Ingredients List

To master these Domino’s pizza copycat recipes, gather these ingredients:

• For the Dough: 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt. (Consider using bread flour for a chewier crust, or substitute gluten-free flour blend for dietary needs).
• For the Sauce: 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp dried basil, ¼ tsp sugar, salt and pepper to taste. (Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!)
• For the Cheese: 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (a blend of mozzarella and provolone mimics Domino’s perfectly!), ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. (Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a unique flavor).

Timing

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 45-50 minutes (approximately 20% faster than many online pizza recipes).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

Activate the yeast in warm water with sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add olive oil and salt. Gradually add flour, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Making the Sauce

Simmer crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, basil, and sugar in a saucepan for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. This slow simmering develops a richer, deeper flavor.

Step 3: Shaping the Pizza

Punch down the dough and roll it out to your desired thickness and shape. (For a truly authentic Domino’s experience, aim for a slightly thinner crust).

Step 4: Adding the Toppings

Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add your favorite s-inspired toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, etc.).

Step 5: Baking the Pizza

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Nutritional Information (per slice, approximate)

This will vary depending on toppings, but a general estimate for a slice with pepperoni and cheese:

• Calories: 300-350
• Fat: 15-20g
• Saturated Fat: 8-10g
• Cholesterol: 30-40mg
• Sodium: 600-700mg
• Carbohydrates: 30-35g
• Fiber: 2-3g
• Sugar: 4-5g
• Protein: 12-15g

(Note: These are estimates only. The exact nutritional content will depend on the specific ingredients used and portion size.)

Healthier Alternatives for the Recipe

For a lighter Domino’s pizza copycat experience:

• Use whole wheat flour for the dough to increase fiber.
• Opt for low-fat cheese or reduce the amount of cheese used.
• Load up on vegetables for added nutrients and lower calorie density.
• Substitute turkey pepperoni for a leaner protein source.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your homemade Domino’s pizza immediately for the best flavor and texture. Consider serving with a side salad for a complete and balanced meal. A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sophistication. For a personalized touch, let each family member create their own mini pizzas!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overworking the dough: Overkneading results in a tough crust.
• Not preheating the oven: This leads to uneven baking and a soggy crust.
• Overloading the pizza with toppings: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy.
• Baking for too short or too long a time: Monitor closely to achieve perfect doneness.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Leftover pizza should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven for optimal taste. You can also freeze the leftover dough for future use. Remember to properly thaw it before using.
