About the Recipe
Making homemade cannabis infused pizzas is a great way of tapping into my creative side. I love experimenting with different toppings and sauces, because pizza is much more than just simply marinara sauce and pepperoni!
You will need the following ingredients for making homemade cannabis infused pizzas:
- cannabis infused pizza dough*
- infused marinera sauce (or infused pesto)
- cheese of choice (e.g., mozzarella cheese, parmesan)
- toppings of choice (e.g., ham, infused hot honey, bacon bits, prosciutto, arugula, basil)
The key to making fluffy and soft weed dough, is kneading for at least 8 mins, so bring out those stand mixer or get ready for an arm work out!
For this cannabis infused pizza dough, you will need the following:
- AP Flour
- warm water
- yeast (instant or active)
- sugar
- salt
- cannabis infused olive oil
I highly recommend trying out homemade dough, trust me the few extra steps result in a wonderful chewy crust that is hard to beat. The recipe makes one 14″ circle pie or three 6″ pizza pies. You can also refrigerate for up to 2 days (If refrigerated, take it out an hour before using)
Tips & Tricks
If using active dry yeast: make sure to mix with warm water and allow to sit for 5–10 minutes, or until bubble and foamy.
Do not allow salt and yeast to interact: Either mix in the salt with the flour or add in the salt last after you’ve slightly mix together all other ingredients.
Knead the dough for at least 10 mins: The longer you knead the dough, the more gluten development you will have (aka your dough will become stronger and hold its shape better) and so i highly recommend kneading for the full 10 mins.
Allow dough to rest for easier stretching: After kneading your dough, make sure to let it rest before stretching out into final form. As the dough rest, the gluten relaxes, so if the dough is hard to work with and not holding shape, allow to rest for ~10 mins before stretching out again
For Stronger Dosage (High Tolerance): Make your own homemade cannabis infused pizza dough and add a layer of THC infused olive oil (before adding your infused marinara sauce) over top of the stretched out infused dough.
For Smaller Dosage (Low Tolerance): Swap out any of the weed infused olive oil for regular non-infused olive oil. This is one of the benefits of making your own homemade edibles, you can customize the dosing to your preference!
