πŸ§€ Classic Homemade Cheese Pizza

There’s nothing better than a hot homemade cheese pizza fresh from the oven! πŸ˜πŸ• A thin, crispy crust, rich tomato sauce, bubbly golden mozzarella, and just enough Parmesan make this an easy family favorite. ❀️πŸ”₯

πŸ›’ Ingredients

🍞 For the Pizza Dough
3Β½ cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2ΒΌ tsp) active dry yeast
1ΒΌ cups warm water
2 tbsp olive oil πŸ«’
1 tsp sugar
1Β½ tsp salt πŸ§‚

πŸ… For the Pizza Sauce
1 cup crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced πŸ§„
1 tsp dried oregano 🌿
Β½ tsp dried basil
Β½ tsp sugar
Β½ tsp salt
ΒΌ tsp black pepper

πŸ§€ For the Topping
3 cups freshly shredded whole-milk mozzarella
Β½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 tsp Italian seasoning 🌿
1 tbsp olive oil
🌢️ Red pepper flakes, optional

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Dough 🍞

Pour the warm water into a large bowl. Add the sugar and yeast.

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Add the olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead for 7–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. ⏰

2️⃣ Prepare the Pizza Sauce πŸ…πŸ§„

Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, then remove from the heat.

3️⃣ Heat the Oven πŸ”₯

Preheat your oven to 500Β°F (260Β°C), or as hot as your oven safely allows.

If using a pizza stone or steel, let it preheat for at least 30 minutes.

4️⃣ Stretch the Pizza πŸ•

Place the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Gently stretch it into a large, thin circle, leaving the outer edge slightly thicker to create that beautiful pizzeria-style crust.

Transfer to a pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet.

5️⃣ Add the Toppings πŸ…πŸ§€

Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving the outer crust uncovered.

Generously sprinkle the mozzarella over the sauce. πŸ§€πŸ˜

Add the Parmesan and Italian seasoning.

Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil. πŸ«’

6️⃣ Bake Until Golden πŸ”₯πŸ•

Bake for approximately 10–14 minutes, depending on your oven.

The pizza is ready when the mozzarella is completely melted and bubbling, with golden-brown spots, and the crust is puffed, crisp, and beautifully browned.

7️⃣ Slice & Serve 😍

Let the pizza rest for about 2–3 minutes.

Slice into large triangles and serve while the cheese is still hot and stretchy! πŸ§€πŸ•

Add red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. 🌢️

⏱️ Prep Time: 20 minutes + rising

πŸ—πŸ§„ Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters ❀️

This Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken is the kind of dinner that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible! πŸ˜πŸ— Crispy golden skin, juicy tender chicken, roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and plenty of buttery pan juices make this an easy family dinner you'll want to make again and again. πŸ§ˆπŸ§„πŸŒΏ

πŸ›’ Ingredients
πŸ— 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken leg quarters
🧈 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
πŸ«’ 2 tbsp olive oil
πŸ§„ 8 whole garlic cloves
πŸ§„ 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
🌿 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
🌿 3 sprigs fresh thyme
🌢️ 1½ tsp smoked paprika
πŸ§„ 1 tsp garlic powder
πŸ§… Β½ tsp onion powder
πŸ§‚ 1Β½ tsp salt
⚫ 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
πŸ‹ 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
🌱 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken πŸ—

Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). πŸ”₯

Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels. This helps create that beautiful crispy skin! ✨

Season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter πŸ§„πŸ§ˆ

In a small bowl, combine:

🧈 Melted butter
πŸ§„ Minced garlic
πŸ‹ Lemon juice
🌿 A little chopped rosemary and thyme

Mix well.

Brush some of the garlic butter generously over the chicken. 😍

3️⃣ Sear the Chicken πŸ”₯

Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the chicken skin-side down in the hot skillet.

Sear for 4–5 minutes without moving it, until the skin becomes beautifully golden and crisp.

Roast for 30–40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.

The chicken should reach at least 165Β°F (74Β°C) internally. For especially tender dark meat, cooking the leg quarters a little higher, around 175–185Β°F (79–85Β°C), gives a softer, juicier texture.

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven.

Let the chicken rest for 5–10 minutes.
