THE BEST NEW YORK STYLE PIZZA
Cooking Tools:
1. Pizza stone (critical to the pizza crust texture)
2. Pizza peel (looks like a wooden pan, important in transferring the pizza to the oven
3. Thermometer (to measure water temperature)
4. Pizza cutter
Stage 1:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
2/3 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
1 teaspoon sugar
5/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
Stage 2:
flour
cornmeal
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons pizza sauce
2/3 lb mozzarella cheese
1/4 lb Romano and Parmesan cheese
chopped basil
crushed red pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
oregano
Stage 1:
1. Mix the warm water and sugar in a small bowl until blended together.
2. Add the yeast and mix well. Then wait until the top becomes foamy (about 5-10 minutes).
3. In the meantime mix the flour, salt and olive oil in large bowl.
4. Once yeast/water mixture is ready, add it to the flour mixture and stir. Continue to mix until you get a doughy mass that is smooth and elastic. If it is still sticky, add some extra flour to it (It's okay if dough is slightly sticky).
5. Form the dough mass into a ball and place in an oiled bowl (you can use oil or a cooking spray). Roll the ball in the bowl so that it is covered in oil. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and place in a warm place; let rise for at least an hour. (I run my clothes dryer for a minute then stop it and put the bowl inside).
6. If you are planning on cooking the pizza immediately, preheat the oven to 475°F and place the pizza stone inside the oven on the lowest rack. The stone should be heated in the oven for around an hour before placing the pizza. This way, your dough and your pizza stone will be ready around the same time.
Stage 2:
1. Place dough ball on a flat (clean) floured surface.
2. Punch it down and work into a circular disc. At this point the dough should be smooth and elastic and easy to work with. If not, add a pinch full of flour and rub it on top of the dough.
3. Use your hands to spread out the dough (Don't use a rolling pin). You should work from the center and spread outwards (this ensures the center dough is thinner and keeps a thicker crust). You can also stretch the dough out by holding it on top of both fists and spreading them apart slowly.
Occasionally, flip the dough over and sprinkle a little flour on to make sure dough is not sticky. Continue to work dough until you have circular disc about 12"-14" in diameter.
4. Be sure when you have completed stretching out the dough that there are no parts of the dough that are sticky, as this will make transferring the pizza to the oven difficult.
Once ready, transfer dough to a pizza peel. The peel should be lightly covered in flour and corn meal (this will help keep the pizza from sticking to the peel).
5. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Then top with pizza sauce and cheeses.
6. Now add the spices over the cheese. Just add enough to lightly coat the surface with a single pass. You can add any toppings that you prefer to the pizza.
7. The pizza is now ready to be cooked. If you had your oven prepared with the pizza stone at 475°F for an hour, you are ready to go.
Using the pizza peel, slide the pizza on top of the stone. This can be tricky. Have the peel inside the oven at about a 20 degree angle. Then push the peel forward and jerk backwards. The pizza should slide right in like this.
8. Cook for 14 minutes and then remove only the pizza (use a pair of spatulas to remove the pizza). Let the stone remain in the oven and allow it to cool inside the oven.
9. Let the pizza cool for about 7 minutes before serving. Use a pizza cutter and make 8 slices.
Serves 2-4 people.
Roll up the flour. Put mozzrela cheese on the top. Pepperoni. n there you go, you got yourself a pizza.
My husband makes awesome homemade pizza, in my opinion. We use a thin store bought crust. We cook sausage and hamburger together and drain. We then add Ragu Robusto roasted garlic spaghetti sauce. We find pizza sauce too plain. Mix the sauce in with the meat. Spread meat sauce mixture on pizza crust, add pepperoni and anything else you want. Top with shredded mozzarella and sprinkle garlic powder on top of the cheese. Not garlic salt. Bake till cheese is melted and golden. Let sit for about 2 minutes before cutting. Enjoy. We love it and hope you do too.

Looks like you have a very good recipe to follow there.
I'd recommend looking at your ingredients if you're having problems with flavour.
You could always ring up your fave pizza place and ask them about what kind of cheese is on the pizza etc to get an idea of what you should use.
Otherwise surf the net for pizza recipes, see whats popular and what kind of cheeses and sauces people use.
this is what i am making for dinner tonight --
Using a bought pizza base (thin crust) cover with tomato paste that has basil or something in it the cover that with a thin layer or grated normal cheese. Then using what ever toppings you like - i use salami, ham (shredded), thinly sliced capsicum red or green, olives, sliced mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, then cover topping with mozzerela cheese.
Bake at about 180 degrees until cheese is golden and base looks crusty (i usually start at 180 then turn it up to 200 about 5 mins before ready)
Yum!!
