Amazing Pizza Combinations To Make At Home

With National Pizza Day on Feb. 9, there’s only one thing to do: Eat pizza. But, even if you are craving pizza from your go-to place after work this week, let me challenge you for a second: Have you ever considered making pizza at home? It may seem scary at first, but after seeing all of these delicious pizza combinations to make at home, I seriously think it’s worth a try.

The hardest part about making pizza at home is the pizza dough. It requires a lot of flour and a lot of sitting time to rise. A common mistake people make with pizza is thinking there shouldn’t be that much flour in the batch… but in fact, your pizza dough really does need that much flour. If you don’t put enough flour in the pizza dough it will just be sticky and hard to deal with, let alone even trying to roll out and put toppings on. So do yourself a favor and avoid my mistake; put in the right amount of flour to the dough.

The next step is making sure you have all the ingredients, which is where these recipes come into play. Sure you could make a classic cheese or pepperoni, but have you ever considered other combinations? Like a roasted butternut squash, curry cauliflower, or even a BBQ blue cheese pizza? How about a white pizza with pesto? Or maybe even a pizza without any sauce at all? There are so many delicious combinations to explore this National Pizza Day that you should consider making right in your kitchen.
