizza. All you really need is the time and all the ingredients. People definitely stray away from making dough from scratch, but it is well worth the effort. Even though it won't cook as fast if you don't have a wood burning pizza oven, and it may lack the rustic burnt taste—the results can still be absolutely astonishing.

So this article will teach you how to make a perfect pizza dough, with a simple recipe; and we'll also give you a coveted recipe for a tasty Baked Potato Pizza. This pizza recipe is done different in various states. New York has it's own variation of this recipe, as well as restaurants in Texas or Florida—but we'll be focusing on the fresh California style baked potato pizza. And the best part, it can be cooked in a conventional oven if you don't have a wood burning pizza oven! So get ready for a tasty recipe.

Here's what you'll need for the Dough:



-1 tablespoon active dry yeast (or substitute for 1oz of brewer's yeast)
-1 cup of warm water

-3 cups of flour

-1 ½ tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil

-a pinch of salt

-a pinch of sugar

In a small bowl—put some of the yeast in the warm water you've measured. Do some light stirring until all the yeast has dissolved in the water. Set it aside for about 6-7 minutes. While waiting, get a large bowl—pour the flour in the bowl. Make a hole in the center of the flour—when this is finished, pour the yeast and water mix in that hole; and then add the olive oil, salt and sugar.

Go ahead and mix the whole mix with a wooden spoon—once a general consistency of dough forms—its time for the most fun part—kneading. Begin to work the dough with your hands. You can do this right on your countertop just be sure to make sure that there is extra flour placed beneath the dough you knead to avoid any small pieces sticking to your counter. Continue to do this until the dough has the perfect consistency. Attempt to tear it—you should be able to pull quite far before the dough tears. This is a perfect test to know whether its ready for the wood burning pizza oven or conventional oven.

However—before you can bake the dough—place it in a bowl, and cover it with a towl...you'll need to let the dough sit for about 45 minutes to an hour to let the yeast rise and the dough expand. This is a perfect time to preheat your oven or start burning the wood in your wood burning pizza oven.

Now—for the toppings for your pizza here's what you'll need:

-2 baked potatoes

-Sour Cream

-Bacon Bits (pre cooked)
-Green onions

-Cheese (whatever you like)



-Marinara Sauce...

First start by skinning the potatoes, and cutting them to small pieces, at this point your pizza dough should be finished. So use a rolling pin to make the dough into a circular disk. You can then top it—and put it in your conventional oven for 25 minutes or your wood burning pizza oven for about 15 minutes.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked Baked Potato Pizza!
