Personal Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare both packages of pizza dough according to directions. On a floured surface, knead dough several times; divide into six portions. Roll each into an 8-in. circle. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. , Spread pizza sauce over crusts to within 1/2 in. of edge. Top with beef, onion, green pepper, olives and cheese. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of each pita round with a liberal coating of olive oil and place all 4 rounds onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese in an even layer on each pita. Place a single layer of tomato slices on top of the cheese and sprinkle garlic salt over top of each.
• Bake until the bottoms are golden brown and the pitas are crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with fresh basil.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until creamy (about 10 minutes).
• Stir in olive oil, whole wheat flour, salt and 4 cups of white flour into yeast mixture.
• Mix in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
• When dough has pulled together, put onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (about 4 minutes).
• Lightly oil another large mixing bowl, place dough in bowl and turn to coat.
• Cover with damp cloth and put in warm place until dough has doubled in size (about 1 hour).
• Deflate the dough and put onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 3 equal parts and form into rounds. Cover rounds and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into desired shape. Cover dough with your favorite toppings and bake for about 20 minutes or until crust and cheese are golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a mini frying pan over low heat.
• Place the pizza dough in the pan and let brown, 3-5 minutes.
• Flip the dough and use a spatula to press the dough against the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
• Spread marinara sauce in the center of the dough and top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
• Cook for 10 minutes, until the dough is crispy and cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water, set aside and let sit for 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl mix flour and salt.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy wooden spoon.
• Turn out onto a floured surface, knead being careful to not add too much additional flour.
• After the dough starts to really pull together work in enough olive oil to get a good elastic dough that is easy to work.
• Work in the garlic, herbs and red pepper.
• Knead for about 2 minutes more.
• Divide into four equal parts, using a rolling pin to roll out into 6-7" circles, leave an edge or a crust around the edges so your toppings won't slide off.
• Sprinkle a pizza pan with cornmeal, place 2 pizza dough rounds on the pan and bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes.
• Repeat with other 2 rounds.
• Allow to cool on the counter, for about 10 minutes.
• Top with pizza sauce and cheese. Ending with the herbs and pepper on the very top.
• Place on cardboard rounds and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
• To bake after freezing, bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and preheat a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl combine the ricotta, Parmesan, chopped rosemary, red pepper flakes and garlic; season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and set aside.
• Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal rounds (each round should be 4 ounces and about 3-inches in diameter). Divide each round into 2 circles, one 2-inches wide (for the body) and the other 1-inch wide (for the head). On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball of dough out to 1/4-inch thick. (If a ball of dough becomes too stiff while rolling, cover it with plastic wrap and allow it to rest while working on the other balls of dough. After 4 or 5 minutes it will become more flexible, stretchier and easier to roll.)
• Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place two large circles of dough on each piece of parchment, and overlap each large circle with a smaller circle of dough to form heads. Brush the dough with the olive oil and pierce the dough with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming, then bake until the crust begins to brown and is almost completely cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove the pizzas from the oven and spread the ricotta mixture on top of the snowmen leaving a 1/4-inch border, then top with the torn mozzarella. Cut the orange pepper into four elongated triangles (about 2-inches long) to form noses; place each on a snowman face. Use 2 olive slices on each face for eyes, 5 olive slices for a smile and 3 olive slices for buttons.
• Slide a pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and continue baking until the cheese has just melted, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board; place a sprig of rosemary by each snowman's right hand to form a broom. Repeat with the remaining snowmen. Serve while hot.
