		<description><![CDATA[Interested in knowing how to make pizza?  It does take a little bit of skill; skill that can take practice to perfect.  Knowing how to make pizza is by far easier when you learn from the experts!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=makingpizzapie.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6838881&amp;post=17&amp;subd=makingpizzapie&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learning how to make pizza is simple, but can be very rewarding.  The first thing you need to understand about pizza is the hierarchy of pizza components.  Some aspects of a pizza are more important than others.  Focusing your efforts to develop macro pizza making skills will help you master the general concepts of pizza making.  (Skip to the real article on my other site here: <a title="How to Pizza" rel="follow" href="http://howtopizza.com/">How to Pizza</a>)</p>
<p>Is it hard to learn how to make a pizza?  Without any help it can be.  Why?  It takes time to figure out which pizza making methodologies work the best.  Small variations of ingredients can yield a totally different pizza.  Oil in pizza dough is an excellent example.  Varying the oil used in a pizza dough can greatly impact the pizza crust&#8217;s texture.  If you are new to pizza making, it is probable you are in for some experimentation before making your best pizza.</p>
<p>Dough is essential to excellent pizza; however, many individuals lack even the most basic understandings for creating a good dough.  Although it is a simple recipe, there are many variables to consider.  What type of flour will you use?  Will you use a lean formula or will your dough incorporate oil, sugar, and other ingredients?  Should you toss your pizza dough?  If you use the right ingredients, follow the proper assembly methods,  knead your dough, and store it correctly, you are close to making a great pizza dough.  It takes a superior dough to yield a superior crust during the pizza&#8217;s time in the oven!</p>
<p>Sauce for pizza is another crucial element of a good tasting pizza.  Sauce sits between the cheese, toppings, and the dough.  Sauce therefore harmonizes the flavors of every element of a pizza.  The spices and taste of a sauce will either develop or demote the palatability of your culinary creation.  Although making sauce for pizza isn&#8217;t exactly rocket science, constructing your sauce correctly does play a role in excellent pizza.</p>
<p>After mastering the dough, you have a few other major components of pizza making to develop: sauce making, cheese blending, ingredient usage, and of course baking methods.  It can seem a little overwhelming on your own.  As a result, the necessity of getting a little help with your pizza becomes clear.  If you can just find someone to teach you what their experience taught them, you&#8217;d be ahead of the curve.</p>
<p>Pizza is a food everyone has their own unique spin on; there are really as many pizzas as there are people.  Even after learning from the professionals, you probably won&#8217;t like their favorite pies as well as yours.  All it takes are the fundamentals, and the creative additions to the pizza—e.g., cheese blends, toppings, and spices are really dependent upon a chef&#8217;s taste and creativity.  As a result, pizza making could be classified as an art not governed by culinary guidelines not permissive of deviation and fun for all.</p>
<p>A noteworthy expert on this topic is an author and former Director of Domino&#8217;s Pizza&#8217;s Quality Control Department.  Since she retired, she wrote an entire book about what her years of teaching did for her.  I wrote more about this woman at my own blog:  <a title="How to Pizza" rel="follow" href="http://howtopizza.com/">How to Pizza</a>.  Check it out and I think you&#8217;ll be surprised at the amount, quality, and organization of the information present at this little site.  Yes, I am quite proud of it I&#8217;ll admit! <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So where can you learn about making the best pizza without spending to much time or money. The experts of course.  So check it out if you want:  <a title="How to Pizza" rel="follow" href="http://howtopizza.com/">How to Pizza</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">How to Make Pizza Dough from Scratch</span></p>
<p>Knowing how to make pizza dough from scratch often looks simplistic on the surface.  Combine flour, salt, yeast, and perhaps oil and other ingredients to will quickly result in the creation of a pizza dough.  However, knowing the nuances of each ingredient and the proper assembly protocol will result in superior dough.  Taking time to acquire a little knowledge about each component of pizza dough can greatly improve the taste, texture, and appeal of any pizza you make at home!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Choosing Flour for Pizza Dough</span></p>
<p>Knowing how to find the best flour for pizza dough is a quintessential understanding necessary for anyone who wants to know how to make pizza dough from scratch.  Flour comprises the greatest proportion of all the ingredients used in your pizza dough.  Clearly, selecting the right flour will go a long way to ensure great dough.</p>
<p>So how can you select the perfect flower for pizza from among the vast array of flour types and brands?  Without a little bit of knowledge, this can be extremely difficult.  A key pointer to keep in mind when choosing a flour is its compilation.  Different flours contain various ratios of gluten; a protein which gives pizza dough its signature texture.  Using high-gluten flour will result in a firmer, crispier pizza crust.  Conversely, using a flour low in gluten will yield a softer, more malleable crust.</p>
<p>Flour brands will have varying ratios of three basic elements germ, endosperm, and bran.  The ratio of each component in comparison to the others determines the overall ratio of gluten to other components of a flower.</p>
<p>Using different flours is one way to bring an exciting element of uniqueness to each type of pie you produce.  Doing a little research and experimenting with different types of flour will help you ascertain which flour works best with each different pizza you make.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Getting the Right Kind of Yeast for Pizza Dough</span></p>
