Ciao Bella Potato Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and season with the dried oregano and a good pinch of salt. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat with your fingers. Roast for about 1 hour. (I went 1 hour and 10 minutes, just for extra browning.)
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and switch the oven to broil.
• Sprinkle the grated cheese over the potatoes and arrange the pepperoni in a single layer over the cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes; don't take your eyes off it (see Cook's Note)! This happens fast, and all we want is browning and bubbling, and for the pepperonis to crisp and curl. Serve immediately with pizza sauce and a sprinkle of parsley or chives!

Steps:

• Preheat grill on high. Oil grill grates with olive oil.
• In a small saucepan heat olive oil and Italian seasoning until just bubbling. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Sprinkle a small amount of corn meal out and roll out pizza dough to desired thickness.
• Brush seasoned oil on dough.
• Place on prepared grill grates. Cook on high for 5-7 minutes or until golden and slightly charred. Flip dough over and cook an additional 3-5 minutes
• Flip dough back over and evenly sprinkle cheese. Then layer with tomatoes and basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Close grill lid and allow cheese to melt for about 1 minute.
• Remove from grill, slice and serve.

Steps:

• Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Combine potatoes, broth, and garlic in a large saucepan. Add additional water if necessary in order to keep all potatoes completely submerged. Bring to boil than reduce heat to low. Continue to cook until potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Drain and mash the potatoes and garlic. Add butter, salt, pepper, and whipping cream. Whip until it has a creamy texture.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a pizza stone.
• Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick circle. Place in a pizza pan or on a pizza peel. Spread on the garlic mashed potatoes. Evenly sprinkle the sauteed onions. Layer the sliced tomatoes. Evenly sprinkle the cheeses, bacon crumbles, cracked black pepper, and onion salt. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Combine flour, salt, and yeast and mix well in a large bowl (12 quart will work fine). Mix in the oil and warm water. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the dough: In a medium bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar and salt, and whisk. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose and whole wheat flours. Make a hole in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture. Slowly hand mix the flour until all the liquid is absorbed. If too wet, add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle a clean work station with flour and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Coat a large ceramic bowl with the remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the ceramic bowl, and flip over to coat in the oil. Cover the top of the dough with plastic wrap and cover the bowl with a dish towel. Let rise until the dough has doubled in size, 2 hours. Punch down the dough and let rise for another hour.
• For the toppings: Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes and onion. Roughly chop the rosemary leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Grease the pizza pan with the leaf lard.
• Mold the dough into the shape of the pan. Brush with some olive oil. Place the pizza on the bottom oven rack for 5 minutes, to pre-crisp the crust. Add two layers of the potatoes in a scallop style. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with some olive oil.
• Sprinkle with the rosemary and drizzle with more olive oil. Place on the middle oven rack and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Immediately remove the pizza from the pan and cut into rectangles.
