Ingredients

For the perfect pizza, you’ll need the classic supreme pizza toppings and ingredients:

a pizza crust – You can buy commercial pizza dough at the store or make your own homemade pizza dough. I’m partial to sourdough pizza crust. But, if you don’t have time to make your own dough, you can alsomake pizza on pita bread, atop French bread, or even on English muffins. You can also makepizza bagels, all with the supreme pizza toppings.

pizza sauce– I typically use an easy pizza sauce made from tomato paste, but if you’re in a pinch, you can use tomato sauce and dried Italian herbs.

cheese – shredded mozzarella cheese and/or jack cheese are great for pizza. Parmesan cheese is a nice option as well. If you shred part skim milk mozzarella yourself, you can avoid the cellulose powder that’s often added to shredded cheese. This additiveoften prevents the cheese from melting well.

meat – Supreme pizza toppings typically include a lot of meats, like pepperoni slices, cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, chopped ham or Canadian bacon, You can also use ground beef or pork sausage if that’s what you have on hand.

veggies – Dazzle your taste buds with lots of veggies, like chopped or sliced white or red onions, chopped or sliced green bell peppers (you can use red or yellow peppers, too), sliced mushrooms, and sliced black olives.

PRO TIP: Be mindful of how much veg you add. Fresh veggies give off water when cooked. Too many will make your pizza soggy and affect the texture of the finished pizza pie. You can offset this a bit if you top your pizza with sautéed vegetables from which the water has already been cooked off.

These are the classic toppings, but feel free to add extra toppings or to top your pizza with fresh basil and/or red pepper flakes.
