Dads Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine butter, eggs, grated Parmesan, salt, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down; let rest for 5 minutes. Grease a 12-in. deep-dish cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof skillet; sprinkle with cornmeal. Press dough into pan; build up edges slightly., Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook beef, sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up meat into crumbles, 8-10 minutes; drain. Spread pizza sauce over dough to within 1 in. of edges; sprinkle with meat mixture. Top with the mushrooms, pepperoni, ham, olives, mozzarella and shredded Parmesan., Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic in the butter mixture until the onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir tomato sauce and tomato paste into the onion mixture until smooth; add Parmesan cheese, fennel seeds, basil, oregano, salt, sugar, pepper, and bay leaf. Stir the sauce and bring to a slow simmer; cook at a slow simmer for 1 hour. Remove and discard bay leaf before use.

Steps:

• Dough: In food processor, mix the beer, warm water, flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and 1 teaspoon oil until dough starts to form and gather into a ball, about 30 seconds. The dough will be sticky. (Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if dough isn't balling up.)
• Grease a medium bowl. Shape dough into a ball and transfer it to the bowl.
• Cover and rise in a warm spot until it has risen slightly, about 1 hour. (Depending on the temperature, it probably won't double in size - but it should be slightly puffier.)
• Pizza: Whisk together pizza sauce, tomato paste, barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and Greek seasoning; set aside.
• Set one rack to lower and one rack to upper oven. Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Grease bottom of 3.5 litre braiser or 9-inch oven-proof skillet with 3 tablespoons of oil.
• Turn proofed dough into skillet. Oil fingers; shape and stretch dough to fit bottom of pan, forming a slight lip around the edge.
• Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough. Top in this order; mushrooms, 2 layers of pepperoni, 3 layers of ham, 2 layers of salami, onion, green pepper, and mozzarella.
• Bake on lower rack until crust is golden brown, about 10 to 14 minutes. Broil on upper rack until cheese is melted and golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. (Keep your eye on it while broiling so it doesn't overbake.)
• Let pizza rest in pan for 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Cut into 16 squares/pieces.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x12-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until the bacon is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
• Open up the cans of biscuits, separate the biscuits, and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet so they touch. Press the biscuit dough down to seal them together into a crust that covers the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is slightly cooked and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Do not overbake. Remove from oven.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the foam disappears. Beat the eggs in a bowl, and pour the eggs into the hot skillet. Use a spatula to lift and gently stir the eggs just until set, but still moist, 3 to 4 minutes. Arrange the lightly scrambled eggs on the semi-baked biscuit crust. Top with the cooked bacon, onion, and green pepper; spread the Cheddar cheese all over the pizza. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Return to oven, and bake on the top rack until the cheese is melted and bubbling and has begun to brown, about 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Add warm water and olive oil; stir with a wooden spoon to combine well.
• Cover with a clean dishtowel and/or set in a warm place to let rise about 20 minutes.
• When risen, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Flour your hands and the dough before kneading a couple of times.
• With a pizza cutter, divide the dough into three pieces; set two pieces aside.
• Knead one pie again before shaping into a small, flat circle. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin, being careful to retain a circle shape (if the dough starts sticking, try flouring the rolling pin as well).
• Carefully place the dough in a 12-inch pizza pan, trimming with a pizza cutter if needed.
• Repeat steps 5-6 for the other two pieces of dough.
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Spread evenly on each pizza with the back of a spoon.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese on each pizza, along with any desired toppings.
• Bake each pizza at 425 degrees F until the cheese starts to brown on the edges.
• Let cool a bit before slicing and serving.
• Try using any leftover ingredients to make a miniature pizza.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 cup of warm water. Let the mixture stand until the yeast begins to bubble and form a layer of creamy foam on top, about 15 minutes. Stir in 2 more cups of warm water, olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, garlic powder, and about 2 cups of flour. Mix together to form a loose batter, and begin beating in flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is slightly sticky but not wet, about 3 more cups.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, place into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until double, about 30 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, and stir in the oregano. Let the oregano fry in the butter for a few seconds, then whisk in the ricotta cheese until the mixture makes a smooth paste. Whisk in the tomato puree, onion powder, 1 pinch garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon sugar until the sauce is smooth. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring occasionally, cover, and remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat 3 12-inch pizza pans with about 1/2 teaspoon olive oil apiece.
• Place the sausage into a skillet over medium heat and sprinkle with 1 pinch dried oregano and 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Brown the sausage, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks, until the sausage is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Set the sausage aside.
• Place the dough on a floured surface, punch down the dough, and cut it into 3 equal pieces. Roll a dough piece out to the size of a prepared pizza pan, and place the dough on the pan. Stretch the edges of the dough a little beyond the pan, and fold the excess dough over to make a thicker edge. Press the folded dough together to seal. Repeat for the other 2 crusts.
• Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then remove from oven and brush each crust with about 1/2 teaspoon melted butter (see Notes for details).
• Using a large spoon, spread a layer of sauce over each crust. Sprinkle with pizza cheese blend, dot pieces of browned sausage evenly over the cheese, spread pepperoni slices over the pizzas, and sprinkle each pizza with about 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper. Shake 1 or more dashes of hot sauce over each pizza. Return the pizzas to the oven, and bake until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 more minutes.
