Zacharys Stuffed Pizza Recipe 385

Steps:

• Add the water to a bowl. Then add the yeast a little at a time and break up the cube of yeast with your hands. Let the yeast fully dissolve in the warm water and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Add the flour on a smooth work surface and create a well in the center of the flour. Slowly add the yeast-water mixture, olive oil, and salt until the flour has absorbed the liquid. Knead the dough until the mixture becomes an even dough consistency. If necessary, add a little more flour to absorb any excess liquid.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal portions to make individual-size pizzas. Place on a lightly-floured surface or pan and cover with a cloth. Let rest for about an hour at room temperature or until the dough has doubled in size. Yield: 4 servings
• For the spinach and fontina pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stretch out the pizza dough and roll out on a lightly-floured surface. In a frying pan heat the olive oil and brown the garlic. Add the spinach and saute until just wilted. Add salt, to taste and let cool.
• Add the sauteed spinach to 1/2 the dough and top with slices of fontina cheese. Fold the dough over. Pinch the opposite ends of the dough together to seal. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
• For the escarole, anchovy, pine nut and raisin pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stretch out the pizza dough and roll out on a lightly-floured surface. In a frying pan add the olive oil, anchovies, and brown the garlic. Add the olives, pine nuts, raisins and fry together for another minute. Add the escarole and cook until wilted.
• Add the sauteed escarole onto one-half of the dough. Additional anchovies may be added. Fold over. Pinch the opposite ends together. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
• For the prosciutto cotto and scamorza pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stretch out the pizza dough and roll out on a lightly-floured surface. Place the prosciutto cotto, scamorza, and sun-dried tomatoes on1/2 the dough. Fold over. Pinch the opposite ends together to seal. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for approximately 15 minutes.

Steps:

• For the dough, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in large bowl. Let stand until bubbly, 15 minutes. Stir in oil. Stir in 4 cups flour until smooth. Stir in remaining flour as needed to make a stiff dough that's springy, not sticky. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl. Turn dough once to coat top with oil, cover with tea towel and allow to rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 20 minutes. For the tomato sauce filling, heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat and saute garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt to taste and pepper. Simmer over low heat until thick, 30 minutes. For assembly, roll 2/3 of dough on lightly floured surface to form 16-inch circle. Fit into 12- to 14-inch deep-dish pizza pan. Make sure dough is pressed against sides of pan and extends 1/4 inch over rim. Combine mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Spread mixture evenly over dough. Roll remaining 1/3 dough on lightly floured surface to form 14-inch circle. Place over filled dough. Fold bottom crust over top crust and seal. Cut off any excess dough near top rim of pan. Pour Tomato Sauce Filling over top layer of dough. Bake at 450 degrees until crust is golden, 25 to 30 minutes. This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Steps:

• Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• For the dough:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine pizza crust mixes, Italian seasoning, and hot water. Stir about 20 times until a ball forms. Split ball in half and cover each with plastic wrap; set aside.
• For the filling:
• In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and cook ground beef and sausage, stirring frequently to break up clumps. Cook until no longer pink but not totally cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mushrooms, olives, cheese and 1 cup of the marinara sauce; set aside.
• Unwrap dough and put onto 2 parchment lined baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. Press out into 2 (12-inch) circles about 1/4-thick; pinch together any holes. Spoon the meat mixture into center of each dough round. Slide the second dough circle off the parchment to top the meat mixture. Crimp the edges together. Gently pat entire surface of pizza until flat. Slide pizza onto hot oiled grill. Cook, covered, for about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Warm the remaining marinara sauce in the microwave. Spoon some sauce on the plate and serve a hot slice of pizza on top.

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the bread flour, 00 flour, salt and yeast in a mixer with a hook attachment. Whisk together the water and honey. Turn the mixer to medium speed and slowly add the honey-water mixture and olive oil. The dough will come together when a ball is formed and pulls cleanly from the sides of the mixing bowl. If the dough is too wet, simply add a touch more flour until it pulls cleanly.
• Grease the inside of a large bowl or deep container with cooking spray. Add the dough to the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm area until the dough doubles in size, 60 to 90 minutes. The dough can be refrigerated until ready to use, with a damp cloth over it.
• For the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chile flakes and garlic and cook until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and basil sprigs. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely in the fridge. Remove the basil from the sauce before using.
• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Prepare a 12-inch cast-iron pan by greasing the interior with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Divide the dough into 2 portions and roll out 1 portion on a floured surface, making a round sheet roughly 14 inches wide. (Wrap the other dough portion in plastic wrap and freeze for another use.) Place the dough sheet over the greased pan, lightly pressing the interior corners into the pan to prevent pockets. Place the strips of smoked mozzarella around the interior of the pan, making a circle with the strips along the entire edge. Cut the dough approximately 1 inch above the level of the cheese. Roll the dough over the cheese, lightly tucking the edges underneath to form a stuffed crust. Brush the stuffed crust with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• For the toppings: Ladle the sauce into the center of the pizza, creating a thin layer that barely covers the pizza. Finish by topping with the torn mozzarella, olives, and onions.
• Place the pizza pan over medium heat and cook until the bottom of the crust begins to brown lightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the center is bubbly, about 20 minutes.
• Use a large metal spatula to remove the pizza, then top with the torn basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes, then cut into portions and serve.

Steps:

• To Make Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in 1 cup warm water; in a separate small bowl combine the yeast, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup warm water. Mix together and let rest in bowl for about 20 minutes, until foamy.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl mix together remaining 2 1/2 cups flour with cornmeal and salt; remove half of this mixture from bowl and stir 1 cup sugar water into bowl. When well mixed, return second half of flour/cornmeal mixture to bowl and mix all together; then stir in yeast mixture. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 12 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in volume.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). To Make Stuffing: In a large bowl combine the sausage, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, pepperoni, onion, bell pepper, oregano and garlic. Mix well.
• Press half of the dough in the bottom and up the sides of a lightly greased deep dish pan. Bake crust in preheated oven for 4 minutes, then add the stuffing mixture to the bottom crust and cover with top crust; seal edges together with fingers, and trim excess. Slit top crust to allow steam to vent during baking; top with tomato sauce.
• Bake on lower rack at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then cut and serve.
