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.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Three 1-pound balls refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
Olive oil, for greasing the pans
3/4 cup favorite barbecue sauce, plus more for garnish (I like smoky Kansas City sauce)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 cups shredded Colby-Cheddar cheese blend
2/3 cup pizza sauce
Half a 4-ounce package sliced turkey pepperoni
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
2/3 cup pizza sauce
Half an 8-ounce package sliced mushrooms
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease 3 large rimmed baking sheets. Place one dough ball in each baking sheet, and stretch and press the dough to fit into the pan.
  • For the BBQ Chicken Pizza: Toss 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce with the chicken. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce over one pizza dough. Top with the chicken, red onion, cilantro and cheese.
  • For the Pepperoni Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over another pizza dough. Top with pepperoni and cheese.

  • Bake all of the pizzas until the crusts are browned and crispy and the cheese is melted, rotating the pans as needed to cook the pizzas evenly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the pizzas stand 5 minutes before cutting. Drizzle the BBQ Chicken Pizza with additional barbecue sauce and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Sprinkle the Pepperoni Pizza with fresh basil.

DETROIT-STYLE PEPPERONI PIZZA



Detroit-Style Pepperoni Pizza image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 batch Pizza Dough, recipe follows
8 ounces sliced pepperoni, about 1/8 inch thick (look for smaller-size pepperoni sticks)
16 ounces brick cheese (or whole-milk mozzarella), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Pizza sauce, store-bought or homemade, recipe follows
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon rapid rise yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
Olive oil, for oiling the bowl
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to the highest temperature setting, 500 to 550 degrees F.
  • Pour the oil in a large, square metal cake pan (or, ideally, an authentic Detroit-style pizza pan). Put the Pizza Dough in the pan and gently stretch it out to fit so the dough reaches the corners. If the dough is being temperamental, set it aside for another 10 minutes to relax and try again.
  • Layer the pepperoni on the dough. Then lay the cheese cubes all over, especially around the perimeter up to the edge of the pan (this creates the coveted crispy cheese crust). Dollop the pizza sauce on top in 3 lines.
  • Bake in the ultra-hot oven until bubbly and golden and a crispy cheese crust has formed, 10 to 15 minutes. Using a fish spatula, loosen up the edges and place on a cutting board. Slice into squares and serve!
  • Put the flour, salt, yeast and sugar in a food processor with a metal blade attachment and pulse to combine. Add 1 cup warm water, then process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds (if a ball does not form, add a bit more flour). Process for another 30 seconds, then roll into a tight ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Proof in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 2 hours.
  • Heat a small saucepot over medium heat and add the oil. Add the Italian seasoning and garlic and saute until fragrant; do not let the garlic burn. Add the tomatoes and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and simmer until concentrated, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: Too many toppings will make it soggy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust get crispy.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing: This will help prevent the cheese from becoming stringy.
  • Serve the pizza with your favorite dipping sauce: Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter are all great options.
