GRANDMA'S PIZZA

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups flour (I'm using bread flour but you could use all-purpose)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast or 1/2 ounce fresh yeast
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the baking sheets
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (San Marzano if possible)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 leaves fresh basil
3 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
12 ounces mozzarella (fresh if possible), sliced or shredded
Cracked black pepper
Chile flakes, for sprinkling, optional
Grated Parmesan, for sprinkling
12 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Cut the dough in half; you should have enough for two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. You can make both pizzas now, or hold the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Lightly oil one or two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. Add the dough and press down on it to spread it toward the edges. You won't be able to get it all the way to the edges, so spread it as much as you can without tearing. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
  • For the sauce: Put the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and some salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the topping: Spread the sauce all the way to the corners of the dough. Top the sauce with the mozzarella and sprinkle with black pepper and chile flakes if using. Bake until the dough is crisp and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with the basil and some Parmesan and serve.

Time 3h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 medium russet potato, peeled
3 cups bread flour
3 ½ teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (.25 ounce) package rapid-rise yeast
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 ⅓ cups water
1 serving olive oil cooking spray
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 medium garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 sprigs fresh basil
1 pinch kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
10 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place potato into a large pot and cover with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Mash the potato and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 tablespoons oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Add water and mix on low speed until it comes together and no dry flour remains. Add the potato and increase speed to medium until dough is stretchy.
  • Coat the bottom of a square, lipped baking sheet with the rest of the oil. Place the dough on the baking sheet and spread it out, edge to edge. Use cooking spray to coat plastic wrap. Cover the dough and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a cold, 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and flip the garlic until is lightly browned. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, onion powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes and combine for about 2 minutes; add sugar and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in basil. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and adjust the pizza dough if necessary, ensuring it fills the pan from corner to corner. Spread 1 cup of sauce over the crust using a spoon, leaving a 1-inch border. Coat the top with 1/2 of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire pizza. Add more tomato sauce randomly over the pizza and add remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Return to the oven and bake until crust is well browned and cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.

GRANDMA INEZ PIZZA FONDUE



GRANDMA INEZ PIZZA FONDUE image

Categories     Sauce     Cheese     Appetizer     Sauté     Vegetarian

Yield A Large crowd of people, at least 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (one) large package of sharp cheddar cheese (10 ounces).
1 (one)large package mozzerella (1 pound)
2 tablespoons of dried oregano
2 large cans of your favorite prepared tomato sauce,(or use leftover sauce of your own (about four cups)
2 (two) large loafs of crusty Italian bread
cut up stick of pepperoni
1 (one) package of cleaned and cooked shrimp

Steps:

  • So simple, yet so good!!!!!...In a large saucepan, heat tomato sauce until almost bubbling...add oregano...add slowly grated cheeses (sharp cheddar and mozzerella) until all incorporated...transfer to a fondue pot surrounded by cut up italian bread, cut up pepperoni, and shrimp (you can use any topping that you would put on your pizza.....)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more flavorful fondue. A good combination is mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. This will create a rich, gooey fondue with a variety of flavors and textures. If using pre-packaged shredded cheese, ensure it does not contain any anti-caking agents, as these can prevent the cheese from melting smoothly.
  • Don't overheat the fondue. The cheese should be melted slowly over low heat, stirring constantly. If the cheese is overheated, it will become thick and rubbery.
  • Add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to the cheese mixture to help it thicken. This will prevent the fondue from becoming too thin and runny.
  • Season the fondue to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options, such as bread, vegetables, and fruit. For a more substantial meal, you can also serve it with grilled chicken or steak.
  • Keep the fondue warm over a low flame or in a fondue pot. This will allow you to enjoy it for hours.

Pizza fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion.
