Good Morning! I'm Pizza MacGyver (aka Jon). I created a blog over a year ago, got busy with life, and now find myself wanting to perhaps resurrect this concept I created. Let me know your thoughts - I'll bring it back to life if there's enough interest!
Pizza. It’s something you love and a dish that if you ended up having it for dinner for the rest of your life, you’d be just fine with that. When was the last time you made it for yourself at home though? “It’s too time-consuming,” you think to yourself. Or maybe, “I don’t have the ingredients.” Both thoughts are 100 percent false. You have the makings of a tasty pizza right now in your fridge and you don’t even know it!
When you’re a pizza MacGyver like me, and like pizza as much as I do (and I like pizza better than most things in life), you can make a pizza appear out of almost thin air.
Sure, over the years I’ve taken some things to the next level of pizza-obsessed madness --- like making my own pepperoni from scratch or spending hours smoking a pork butt just to use on a barbecue-style pizza. At the end of the day though, if there is some combination of dough-based carrying device (English muffin pizzas, what?!?), sauce, and cheese it is all good.
Pizza can be as simple or complex as you want to make it, and I am the person to show you the way to satisfying your need for cheesy, saucy, meaty (or veggie) goodness. Plus, since you’re making it yourself, you know exactly what goes into the final product.
OK, so maybe you want to learn or sharpen a few of your pizza-making skills along our journey. No matter what you have a taste for or what you have available on-hand at home, I’ll show you many different ways to your own personal pan pizza nirvana.
It starts with the dough, or bread, or the thing that will carry cheese and toppings from your hand to your face. I’ll teach you a number of different scratch-made dough styles or things you can use when you don’t have the time or ingredients to make your own. You’ll see how creative you can be.
Sauce. It really carries a lot of the flavor you want in your pizza. Again, you can be as simple or complex with your sauce and there are tons of awesome options.
The toppings and cheese are really where you get to make a pizza an original, and you are in complete control of what goes on or what doesn’t. Make it a veggie, make it with tons of meat, or nothing but cheese – let your mood and taste buds show you the way. Take it easy or take it to the next level with homemade toppings. You can even use up some leftovers in your fridge or pantry to get your pizza fix.
I’ve made pizzas in ovens, on the grill, on a stovetop, in a toaster oven, and even over campfires. You don’t need fancy tools or equipment to make good pizza. However, when you join me on the path to being a “pizza MacGyver” in your own home or own backyard I’ll teach you all the tricks I know.

Just a tip, check out my post 'Do over' from last week, you'll notice what looks like a ransom photo, it includes the day your joining and your face, so that people can identify you are authentic. I know it seems odd and contrived, but it will help attract positive attention. Best of luck. Can't wait to find out your dough recipe 😀
Thanks for the advice! Just getting started and will have photo of myself up shortly. I have a few great dough recipes that I'll be sharing.
Also, please check out my One Minute Easy Pizza Sauce Recipe. Try it once and you'll never use another pizza sauce on your pizza.

followed! i'm sure your pizza posts are going to make me super hungry lol
Thanks for the follow! Followed you back. Yes, you will be hungry, but hopefully I'll inspire you to make some pizza. It's really easy.
tried making my own dough 1 time and failed miserably lol
I didn't want to "upvote" your comment lol - but it takes making pizza dough a few times to really get the hang of it. You have nothing to lose by practicing, only more pizza to gain!
i believe it, i expect i'll give it another go sometime because i do love some pizza!
I'll get a good tutorial on pizza dough up on Steemit soon. I'm sure it'll help.
@doitvoluntarily - if you haven't yet, please check out my super easy pizza sauce recipe. You can even use this as a pasta sauce.
