Kentucky Hot Brownpizza Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, sugar, and "Rapid Rise" yeast. Add the warm water and olive oil and stir until a soft dough pulls away from sides of bowl. If dough seems too loose, sprinkle in a little more flour. If too dry, add another teaspoon of water. Oil a separate large mixing bowl, then dump the dough into it. Immediately, cover bowl tightly with Saran wrap and let rise until doubled in size. This may take 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (I put it in the barely warm oven that I had preheated to about 100° then turned it off before I started making the dough.) When dough is ready, dump it out onto a floured work surface. Sprinkle a little flour over the top to keep from sticking to your hands. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2 equal pieces. Wrap one in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for another use. Line a pizza pan (mine was the type that had holes in the bottom) with parchment paper. Transfer remaining piece of dough to the lined pizza pan and press out evenly with your hands to fit the pan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Make the Mornay Sauce: In a small, 1-quart non-stick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; add the flour and whisk and cook for 1-2 minutes. (Do not brown the roux.) Slowly, whisk in the half-and-half and cook until well thickened. Remove from heat and stir in both Parmesan cheeses, garlic salt, white pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt and black pepper to tast. Cover pot and set aside until ready to assemble the pizza. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To assemble the pizza: Preheat oven to 460° F. Spread a thin layer of the Mornay sauce over the pizza crust in the pan to within 1/2" of edges. (If sauce is too thick, whisk in 1 tsp. of milk at a time to thin.) 2. Sprinkle on a thin layer of the pizza cheese. 3. Top with chopped turkey. 4. Next, add the bacon pieces, and chopped tomatoes. 5. Top with a layer of pizza cheese. 6. Drizzle top with any remaining Mornay sauce. 7. Lastly, sprinkle a pinch of garlic salt over top. Bake pizza in center of oven for 16-18 minutes, or until crust is done and cheese is lightly browned. Let rest for a few minutes before cutting into slices with a pizza cutter and serving.

Steps:

• To prepare sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until combined. Cook about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add sour cream. Bring mixture to a slow simmer. (Do not boil.) The mixture will begin to thicken. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until smooth.
• To make pizza, preheat oven to 425°F.
• Roll pizza dough into a 14-inch round or square. Place on baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Spread Mornay sauce on dough and top with remaining ingredients in the order listed.
• Bake 7 to 11 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the bacon out on parchment lined, rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle each slice with a thin, even layer of brown sugar. Bake until the bacon is beginning to brown and crisp, but is not completely done, about 8 to 10 minutes. It will continue to cook with the hot browns. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Toast the bread in a toaster, until lightly browned. Cut each piece of toast diagonally into triangles and overlap 3 triangles into each of 4 individual oval-shaped baking dishes. Alternatively, hot browns can be assembled and baked on ovenproof dinner plates.
• Mornay Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and cook until the bubbling begins to diminish, indicating that the water in the butter is evaporating. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to form a roux, cooking and stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to let the roux brown. Add the milk all at once, and continue to stir with a wooden spoon or whisk, while bringing mixture to a simmer.
• Continue to cook until smooth and thick, using a whisk to break up any lumps that form. Turn off the heat and add the Cheddar and Swiss cheeses, stirring until melted and combined. The cheese will thicken the sauce, so additional milk may be added, if desired. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cover the toast in each baking dish with about 1/4 cup of sauce. Then top with a layer of roasted turkey. Cover the turkey with additional sauce and put 2 strips of the bacon on top in a crisscross fashion. Sprinkle each dish with about 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes.
• While the hot browns are baking, combine all the ingredients for dressed tomatoes in a medium-size bowl and toss to combine.
• During the last 2 to 3 minutes of baking, turn on the broiler to brown the tops of the hot browns. Remove from oven and serve hot, with a small dish of tomatoes on the side or piled atop the hot browns, if desired.
