Sunnys Avenue J Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the Alfredo sauce in a pot over medium-low heat and let it come to a simmer. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted; turn off the heat.
• On each toasted muffin half, spread 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, a portion of the chicken and some mozzarella. Bake on a baking sheet until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Add just enough pizza sauce to the baking dish to coat the bottom. Begin to layer with half the pasta (uncooked), half of the remaining sauce, half of the mozzarella, half of the Cheddar blend, a pinch of Italian seasoning and some red chile flakes and black pepper. Repeat the layers a second time.
• Press the layers down to level and add 1/2 cup water to the dish along the sides (to not mess up the top). Top with the pepperoni. Sprinkle over some red chile flakes and another pinch of Italian seasoning and black pepper.
• Bake until the edges are bubbling and the pepperoni is beginning to curl on the edges, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove and immediately top with the Pecorino-Romano and hand-ripped basil. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the mushrooms in a saucepan with the white wine vinegar and cook until theyre just about tender and drain the vinegar out.
• Slice the bread to create 2 pizzas and put them crust side up on an oiled baking sheet.
• In a bowl, squeeze the tomatoes and break them up by hand then place on the pizza halves.
• Pull the pieces of buffalo mozzarella from the ball and place on the pizzas.
• Top with the mushrooms, shredded mozarella, garlic and pepperoni.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and crust is crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh basil and parmesan.

Steps:

• In a slow cooker on low, add the onions, 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every hour or so, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 hours. Cook uncovered for the last hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll the dough out to fit an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet or a large round pizza pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and pierce the dough with a fork all over to minimize bubbles. Bake the dough, checking every few minutes to ensure it doesn't burn, until lightly golden in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
• In a medium bowl combine the Monterey Jack and Parmesan. Add half of the cheese mixture to the mashed potatoes.
• Top the dough in an even layer with the mashed potato mixture. Add the caramelized onions, bacon, chile flakes and the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with a drizzle of the yogurt and sprinkle with the chives.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Arrange the slices of Texas toast in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes.
• Mix the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinara, wing sauce and honey.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, chiles, blue cheese and wing sauce.
• Build the pizzas. Top each toast with some of the sauce, then the chicken mixture and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
• Return the pizzas to the oven and bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 8 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of ranch dressing (and a cold beer, if you like).

Steps:

• To roast the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Season the tomatoes with oregano, salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle with oil and arrange them on a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Roast until then are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F when the tomatoes are roasted. Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto a clean cutting board. Prick the dough evenly, multiple times, with a fork. Using a 2-inch pastry cutter, cut out 12 circles and arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the second sheet of pastry. Bake until they are nicely puffed and golden, about 8 minutes.
• To assemble: Cut the puffs in half. Spoon a generous teaspoon of marinara sauce into the bottom of half of the puffs and sprinkle with Parmesan. Put a roasted tomato on top of each followed by the basil and a sprinkling of the mozzarella. Top with the other puff pastry halves and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for another 5 minutes, giving the cheese time to melt. Transfer the bites to a serving platter and serve warm.

Steps:

• Put a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• For the crust: Using some flour, roll out the pizza dough to a large circle about 1/4 inch thick; dock with a fork all around. Transfer to the pizza stone and cook until the crust is light golden brown and slightly rigid, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven off.
• For the white side: While the crust is baking, fold together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
• For the black side: In a medium bowl, toss together the milk chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips and pecans.
• Leaving a rim around the crust, spread one half of the crust with the cream cheese mixture and top with the marshmallows. Sprinkle the other half with the chocolate mixture (again, leaving a rim of crust). Brush the melted butter on the rim and sprinkle just the rim with the cinnamon sugar.
• Put the pizza back in the warm oven. Cook until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the entire pizza. Slice and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the dough: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour, yogurt and seasoning blend and mix until combined and tacky. Scrape off the dough from the paddle and replace the paddle with the kneading (dough hook) attachment. Sprinkle in a bit more flour and knead on medium until a ball forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a big thin circle or divide the dough in half to make 2 pizzas.
• For the toppings: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the dough, top the pizza evenly with the sauce and cheese, then the selected toppings. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Crust: Mix until thoroughly combined - Dough will be very stiff. makes enough for two (2) 12" pizza pies. The dough is ready to use "as-is" No need to rise or kneed. Divide the dough in half, shape into a round ball and roll out paper thin.
• In order to move the crusts around a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal works well.
• After the crust, it's the sauce that begins the first real steps towards forming the total Imo's pizza experience. Imos uses a tomato sauce mixture that has a sweet taste, but it's not so overly sweet to hide the rich tomato flavor or spices.
• Sauce:Combine together and it's ready to use - do not pre-cook the sauce! This Makes enough sauce for about four (4) 12" pizza pies, so that should give you some idea of how much to use on each pizza.
• On top of the sweet sauce Imo's uses Provel Cheese, which is simply a blend of Cheddar, Swiss and Provolone cheeses with some liquid smoke flavoring. If you can't find Provel in your local market, it can be easily created.
• Cheese:Toss until cheeses and smoke flavoring are completely incorporated. Typically it's enough cheese for two (2) 12" pizza pies, but if you like extra-cheese you'll want to make more.
• Authentic Imo's pizza toppings include: Extra-Cheese, Onion, Green Pepper, Sausage, Hamburger, Pepperoni, Anchovy, Bacon, Black Olive, Mushroom, Canadian Bacon, Jalapenos, Pineapple, Banana Peppers, and Tomatoes.
• In a professional pizza oven the meat toppings (Hamburger, Sausage, Bacon, etc.) can usually be put on raw, but at home you'll want to fully precook the meat before assembling the pizza.
• Now you have the correct style crust, sweet sauce, smoky cheese, generous toppings, it's now ready to be lightly sprinkled with some Italian seasonings.
• Seasonings: Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and blend well.
• While in the restaurant the pizza is baked in a pizza pan, at home you'll have the best results using a pizza stone and an oven temperature around 450 degrees. If you don't have a pizza stone, use the thinnest baking sheet you have and the lowest over rack position. The pizza is done when the underside of the crust is a dark golden brown, and the cheese is has a slight golden tint to it. Underbaking the crust will result in a limp crust, overbaking will result in a hard, tough, burnt-tasting crust, getting the right baking time to produce a crisp crust will require a bit of experimentation. The amount and type of toppings you use will also affect the total baking time. A rule-of-thumb is to check the pizza after about 10-12 minutes and adjust baking time from there accordingly.
• And, as a final touch to truly replicate Imo's Pizza at home, is to cut the pizza into tile-like squares instead of the traditional triangle slices.

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.
