Instructions
Homemade Pizza dough instructions:
In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add all ingredients except water and mix to combine.
Add the water and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes. The dough should be tacky and spring back when touched.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover and allow to proof for about 45 minutes.
When ready to prepare the pizza, divide in half and shape.
NOTE: The dough can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Once proofed shape into a round ball and store in an air-tight container.
For the Polynesian sauce:
In a saucepan, bring all of the ingredients to a simmer– EXCEPT for the corn starch.
Gently simmer for 5 minutes.
NOTE: I strongly recommend that the cornstarch is sifted into the sauce, or you'll end up with clumps!Whisk HALF of the cornstarch until any lumps are smoothed out. If the sauce isn't thick enough to be a spreadable consistency, add the remaining half of the cornstarch.
The sauce can be made several days in advance, and stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
For the toppings:
Add the vegetables into a bowl and add 2 Tsp vegetable or olive oil. Coat the vegetables evenly.
To assemble the pizza:
Form the pizza balls into a 9" or 12" shape. Brush the dough with an even layer of the sauce.
Add the toppings and cheese.
Bake at 450℉ for 10-15 minutes or until desired "doneness". The crust should be golden brown and the cheese melted.NOTE: Our outdoor electric pizza oven heats up to 500℉, which is ideal.
Garnish with the green onion.
