Here are three pizza recipes plus a bread-machine dough
recipe with seasonings added for each kind of pizza. The
pizzas are "loaded" with goodies; I make them for dinner.
Each makes a 13-inch pizza. I use a stone and prebake the
crust lightly so the assembled pizza can be handled easily.
Pizza with The Works
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1 lb or more pizza dough, preferably home-made
bread-machine dough made with Seasonings 1
(see recipe)
Olive oil for brushing crust
One-half of 14-oz jar of thick spaghetti sauce
1 tomato or 3 plum tomatoes, sliced thin or
chopped coarsely
1 medium onion, sliced thin
4 to 5 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 green bell pepper, sliced in 1 to 2-inch
long strips
1/8 lb ham sliced thin in 1 to 1-1/2 inch squares
or triangles (optional)
10 to 12 large or 15 small pitted black
olives, halved
1/8 lb pizza-size pepperoni
1/4 lb bulk Italian sausage
1/2 lb shredded cheese, mozzarella plus other
cheese (provolone, havarti, muenster, gruyere)
Corn meal
Fry sausage in chunks. Don't brown (fry lightly). Drain
off fat. Let cool. Preheat pizza stone to 450 F. Grease
pizza pan lightly.
Stretch out dough starting at the edge to less than size of
pizza pan. Try to keep most of the dough in the middle, not
out at the edge. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, covered.
Stretch dough to fit pan. Pinch up rim. Let rise for 15 to
20 minutes.
Put fork holes all over dough. Bake dough 5 to 9 minutes
(watch top) until off-white or light tan. Be sure that
crust bakes enough or it will fall and be "doughy."
Puncture with fork or flatten with spatula if it "blows up."
Sprinkle wooden peel with corn meal.
Turn oven down to 400 F. Move crust to peel. Wipe off pan
with paper towel and put it in oven, below the stone. Brush
crust lightly with olive oil. Spread pizza sauce on crust,
then rest of ingredients in order shown. Reserve most of
cheese.
Slide pizza onto stone. Bake for 15 minutes. Spread rest
of cheese on pizza and bake for 5 minutes more, a total of
20 minutes. Move to pan for slicing. Let sit for 5 to 10
minutes before slicing.
White Pizza with Chicken and Cheese
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Olive oil (about 3 Tbsp)
1 lb pizza dough (preferably bread-machine dough
with Seasonings 2 -- see recipe)
2 boneless chicken half-breasts (10 to 14 oz)
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup (5 to 6) fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp basil
1 cup (4 oz) cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup (4 oz) swiss cheese, shredded
Slice chicken breasts thinly. Mix two types of shredded
cheese together. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil skillet. Saute
chicken, onions and garlic until chicken is cooked through.
Add mushrooms, basil, salt and pepper, and cook another
minute or two.
Follow instructions for Pizza with the Works for baking.
Can also add bok choy, sweet pepper.
