Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, flour, salt, oregano, a few turns of pepper, the chopped green pepper and 1 of the eggs in a large bowl.
• On a work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll the puff pastry out to 10-by-15 inches. If it gets sticky, dust with more flour. Cut the pastry into 6 squares and transfer to the lined baking sheet. Place a dollop of the cheese mixture into one of the corners of each square, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Create a well in the center of the cheese mixture and add a spoonful of sauce. Sprinkle with the mini pepperoni and any additional desired toppings. Beat the remaining egg with a splash of water in a bowl to make an egg wash and brush the edges of the pastry with it. Fold the pastry over and press to seal well, using a fork to pinch the edges. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes. (It's alright if some of them break open at the seams while baking; it's part of their rustic charm.) Let cool slightly, then serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dunking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and are great cold the next morning for breakfast! You can also prepare a whole batch a day or two in advance, store them in the fridge, and reheat them for a few minutes in a 325 degree F oven before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease 3 large rimmed baking sheets. Place one dough ball in each baking sheet, and stretch and press the dough to fit into the pan.
• For the BBQ Chicken Pizza: Toss 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce with the chicken. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce over one pizza dough. Top with the chicken, red onion, cilantro and cheese.
• For the Pepperoni Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over another pizza dough. Top with pepperoni and cheese.
• For the Veggie Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over the third pizza dough. Top with mushrooms, both bell peppers, spinach and cheese.
• Bake all of the pizzas until the crusts are browned and crispy and the cheese is melted, rotating the pans as needed to cook the pizzas evenly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the pizzas stand 5 minutes before cutting. Drizzle the BBQ Chicken Pizza with additional barbecue sauce and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Sprinkle the Pepperoni Pizza with fresh basil.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the sausage to the pot and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook, scraping up the browned bits, until the vegetables soften, about 4 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked mushrooms, ham, olives and about 3/4 cup pepperoni; season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush an 8-inch round springform pan with olive oil and line with foil, leaving an overhang. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs; drain and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Combine 2 cups mozzarella, the ricotta, parmesan and eggs in a bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Wrap some lasagna noodles around the inside of the pan, overlapping slightly and trimming as needed. Cover the bottom of the pan with more noodles, overlapping slightly and letting them extend up the side of the pan. Spread 2 cups sauce in the pan and top with half of the ricotta mixture; cover with a layer of noodles. Repeat with 2 more cups sauce, the remaining ricotta mixture and another layer of noodles, letting them extend up the side of the pan (you might not use all the noodles). Top with the remaining sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup pepperoni.
• Bake until browned and bubbling, about 1 hour (tent with foil if the top is browning too quickly). Let stand 30 minutes to 1 hour, then lift out of the pan using the foil. Remove the foil and slice.

Steps:

• Layer the pepperoni on the dough. Then lay the cheese cubes all over, especially around the perimeter up to the edge of the pan (this creates the coveted crispy cheese crust). Dollop the pizza sauce on top in 3 lines.
• Bake in the ultra-hot oven until bubbly and golden and a crispy cheese crust has formed, 10 to 15 minutes. Using a fish spatula, loosen up the edges and place on a cutting board. Slice into squares and serve!
• Put the flour, salt, yeast and sugar in a food processor with a metal blade attachment and pulse to combine. Add 1 cup warm water, then process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds (if a ball does not form, add a bit more flour). Process for another 30 seconds, then roll into a tight ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Proof in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 2 hours.
• Heat a small saucepot over medium heat and add the oil. Add the Italian seasoning and garlic and saute until fragrant; do not let the garlic burn. Add the tomatoes and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer until concentrated, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
