It sounds like Francis is getting ready to make a pizza! Here are some steps she might consider for making a delicious pizza:
Ingredients:
- Dough: Store-bought or homemade pizza dough.
- Sauce: Tomato sauce, marinara, or a white sauce.
- Cheese: Mozzarella is most common, but she can also add other varieties like cheddar, parmesan, or goat cheese.
- Toppings: Pepperoni, sausage, vegetables (like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or olives), and herbs (like basil or oregano).
Steps:
- Prepare the Dough: If she’s using homemade dough, she’ll need to let it rise. If it's store-bought, she should let it come to room temperature.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to a high temperature (usually around 475°F to 500°F).
- Shape the Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to her desired thickness.
- Add Sauce: Spread a layer of sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a little space at the edges for crust.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese (or her choice of cheese) generously over the sauced area.
- Add Toppings: Layer on her preferred toppings.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and Slice: Once done, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- Experiment with Flavors: She can try different sauces, cheeses, and toppings to find her favorite combination.
- Crust Options: For a healthier option, she could use a cauliflower crust or whole wheat dough.
- Garnish: Fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil can enhance the finished pizza.
