CRISPY GRILLED PIZZA MARGHERITA



Crispy Grilled Pizza Margherita image

Pizza on an outdoor grill is a great alternative to oven-cooked pizza. If you love crispy crust, this is for you. Note: cook time is relatively short, so alternative toppings like uncooked sausage or other meats may not cook fully.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough, at room temperature
¼ cup olive oil

Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 pinch white sugar
¼ cup flour for dusting
2 cups pizza sauce
20 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
20 leaves fresh basil
olive oil
sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Stir flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir half the flour mixture into yeast mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When dough pulls together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, then place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Punch dough down, divide into 4 equal pieces, and form each into a ball.
  • Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Stretch out and pat 1 dough ball to form a circle 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place dough on a lightly floured pizza peel. Top with 1/2 cup of tomato sauce and spread to cover within an inch of the edge of the dough. Arrange 5 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato sauce, then place 5 basil leaves on top. Drizzle pizza with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Repeat for 3 remaining dough balls.

PIZZA MARGHERITA RECIPE BY TASTY



Pizza Margherita Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: bread flour, kosher salt, sugar, warm water, active dry yeast, extra virgin olive oil, whole tomatoes, garlic, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil

Provided by Jake Frankenfield

Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups bread flour
2 ½ tablespoons kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups warm water
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
28 oz whole tomatoes, san marzano or other good quality tomatoes
4 cloves garlic
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/2-inch (1 1/4 cm) thick
2 cups fresh basil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine flour, 1½ tablespoons salt, and sugar.
  • In a medium bowl, combine water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well and let rest for 2 minutes.
  • Add yeast mixture to flour mixture and combine using your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook, at least two minutes. Let dough rest for 20 minutes, uncovered, at room temperature.
  • On a floured work surface, separate dough into 4 even portions. Work each into a circular ball, then place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Cover with a damp towel and rest, refrigerated, for at least 4 hours.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and garlic. Process until smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 550°F/290°C. Place a pizza stone or large cast-iron griddle on the center rack. Heat for at least 45 minutes.
  • On a floured work surface, use your fingertips to create a ring around the outside (your crust) of one of the risen balls of dough. Using the pads of your fingers, gently flatten out the dough inside the ring.
  • Gently lift up the dough and let it hang off your knuckles, stretching itself out with its own weight. Slowly rotate the circle of dough, continuing to let it stretch off your knuckles. Go all the way around the circle once, taking care not to let it hang too long in one place and stretch too thin.
  • Using a large spoon, spread a thin layer of sauce across the dough, leaving room for the crust.
  • Evenly place three slices of mozzarella on top of the sauce, then sprinkle a handful of torn basil leaves evenly over your pizza. Or top with whatever you desire: sausage, peppers, onions... just about anything can be a pizza topping!
  • Carefully slide the pizza onto a floured sheet or pizza peel and place on top of your stone or griddle in the oven. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the top of the crust is just beginning to blacken.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

FRIED EGG PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY



Fried Egg Pizza Recipe by Tasty image

Pizza for breakfast? You bet! This skillet features an egg white, spinach, and mozzarella base encased in a pizza dough crust with dollops of pizza sauce and a sprinkle of oregano and red pepper flakes for that classic pizza flavor. Finished with runny egg yolks and a dusting of Parmesan cheese, it's sure to satisfy any time of day.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

all-purpose flour, for dusting
12 oz prepared pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 large eggs, separated
½ cup prepared pizza sauce
½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
½ cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flake
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a rope 36 inches (1 m) long and ½-inch (13 mm) thick. Arrange the rope around the outer edge of a 12-inch (30.5 cm) nonstick ovenproof skillet and pinch together the ends to form a ring. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand until the dough is slightly puffed, about 30 minutes.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the center of the skillet.
  • Lightly beat the egg whites, then pour into the center of the skillet.
  • Spoon the pizza sauce over the egg whites, then top with the spinach and mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle the oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over everything.
  • Brush some of the remaining tablespoon olive oil over the dough ring, then drizzle any remaining olive oil over the center.
  • Bake the pizza until the dough is golden brown, the cheese has melted, and the egg whites are cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and arrange the egg yolks on top of the pizza. Return it to the oven and bake until the yolks are warmed through but still soft, about 5 minutes more (a thin film will develop on top of the yolks).
  • Transfer the skillet to a wire rack. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan and let cool for 1 minute. Run a spatula around the edges of the skillet to loosen the pizza, then carefully slide it onto a cutting board and slice into 4 large wedges. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!

COULDN'T BE EASIER MARGHERITA PIZZA



Couldn't Be Easier Margherita Pizza image

Using a flour tortilla makes short work to create this super flavorful one course meal. Absolutely sensational blend of simple, yet flavorful, ingredients. Perfect for a simple lunch or dinner.

Provided by Vicki in CT

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5m

Yield 1 pizza, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 burrito-size flour tortilla
1/2 tomatoes, thinly sliced (remove seeds and most of the liquid to help insure a crispy crust)
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced (jarred is fine)
4 -10 basil leaves
2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 dash olive oil (can also use peppered flavored oil)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place cast iron skillet, that has been slightly brushed with olive oil, (or other heavy metaled oven proof pan) in oven for a few minutes to heat.
  • Meanwhile, assemble pizza using tortilla as the base, top with tomatoes, garlic, cheese, basil leaves (can leave leaves whole, or julienne). I top with basil last because I love crispy basil. If you don't like basil this way, put under the cheese.
  • Place tortilla in hot skillet. It should sizzle. Cook until done (mine takes about 8-10 minutes).

PIZZA MARGHERITA



Pizza Margherita image

This recipe was brought to us by chef and restaurateur Pino Luongo.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

Extra-virgin olive oil, for pans and drizzling
Quick Basic Pizza Dough
1 twenty-eight-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained, seeded, and passed through the large disk of a food mill (about 1 cup)
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
12 basil leaves, well washed and spun dry
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly oil two 14-inch pizza pans; set aside.
  • Divide dough in half. Cover one half with plastic wrap while working with the other. Working on a lightly floured surface, use fingers to flatten and stretch half the dough into a rough 8-inch circle. Transfer to one of the prepared pans or onto a pizza peel. Continue pressing dough outward until it just fits inside rim of pan or reaches almost to the edge of the stone. Dough should be less than 1/4 inch thick. Drizzle with olive oil. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Spread 1/2 cup tomatoes on each pizza in a thin, even layer. Sprinkle each round with half the mozzarella. Transfer to oven, and bake until golden and crusty, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Top with basil. Drizzle with oil, season with salt to taste, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza. Too many toppings will make it soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the toppings from becoming overcooked.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. There are endless possibilities, so get creative and have fun!
  • If you're using a store-bought pizza crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a greased baking sheet. Just be sure to preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the pizza.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Margherita pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple yet flavorful ingredients, it's a great option for a quick and easy meal. Whether you're making it at home or ordering it from a restaurant, be sure to enjoy this classic Italian dish!
