Weed Pizza Recipe: Homemade Dough, Cannabutter and 6 Topping Ideas

Weed pizza is a homemade pizza with cannabutter (butter infused with decarbed cannabis) brushed onto the dough before the toppings go on. You need a basic pizza dough, about 7-10 g (roughly a quarter ounce) of buds turned into cannabutter, and the patience to eat one slice and wait before grabbing a second. Here's the full recipe, six topping ideas and a few sweet extras.

Homemade Pizza Dough: Start With a Solid Base

Every good pizza starts with the crust. Making your own dough is easy and weirdly satisfying. Here's the homemade dough recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the yeast and sugar. Let it sit a few minutes until it starts to foam.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil and stir until a dough comes together.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it's smooth and stretchy.
4. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel and let it rise somewhere warm for about an hour, until it doubles in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F).
6. Stretch the dough out on a floured surface into whatever shape you want.
7. Move the dough to a baking sheet and get ready for toppings.

The Secret Ingredient: Cannabutter

Now for the part that makes this pizza special: the weed. We're using cannabutter, which is just butter infused with cannabis. Here's how to make it:

Cannabutter Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 7-10 grams (about 1/4 to 1/3 oz) of cannabis buds
• Water

Instructions:

1. Break the buds up into small pieces with a grinder. Pro tip: decarb them first (around 110-120 °C / 230-250 °F for 30-40 minutes), or a lot of the THC never activates.
2. Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then turn the heat down to medium-low.
3. Add the butter to the pot and let it melt completely.
4. Stir the ground cannabis into the melted butter.
5. Let it simmer gently for at least 2-3 hours, stirring now and then. Don't let it boil.
6. When it's done, strain the butter through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the plant material.

Putting Your Weed Pizza Together

With your homemade dough and cannabutter ready, it's time to build the pizza. Follow these steps:

1. Spread the dough out on the baking sheet and brush a thin layer of cannabutter over it.
2. Add your favorite toppings: tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, veggies, whatever you're into.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
4. Done! Enjoy your weed pizza carefully, and share it with friends if you feel like it.
