My daughter and I are making homemade pizza tonight. Any tips for getting the crust to cook thoroughly? I always have this issue when trying to make pizza.

Pop the dough in the oven for 4-5 minutes before adding the sauce + ingredients.

Isn't this a pretty big step for someone who can't cook peas?

Seriously, though, are you using a pizza stone? If you are, make sure it's preheated thoroughly.

The big thing I noticed when making homemade crust is to make sure the dough is completely level and the toppings are evenly distributed.

Buy a frozen one (HRI or Reggios) and call it a day.

I like Palermos and Gino's East thin crust frozen.

I had a Tombstone last night...it was awful.

I bought a pizza stone for the first time hoping it would help. So yes I'm going to preheat it.

Shred some Hersey Kisses on top of the dough.

The darkness of the chocolate attracts heat to ensure thoroughly cooked dough.

Gino's East has the best thin crust frozen pizza out there. Sausage + Pepperoni FTW.

Ever since I got one of those, it really helped...make sure you have enough flour on there, though...it's a real bitch when the dough sticks.

That's really all there is to it.

You're not gonna attempt to steam peas again are you?

Connie's sauce tastes odd to me...I like the crust, though.

Are you using a premade crust or doing it yourself? If you're doing it yourself, don't work the dough too much or else it will ruin it.

There are two ways to go about this: doing it yourself (not for me, but probably a fun time with kids) or calling a local pizza place and pay them a buck or two for them to roll out a pie. Any pre-made grocery store crust is junk. Also, hope you're using whole milk mozzarella.

Home Run Inn is my go-to but sometimes a $3 Jack's w/pepperoni hits the spot. I don't feel guilty eating the whole thing because it's so thin. Reminds me of bowling alley pizza as a kid.

Agree. Also, add some corn meal for an added crunch on the bottom crust.

Dough needs to rise 90 mins or so get started. Stone preheat 1 hour @ 525.

You are going to need a paddle. If you don't have one use a baking sheet. If you don't have a baking sheet you are fucked. Scrounge a peice of sheet metal. You put corn meal on the paddle which acts as ball bearings to slide the pie in and out in and out in and out.. sorry lost my train of thought. You don't have corn meal use flour.
