Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling bowl
1/2 to 3/4 cup store-bought or homemade Pizza Sauce, recipe follows
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
1 cup pepperoni pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
One 3.5-ounce jar pesto
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
4 ounces fontina, grated
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/4 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 pint red grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
16 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade, plus more if needed
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup chicken broth
Three 15-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
Pinch sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • For the pizza dough: Sprinkle the active dry yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm--not lukewarm--water.
  • In a mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
  • Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and tip the dough in. Form a ball and toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 or 4 days refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • To prepare the dough for the pizza assembly: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out one part as thinly as possible and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
  • For the basic pepperoni pizza: Spread the sauce over the pizza base. Top with the sliced mozzarella and pepperoni.
  • For the four cheese pizza: Drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Pour the jar of pesto onto the dough and spread evenly. Add the mozzarella, fontina, goat cheese and Pecorino Romano.
  • Bake both pizzas until the crusts are golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For the tomato basil salad: While the pizzas are baking, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a small skillet. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute and removing it from the heat before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour it into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, balsamic, basil and some salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed. Set aside.
  • Top the four cheese pizza with the tomato basil salad. Cut the pizzas into slices and serve.
  • Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil into a hot pan over medium-high heat. Throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir. Cook until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of sugar. Add the dried oregano and basil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup pasta sauce, divided (Pasta Sauce #1 highly recommended)
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
cooked sausage or any other favorite pizza toppings
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Spread pizza sauce on one tortilla.
  • Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Add toppings of your choice, or add some extra cheese and keep it simple.
  • Top with second tortilla.
  • Spray the outside of the pizzadilla with spray butter or non-stick cooking spray. I find it easiest to spray the pan, place the pizzadilla in the pan, and then spray the top side, so that all of the ingredients won't fall out trying to juggle it.
  • Cook until golden brown and cheese is melted in a pan over medium heat, flipping once.
  • Cut into wedges. Use remaining sauce for dipping!

FOUR-CHEESE FRENCH BREAD PIZZA



Four-Cheese French Bread Pizza image

Each cheese plays a special role in this French bread pizza: A combination of Parmesan and pecorino makes it especially nutty and salty; mozzarella melts evenly and a sharper deli-style provolone bridges the gap between them. Once you learn how to make the classic white sauce (technically a Mornay, which is a béchamel with cheese added), you'll find dozens of ways to use it beyond pizza: Swap in an equal amount of grated Cheddar and toss it with pasta for an easy stovetop mac and cheese, or use Gruyère, slather the sauce over ham on toast, and broil until bubbly and browned. The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time; store tightly covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
A few grinds of black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 loaf soft French bread, split lengthwise, insides mostly dug out
4 ounces mozzarella, low-moisture and part-skim, or fresh (drained and patted dry, if necessary), grated or torn
4 ounces sliced provolone (from the deli), cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Red-pepper flakes or dried oregano, or both, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until starting to turn golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, a few splashes at a time to start, until evenly incorporated. Bring to a full boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened and the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. (It will continue to thicken as it cools.). Remove from heat, and whisk in Parmesan, pecorino, salt and pepper. Let cool.
  • Prepare the pizza: Combine olive oil and garlic in a small pot over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the garlic starts to sizzle but doesn't brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place the French bread cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush cut sides with garlic oil. Bake until edges are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Toss together the cheeses in a medium bowl. Spread sauce over the two bread halves all the way to the edges and top with cheese.
  • Return to the oven and bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to broil. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots (watch carefully!), 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve topped with red-pepper flakes and oregano, if you like.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a pizza dough, you can use a pre-made one or even a tortilla.
  • Be generous with the cheese - it's what makes the pizzadilla so gooey and delicious.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You could add cooked chicken, bacon, or vegetables.
  • If you want a crispy crust, cook the pizzadilla in a hot oven for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
  • Serve the pizzadilla with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.

Conclusion:

The pizzadilla is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover pizza dough. With its crispy crust, gooey cheese, and flavorful toppings, the pizzadilla is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
