Green Onion Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add active yeast, lukewarm water and honey. Stir and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile in a medium bowl, add 2 ½ cups of flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil and ground sea salt; whisk until well blended. Add green onions and whisk well; set aside.
• Add oil and flour mixture to the yeast. With the dough hook attachment on, process on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
• Increase to speed 3 and continue mixing by adding 1 tablespoon at a time of the reserved ½ cup of flour. Keep adding until the dough clings to the hook, cleaning the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to 4 and kneed for 4 minutes.
• Grease hands with oil and form a ball by pulling the dough under. Place it in a large bowl lightly greased and rotate the dough around to coat it with oil. Cover with a clean dish towel and transfer to a draft-free area such as an oven with the heat off. Let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in volume.
• Punch the dough to deflate it, form a ball again by folding it under, place it back in the bowl, cover with the dish towel, and return it to its draft-free spot for another rise of an hour.
• When time is up, punch it again and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Form a ball by pulling under and divide the dough into 2 equal pieces.
• Form a ball with each piece and working with one at a time, dust with flour and roll it out into a 12-inch diameter with a floured rolling pin. If it's a little sticky, lightly sprinkle on more flour.
• Transfer each rolled dough onto a pizza pan dusted with corn meal, stretch it and push it out to form a ridge around the edge and proceed with your recipe.

Steps:

• In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the water and oil and mix to combine (you may have to get in there with a spatula to help everything incorporate). Turn the mixer to medium-high and knead the dough until it is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl without sticking, adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time if needed, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Coat a large bowl with oil and transfer the dough to the bowl. Toss a few times to coat the dough. Cover and let sit at room temperature until it has doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Once the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Liberally coat two 10-inch cake pans with the softened butter. Divide the dough into two balls and place each one in a pan. Cover loosely and let sit for about 20 minutes while the oven preheats and you prepare the other toppings.
• Place the tomatoes in a strainer and sprinkle on a couple good pinches of salt; let drain for 10 minutes. Flatten out the dough all over the bottoms of the pans and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Top with cheese slices, overlapping them. Tear the sausage into golf ball-size pieces, then press on top of the cheese and flatten, leaving little holes for the cheese to poke through. Top with the tomatoes, peppers and onions. Sprinkle over the Pecorino-Romano and oregano.
• Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, the cheese on top is turning golden and the sauce has begun to bubble, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, preferably with a pizza stone inside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until they begin to sizzle and soften, about three minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic, bay leaf, thyme and pepper. Stir everything together, turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes, stirring often. The onions should melt down to a golden brown puree. If they begin to stick, add a few tablespoons of water. Stir in the capers, then taste and adjust seasonings. If there is liquid in the pan, cook over medium heat, uncovered, until it evaporates.
• Roll out the pizza dough and line a 12- to 14-inch pan. Brush the remaining tablespoon of oil over the bottom but not the rim of the crust. Spread the onions over the crust in an even layer. Cut the anchovies in half, and decorate the top of the crust with them, making twelve small X's and placing an olive in the middle of each X. Place on top of the pizza stone, and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges of the crust are brown and the onions are beginning to brown. Remove from the heat. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
