Cooking Games – Homemade Pizza


Want to make something fun for dinner tonight? Try your hand at an authentic pizza – well, mostly authentic anyhow.

Gather Cooking Games Ingredients
To make pizza you’ll need the following:

  • Pizza crust
  • Roma tomatoes
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil

Making Homemade Pizza
This style of pizza is called margherita pizza in Italy and is usually found in small shops where you buy it by size. You simply gesture how big a piece you want and it is weighed to determine price.

To make it yourself, stretch out the pre-made pizza crust over a rectangular pan. I prefer the kind of crust that comes in a tube ready to use. Bake the pizza for about five minutes.

Slice your tomatoes very thinly or you can dice them if you prefer. Once you have the tomatoes ready, spread them into a thin layer on the pizza. Add a layer of fresh basil on top of the tomatoes.

Sprinkle the top of the pizza with a generous serving of mozzarella, bake and enjoy.
