Pizza Alla Pugliese Recipes

Steps:

• Put baking stone on the middle shelf of oven; preheat oven on highest setting for at least 1 hour.
• While oven is heating, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over med-high heat.
• Add in onion; saute 4-5 minutes, or until translucent.
• Season with salt; remove from heat; let cool.
• Make 1 pizza at a time unless your peel can accommodate both pizzas.
• Flour work surface and hands; shape dough ball on counter; transfer it to flour-dusted pizza peel.
• Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over the surface of dough; spread half of the sauteed onion on top; drizzle 1 tablespoons olive oil over the surface, spiraling it out from the center.
• Sprinkle the top with pepper to taste.
• Carefully slide the pizza from the peel onto the baking stone; bake 7-9 minutes.
• When it is done, the crust should be puffy and slightly charred on the edge and thinner in the center; the underside of the crust should be brown and crisp, not white and soft.
• Remove the finished pizza from the oven and serve it whole, or let if cool for about 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second pizza.

Steps:

• 1. This is basically a pizza that has been folded over and fried, well kind of... It's way better!
• 2. Take a piece of dough the size of a tennis ball and flatten it with a rolling pin into a flat and round shape on lightly floured surface. The thickness of the dough should be no more than 1/4 of an inch.
• 3. Place your favorite fillings at the center of the dough, do not over stuff. We usually start with a tablespoon of sauce with mozzarella cheese, then add what we want additionally (meats and vegetables).
• 4. Fold the dough over the filling and close it in the shape of 1/2 moon.
• 5. Press down the outer edges of the dough to completely seal the panzerotti. Make sure to seal well or the will open in frying process. Prepare all of them before starting frying process.
• 6. Fry in hot olive oil till they are golden brown (you'll have to flip sides while frying, I would use salad tongs to do this, drain on paper towels and serve when you have fried them all. Be careful not to burn your mouth, you will grown impatient and want to eat one right away!! Buon Appetito!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in water and oil until combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form into a ball. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. On parchment, roll each half into a 10-in. circle. Transfer (leaving dough on parchment) to a 12-in. pizza pan. , Preheat oven to 425°. Combine sauce ingredients; spread over pizzas. Top with pepperoni, green pepper, onion and cheese. If desired, sprinkle with additional dried basil and oregano. Bake on a low oven rack, one at a time, until bottom of crust is golden and cheese is lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cut into squares.
