Homemade Pizza Rules

Your own homemade pizza can beat the pants off anybody’s. IMO.

Saw Hoda and Kathie Lee tasting Naked Pizza on the Today Show this past week.

It didn’t look naked to me. It looked pretty good, with a crust that looked whole grain and some good toppings. Best I could tell from TV.

But they’d just had some wine, which they were excited about.  Apparently it was aged in stainless barrels. So the pizza was not getting their full attention.

I understand convenience. Well-made homemade pizza can be just as convenient. The notion of “naked” pizza, as in “just plain pizza” appeals to me. I just put it through the lens of “homemade.”

Homemade pizza that rules them all

  • Make your crust with the balance of whole grains and flours that suit your taste
  • Select your toppings the same way: massive mushrooms or sausage sensation, or…
  • Bake it round, square or any other shape
  • Serve it HOT from the oven, no transport delays

Homemade pizza: well topped and always tasty!

National Sausage Pizza Day – Bake a Homemade Pizza

Sausage pizza for National Sausage Pizza dayHomemade sausage pizza has become one of our favorites due to discovering the great pizza sausage from our local Hollywood Markets. No surprise to find there’s a National Sausage Pizza Day today to celebrate this good food.

No affiliate relationship, just a tasty sausage that goes wonderfully well with our favorite pizza sauce by Pastorelli (which I keep tabs on which markets carry it… I’ll drive to a different grocery store for it).

I’m very loyal to particular products when I find one that’s outstanding, one that I’d recommend to family, friends and others. The Hollywood sausage and Pastorelli sauce both qualify.

It’s easy to enjoy a hot sausage pizza several times a week. I’ve already written about how to cook your sausage for pizza. Our favorite Hollywood sausage is not too spicy, not too bland, just right.

Tips for easy sausage pizza:

  • Purchase sausage in bulk, without casings
  • Precook and crumble the sausage before adding to your pizza
  • Drain the sausage on paper towels if there is excess grease
  • Freeze sausage if you won’t use it promptly, in pizza-sized batches
  • Plan to use your frozen sausage within two or three months
  • Thaw package of frozen sausage in the refrigerator overnight, the day before you’ll make your pizza
  • Add cooked sausage to your pizza after the sauce and Parmesan cheese, before the mozzarella

A good pizza sausage adds lots of flavor to your pizza, complements your sauce and other ingredients. It can make your pizza baked at home extra good.
