Made homemade pizza

April 24, 2026 - Reading time: ~1 minute

We had friends over tonight and we made homemade pizza. We tripled this recipe and we had enough for four adults and five pre-teens.

I am always reluctant to use the baking stone because the bake time isn’t the same as our Nordic Ware pans — it seems like it takes forever to finish baking. Tonight, I preheated the stone in the oven with another pizza, then pulled out the pan after a few minutes and rolled out the dough on the pan when it was cooled enough to touch and wouldn’t start baking the dough before it went in the oven. 

I lost track of how many cups of flour I had put in so I had to edge up to the right amount by slowly adding in handfuls of flour until it pulled away from the Kitchenaid mixing bowl.

The pizzas all turned out, but I discovered my bag of pepperoni saved for this meal had been eaten as a snack by my boys. So it was three cheese pizzas. :)