<p>Everyone desiring to know how to make pizza dough from scratch should understand the importance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, i.e., baker’s yeast.  Nearly all pizza dough employs the fungus to give it slight lift and a pleasant subtle flavor.  Fortunately, selecting the best yeast for pizza dough is quite simple in comparison to flour selection.  One really has only two choices when it comes to yeast selection:  granulated yeast and compressed yeast.</p>
<p>The predictable behavior of granulated yeast lends itself perfectly to pizza dough.  Aside from this, granulated yeast has a far longer shelf life and is much easier to acquire.  Nearly every grocery store will have a few different brands of granulated yeast and any kind will do.  Compressed yeast on the other hand is difficult to find short of a local brewery or specialty store.</p>
<p>Proofing granulated yeast is not necessary, but may be desirable to ensure your pizza dough comes out correctly.  Conversely, compressed yeast should always be proofed to ensure the yeast’s quality.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Auxiliary Ingredients In Pizza Dough From Scratch</span></p>
<p>Aside from flour and yeast, salt is perhaps the next most important element of pizza dough.  You want to use caution when adding salt to pizza dough as other components of your pizza may contain salt.  A pizza can quickly become too salty and very unappetizing for this reason.</p>
<p>Your water should be free of undesirable flavors; water is after all, a major constituent of most pizza dough.  Fresh water free of unwanted undertones of flavor will help ensure your dough has a superior aroma and taste.</p>
<p>Good dough is without question curial, and (depending on your opinion) possibly the most crucial element in any pizza.  To learn more about how to make pizza dough from scratch at home, check out my little place on the web: <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a title="How to Pizza Dough" href="http://howtopizza.com/How-to-Pizza-Dough">How to Pizza Dough</a></span> a great reference for any current and future pizza making endeavors.</p>
<p>There is without question a lot of easy to understand, but not widely known information about creating great pizza.  Getting a bit of education on the matter will help you consistently produce incredible pizza pie!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Making The Best Pizza Sauce By Hand</span></p>
<p>There is a major downfall to utilizing commercial sauce for pizza:&nbsp; it has added salt.&nbsp; Excess salt, unless you so desire a saltier sauce, should be avoided.&nbsp; Making your own sauce for pizza will require a few extra minutes; however, creating pizza sauce from scratch ensures a pizza&#8217;s culinary compilation possesses exceptionally robust, dynamic flavor.&nbsp; My site <span style="font-style:italic;"><a rel="follow" href="http://howtopizza.com/How-to-Pizza-Sauce" title="How to Pizza Sauce">How to Pizza Sauce</a> has a more in-depth distillation you can check out now if you so desire.</span></p>
<p>Making pizza sauce from home is not as difficult as it may first seem.  It requires a just a few minutes of mashing tomatoes and incorporating ingredients.  The time required for cooking allows time to accomplish other essential tasks.  In all, you will spend approximately 10 minutes assembling ingredients and no more than 60 minutes watching the stove.  Therefore, feeling intimidated about the time and work required for creating your own pizza sauce is unnecessary.  Resorting to commercial pizza sauce should only be done when time necessitates the convenience of a pre-made sauce.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Creating Your Own Pizza Sauce From Scratch</span></p>
<p>The quintessential component of excellent made from scratch pizza sauce is the tomato.  Starting with great tomatoes is absolutely essential.  If fresh tomatoes can be found, at a local farmers market or from your (or your neighbors) garden, use these!  A great tomato for sauce will be very ripe but still firm; softness indicates a tomato has begun to deteriorate.</p>
<p>According to Evelyne Slomon, expert New York chef:</p>
<blockquote><p>The fate of the fresh tomato in the United States has been sad to watch.  A “real” tomato is rare to our supermarkets, even when tomatoes are “in season.” But when the supplies from the farmer’s market or friend’s gardens keep me in fresh tomatoes up to my neck, my pizza-making activities reach fever pitch.”<br />
The Pizza Book (© 1984), p. 20</p></blockquote>
<p>If you cannot ascertain fresh tomatoes, or simply do not wish to go through extra preparation, canned whole tomatoes suffice wonderfully.</p>
<p>Tomato paste is a secondary ingredient in pizza sauce and should be used sparingly.  Too much tomato paste will yield a heavy, and, depending upon individual taste, possibly overly salty sauce.  The chef is ultimately the one who decides the final consistency and flavor; often practice makes perfect.  There is no “wrong way” to make pizza sauce from scratch at home.</p>
<p>The tertiary components of pizza sauce are all optional.  Spices, salt, sugar, and other ingredients will form synergy of flavor; differentiating your sauce from others.  Although comestibles like salt and sugar do not age, spices certainly do.  An old spice simply lacks the ability to flavor food correctly.  Insuring your spices are fresh is the most important protocol to follow when selecting tertiary sauce components.</p>
<p>Once you have your ingredients assembled, you are ready to combine them.  If you have fresh tomatoes you will need to remove the seeds (and perhaps skins if you so desire) before you place them in your pot.  Canned whole tomatoes may not require this extra step.</p>
<p>Crushing the tomatoes will give your sauce the right consistency.  Whether tomatoes are pureed or simply mashed, sauce consistency should compliment the style and flavors of the pizza.  Again, practice makes perfect; only experienced pizza chefs will know how to create the best pizza sauce from scratch.</p>
<p>Once your tomatoes are mashed, add your tomato paste and any tertiary pizza ingredients in pot and place it on the stove.  Cooking your sauce and spices will help fuse the flavors, reduce the moisture, and bring out natural sugars in the vegetables.  As a result, the chemical processes induced via cooking will greatly affect its final consistency and affect on the pallet.  As a result, the proper method of cooking is an important part of knowing how to make pizza sauce from scratch.</p>
<p>In addition to cooking you will also need to select the right type of pot.  Certain pots will react poorly with various elements in your sauce; inadvertently imparting undesirable undertones of flavor.</p>
