Tasty and Tested Homemade Pizza Recipes

Heralded as an eternal crowd-pleaser for a reason, it’s not often that pizza disappoints, and this recipe library by Bon Appetit gives you over a dozen delicious reasons to preheat your oven. These homemade pizza recipes are sure to elevate your next at home pizza night in no time.

Caramelized Zucchini Flatbread

Tired of summer squash, try this delicious homemade pizza solution. The secret to a flatbread with a super-crunchy crust? Pre-roasting all of the veggies. This step concentrates their flavor, and also helps to cook out some of their moisture, which would otherwise soak into the crust. When shaping the dough, don’t be afraid to stretch it as thinly as possible—if the dough is springing back on you, just be patient and let it rest for a few minutes.

Buffalo Chicken Homemade Pizza

Combine two favorite foods in one inspiring package. A few tips: Letting the cast-iron pan preheat in a blazing hot oven will help ensure a crispy bottom crust, just be careful getting it in and out of the oven. You can use rotisserie chicken or your own leftovers. But what really makes this recipe stand out is the blue cheese dressing, which is mild enough to convert the blue cheese adverse.

Sheet-Pan Homemade Pizza with Brussels Sprouts and Salami

There is no higher calling of the humble Brussels sprout than this sheet-pan pizza. Pre-roast them until they’re well caramelized before assembling the pizza, which means all you have to do is make sure that the bottom crust is good and brown before sticking the whole thing under the broiler to get the cheese bubbling. The final result is a cheesy, crispy, can’t-stop-eating balance of flavor and texture.

“HEALTHYISH” Salad Pizza

Swap the red sauce for crisp lettuce tossed in a bracing dressing—and be amazed. Let the dough sit out for 20-30 minutes, which will make it easier to handle and stretch. It is highly recommend to make a double batch of pickled onions to layer in sandwiches, salads, and tacos that need a pick-me-up.

Cast-Iron Pizza with Fennel and Sausage

Pizza dough is usually sold as a 1-lb. ball. You only need 12 oz. for this cast-iron pizza recipe; tear off 4 oz. for making garlic knots. We used a 10″ pan, so if yours is bigger, use a bit more dough. Cooking sausage in the pan before adding the dough infuses the crust with porky flavor.

“Making Perfect” Homemade Pizza

With the amount of love, time, and research that went into making what constitutes the “perfect” pizza, you’ll definitely want to share. You’ll only use one 200 g ball of dough and about 3 Tbsp. pizza sauce to make one pie, so you’ll have lots left over—with the best-ever excuse to invite people over for a pizza party, but you can also freeze the dough for up to two weeks to keep it on hand for whenever you need it.

Fried Egg Flatbreads with Nduja and Mustard Greens

Nduja is a spreadable, spicy pork salami that grounds all of the other ingredients, but you’ll get heat from the mustard greens, as well. Give them a taste before you decide how much to put on.

Father’s Day Three Meat Pizza Ring

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup of chopped pepperoni
  • ½ cup of diced Canadian bacon
  • 1 pound of Italian Sausage
  • Two 8 ounce tubes of crescent rolls (refrigerated)
  • One 15 ounce can of pizza sauce, divided in half
  • One ½ cup of shredded pizza cheese
  • Two garlic cloves, crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

The oven will need to preheat to 375 degrees. Take a large skillet and place it on the stove on medium heat. Cook the garlic and the sausage until the sausage is fully cooked (no more pink). Once cooked, drain the grease out of the pan. Add ½ cup of pizza sauce, Canadian Bacon, 1 cup of pizza cheese, and pepperoni into the pan. This is what will be considered the filling in the ring.

Separate the crescent roll dough into the triangles and place them on a 14 inch ungreased pizza pan. Overlapping the wide ends with the points on the outside. There should be a 4 inch opening in the middle of the pan. Press down on the overlapping part of the dough to make sure it is sealed. You don’t want any of the filling falling out of the bottom.

Take the mixture from the pan and spoon it onto the wipe part of the dough. Take the points and fold them over to make the ring. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. The cresent rolls should be golden brown. The remaining cheese can be used to sprinkle on the top. The extra pizza sauce should be served with the roll.

 Sriracha Chicken Bacon Ranch Skewers For Dad

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Take the BBQ sauce, the bacon ranch dressing, Sriracha sauce, and chili powder and combine them together. Place the chicken strips in a resealable gallon bag, and pour the mixture in the bag. Make sure the mixture coats the chicken strips evenly. Let this sit in the refrigerator for two hours or more. This can be prepared in advance which will make it easier to just throw on the grill.

After the two hours, or when you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the bag and put the bacon strip on the chicken, at the top. Take a metal or wooden skewer and thread it through the chicken and bacon. Grill the skewers over medium heat for about 10 to 14 minutes, make sure they are covered. Once the chicken is no longer pink and fully cooked, remove it from the grill and serve. Make sure to flip the chicken while it is grilling so it cooks evenly.
