Provided by Contadina

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Contadina®

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ (12 ounce) can CONTADINA® Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes FLEISCHMANN'S® Pizza Crust Yeast or RapidRise® Yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ⅓ cups very warm water (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F)
⅓ cup oil
1 (6 ounce) package HORMEL® Pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
  • For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
  • Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
  • Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
  • For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

SOPPRESSATA PIZZA



Soppressata Pizza image

Categories     Cheese     Pepper     Pork     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Summer     Healthy     Self     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Small Plates

Yield Makes topping for 8 individual pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup grated lowfat Romano
3/4 cup grated lowfat fontina
2 cups bottled roasted red peppers
1 cup lowfat ricotta
40 ultrathin slices soppressata (or other Italian salami), about 4 oz
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Grilled Pizza Crust

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix Romano and fontina. Make pizza crust. While second side of each crust is grilling, spread 1/8 cheese mixture over cooked side of each crust. Top with 1/8 peppers. Dollop 1/8 cup ricotta over each crust. Arrange 5 slices soppressata on each pizza. Sprinkle each with 1 1/2 tsp parsley. Rotate 3 to 4 minutes until bottom is evenly golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible and use a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can use a cast iron skillet or even a baking pan.
  • To make sure your pizza cooks evenly, rotate it halfway through the baking time.
  • If you're using fresh mozzarella cheese, make sure to pat it dry before using it on your pizza. This will help to prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use anything from pepperoni and sausage to vegetables and fruits.

Conclusion:

Picante pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its spicy and flavorful sauce, gooey cheese, and crispy crust, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or get-together.
