Steps:
- Make the dough: Combine the yeast, 1 cup warm water (about 100 degrees F) and the sugar in a food processor and pulse once to combine. Let sit until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the olive oil; pulse to combine. Mix the flour and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl; add to the food processor and pulse until the dough pulls away from the side and gathers around the blade.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into 2 even balls. Transfer to 2 lightly oiled bowls; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours. (You can make the dough ahead; wrap in plastic and refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- Set a pizza stone or large baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the ricotta, parmesan, olive oil, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes in a bowl; season with salt and set aside.
- Stretch 1 ball of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured pizza peel or inverted baking sheet. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with half of the mozzarella, then brush the edge lightly with olive oil.
- Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool 2 minutes before slicing. Repeat to make the second pizza.

Steps:
- Prep the ingredients. Remove the dough from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Grate the fontina cheese on the large side of a box grater. Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces. Grate the Grana Padano cheese on the small side of a box grater.
- Make the sauce. In a small pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the tomatoes (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat, add the Quark Cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble and bake the pizza. Lightly oil a sheet pan. On a work surface, using your hands and a rolling pin (or a wine bottle), gently stretch and roll the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. (If the dough is resistant, let rest 5 minutes.) Carefully transfer to the sheet pan; rub into the pan to coat the bottom in oil.
- Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, spread enough of the sauce onto the dough to coat (you may have extra sauce). Evenly top with the grated fontina cheese, torn mozzarella cheese, and half the grated Grana Padano cheese; season with salt and pepper.
- Blue Apron's recommendation is to bake 17 to 19 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown; however my pizza was done after 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes.
- Slice pizza and serve. Transfer the baked pizza to a cutting board and cut into equal-sized pieces. Serve the sliced pizza with the salad on the side. Garnish the pizza with the remaining grated Grana Padano cheese.
- Prepare the salad. While the pizza bakes, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the apple. Combine in a large bowl.
- Make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the creamy mustard sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, add the almonds and enough of the dressing to coat to the bowl of prepared salad ingredients (you may have extra dressing); season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3 CHEESE PIZZA
Steps:
- In a bowl, combine flour and salt - and set aside.
- In a measuring cup - measure the warm water, add olive oil, sugar, and yeast. Combine well.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture.
- Use a wooden spoon or spatula to combine it well making sure no dry flour is left on the bottom.
- This is a very wet dough, so don't try touching it with your hand.
- Cover with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap.
- Let on the countertop for an hour.
- Then, place in the fridge for 4 hours - up to 12 hours. I like to leave it overnight.
- Tip - Make sure the dough is well covered with plastic wrap so it does not dry out in the fridge.
- Preheat oven with pizza stone for at 200 C / 390 F for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the fridge.
- The dough will have become three times its size but still be very soft, sticky, and elastic with lots of air pockets.
- Dust your work surface generously with flour.
- Remove the dough on to the floured work surface. It is best to use a bench scraper or spatula.
- Divide the dough with a bench scraper. This dough makes three (for 3 x 12-inch thin-crust pizzas).
- Tip - Let the dough rest again for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Using a rolling pin, roll one piece of dough to about 12 inches (see video).
- Transfer pizza to a pizza pan or baking tray (or pizza peel). The video below uses a pizza pan.
- Tip - Place parchment paper on a pizza peel (parchment is less messy than cornmeal or flour).
- Tip - Let the base rest for 5 to 10 minutes - this will proof the base just a little which makes those edges puffy. (optional)
- Add all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Pour into a saucepan and cook on high for 2 minutes.
- You want the excess moisture to evaporate (see video).
- Let cool then use it on your favorite pizza.
- Tip - Brush the edges of the pizza with olive oil (this will give a nice golden crisp crust).
- Spread pizza sauce
- Sprinkle the parmesan, followed by the other cheeses ending with the mozzarella.
- Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are crisp and golden and the cheese is melted beautifully.

Steps:
- Heat it up:Set up a grill with heat source, coals or gas, on one side over medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill.

Steps:
- If you're using a pizza stone, place it on a center rack in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Prepare the Asiago Cheese (2/3 cup), Mozzarella Cheese (2 cup) and Parmesan Cheese (2/3 cup).
- Sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cup), Granulated Sugar (1 tablespoon), Instant Dry Yeast (1/2 tablespoon), and Salt (1/2 teaspoon) into a large bowl.
- Add Water (1/2 cup) and mix with a fork until a dough is formed. It should be slightly sticky. You may have to abandon the fork and switch to using your hands before the dough is fully formed. Let rest for a few minutes.
- Once the dough has rested for a few minutes, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle a cutting board with corn meal or flour and transfer the crust to the board. Then spread Pizza Sauce (3/4 cup) evenly on the dough.
- Sprinkle the three cheeses evenly over the pizza: first the mozzarella, then the asiago, then the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle the Ground Black Pepper (1 teaspoon) over the pizza.
- Slide the oven rack with the pizza stone out of the oven, and gently transfer the pizza to the stone before sliding the rack back inside. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges of the crust are browning and the cheese is bubbly and brown.
- Slice into pieces and serve hot!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken tenders and saute until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

- In a small bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.
- Set aside.
- On a floured surface, roll out dough and place on a greased sheet pan.
- Shape to fill the sheet pan, about a 15 by 10-inch rectangle (skip this part if using premade crust).
- Spread remaining barbecue sauce evenly over pizza dough.
- Sprinkle Gouda, mozzarella, Parmesan, onions, and chicken over top.

- To get a crispy crust, use a high-quality mozzarella cheese that is well-drained.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings. This will make it soggy.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature (450-500 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes).
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
