PIEROGI PIZZA

Two of my favorite things blended together; tastes like pierogis on a pizza. Tasty potatoes are spread on a pizza crust and covered in all the traditional pierogi fixings - bacon, cheese, and green onions. Slice and serve with plain sour cream for dipping.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 cup warm water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
6 potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces sour cream
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 (8 ounce) package marbled Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 bunch green onions, chopped
¼ cup bacon bits, or to taste

Steps:

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
Combine flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil over flour. Mix and knead until a sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add potatoes and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Whisk sour cream and garlic powder together in a small bowl to make pizza "sauce".
Gently pat and stretch pizza dough out to a 12-inch circle on a pizza stone. Spread sauce evenly over dough. Layer potatoes on top to cover dough completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits on top.
Bake pizza in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Categories main-dish

Time 10h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 sweet onions, sliced
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, rested at room temperature for 4 hours
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 ounces grated Parmesan
One 24-ounce container Yukon gold and garlic mashed potatoes, preferably Good & Gather, at room temperature
6 strips cooked bacon, sliced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
1/4 cup Greek yogurt, loosened slightly with water
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

In a slow cooker on low, add the onions, 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every hour or so, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 hours. Cook uncovered for the last hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Roll the dough out to fit an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet or a large round pizza pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and pierce the dough with a fork all over to minimize bubbles. Bake the dough, checking every few minutes to ensure it doesn't burn, until lightly golden in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
In a medium bowl combine the Monterey Jack and Parmesan. Add half of the cheese mixture to the mashed potatoes.
Top the dough in an even layer with the mashed potato mixture. Add the caramelized onions, bacon, chile flakes and the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with a drizzle of the yogurt and sprinkle with the chives.

Tips:

To make sure your pierogi pizza dough is the perfect consistency, mix the yeast with warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes, until it is foamy.
If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake your pierogi pizza on a greased baking sheet.
For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature it will go, and bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes.
To prevent the pierogi from sticking to the dough, lightly grease the bottom of each pierogi before placing it on the dough.
If you don't have any pierogi on hand, you can use frozen tater tots or diced potatoes instead.
Feel free to get creative with your toppings! You can add anything from cheese and bacon to vegetables and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Pierogi pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, cheesy filling, and flavorful toppings, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give pierogi pizza a try!
