Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F / 45°C)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz kosher ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup kosher pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded kosher mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sliced kosher mushrooms (optional)
- ½ cup sliced bell peppers (optional)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Black pepper and kosher salt, to taste
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or fork (for yeast mixture)
- Skillet or frying pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Pizza stone or baking sheet
- Rolling pin
- Sharp knife and cutting board
- Oven mitts
- Cooling rack
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. This indicates the yeast is active and ready.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and kosher salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the meat topping: While the dough is rising, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the kosher ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven: Place your pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C) for at least 30 minutes to ensure a crispy crust.
- Shape the dough: Punch down the risen dough and transfer to a floured surface. Roll it out into a 12-inch circle or your preferred shape, about ¼ inch thick.
- Assemble the pizza: Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Spread the kosher pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Top with the cooked ground beef mixture, mushrooms, and bell peppers if using.
- Bake the pizza: Using a pizza peel or baking sheet, slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes on a cooling rack. Garnish with fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
Tips & Variations
For a crispier crust, try pre-baking the rolled-out dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
If you want to add more veggies, consider kosher olives, artichoke hearts, or fresh tomatoes for added flavor and texture. For a spicy kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking.
Substitute options: You can use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer a leaner meat option. Just make sure it’s kosher-certified.
For a dairy-free version, replace mozzarella with a kosher non-dairy cheese alternative.
Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary to give your pizza a unique twist. And don’t forget to let the dough rest well—it makes a big difference in the texture!
