CookPal

You pour hours into your recipes. But once a reader lands on your page, you have no way of knowing where they get confused, what questions they’re asking, or why they leave before they’ve finished cooking.

CookPal is the WordPress plugin that changes that – for you and for your readers.

For readers, CookPal answers their questions in real time, directly on your recipe post, first using your own expertise and knowledge from your post. If the answer isn’t in your post, recipe card or comments, it draws on general cooking knowledge so readers always get the right answer. No leaving your site for answers. Just happy readers that feel supported throughout.

For you, the blogger, CookPal tracks every question and struggle your readers have. Each month, it turns that into a plain-language report: telling you exactly which parts of your posts and recipes are causing confusion, question patterns and recommendations for content improvements.

Now that CookPal works directly with WP Recipe Maker, your readers can get instant support where they need it the most: in the recipe card, while cooking. Give it a try by clicking the blue “Get Instant Help” button in the recipe card below!

Ingredients
 
 

Pizza Dough
  • 1 cup water lukewarm
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast 1 packet
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more for the bowl
Pizza Toppings
  • ½ cup tomato sauce or your favorite pizza sauce
  • 8 oz mozzarella low-moisture, shredded
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ green pepper sliced
  • ½ red pepper sliced
  • 1 tsp rosemary fresh, finely chopped

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Stir the water, yeast and sugar together in a large bowl. Rest for 5 minutes, until the mixture looks foamy.
    1 cup water, 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp sugar
  2. In a second bowl, mix the flour and salt.
    2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp salt
  3. Add the flour mixture and the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured counter for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and springs back when you press it.
    2 tbsp olive oil
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot, until puffy.
  5. Meanwhile, put a baking sheet upside down on the middle rack and preheat the oven to Fan Assisted Heating450 °F or Top & Bottom Heating475 °F.
  6. Divide the dough in two. Stretch each half into a 12-inch round on a sheet of parchment paper, leaving the edges a little thicker.

  7. No rolling pin? Press the dough out with your fingertips instead. It keeps more air in the crust.
  8. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough and top with the mozzarella, onion, peppers and rosemary. Slide the pizzas, still on their parchment, onto the hot baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles.

Notes

Swap the toppings for whatever vegetables you have lying around: mushrooms, zucchini, spinach or olives all work. It will probably taste just as amazing!
Short on time? Make the dough the day before and let it rise in the fridge overnight. It gets even more flavorful. Take it out 30 minutes before shaping.
