Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Yield Makes 48 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 13

Fresh Basil, thinly sliced
4 whole-wheat pita breads (each 7 1/2 inches)
1 yellow bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
One half 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the tomato sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion and garlic are browned, about 4 minutes. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick, about 35 minutes.
  • Assemble the pizzas: Arrange pita breads on two baking sheets. Spread about 6 tablespoons tomato sauce on each. Scatter strips of yellow bell pepper on top, and then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven, and bake the pizzas until the peppers begin to wilt and the mozzarella has melted, about 20 minutes. Remove the pizzas from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with basil, andcut each pita pizza into 12 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TARTINE'S PIZZA OR PITA DOUGH



Tartine's Pizza or Pita Dough image

Provided by Chad Robertson

Categories     easy

Time 18m

Yield Makes 8 8-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup white all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole-wheat flour
7 ounces water (70 degrees)
¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 cups water (70 degrees)
7 cups white all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To make the starter, mix the ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand at cool room temperature overnight (10 to 12 hours). If you are not ready to mix your dough after 12 hours at room temperature, put the starter in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
  • To mix the dough, add the water to a large bowl. Add the starter and stir to disperse. Add 7 cups of white flour and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour. With a rubber spatula, mix thoroughly until no pockets of flour remain. Cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 20 to 40 minutes.
  • After the rest, add the salt and mix to incorporate into the dough. You can add a spritz of water to help dissolve the salt. Re-cover and let the dough rise 2 to 2 1/2 hours at moderately warm room temperature (75 degrees), giving it a dozen turns in the bowl every half hour to continue to develop.
  • After this initial (bulk) rise, you are ready to portion your dough into individual pieces for pizza and, if you like, retard the rising for another day in the fridge to develop more flavor. Portion the dough into 8 pieces and place each into small, olive-oil-brushed containers. Cover with plastic wrap. If you'd like to use the dough on the same day, let it rise at the same moderate warm room temperature for another 2 to 4 hours, then use to make pizza. If retarding the rising, cover and place in the fridge for up to 16 hours.
  • When you are ready to make pizza, preheat oven and pizza stone, if using, to 475 degrees. Remove dough from the oiled cups and place on a floured work surface, preferably the peel you will use to slide the pizza into the oven. Stretch the dough over your hands to your preferred thickness. Top as you like and peel into the hot oven to bake, about 18 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pita bread: Look for a pita bread that is soft and pliable, with a slight pocket in the center. Avoid pita bread that is too crispy or dry, as it will be difficult to fold and fill.
  • Heat the pita bread before using: This will help to make it more pliable and easier to fold. You can heat the pita bread in a toaster oven, on a griddle, or even in a microwave.
  • Don't overstuff the pita bread: If you overstuff the pita bread, it will be difficult to fold and eat. Aim for a filling that is about 1/2 cup per pita bread.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities for toppings are endless! You can use anything from classic pizza toppings like cheese, pepperoni, and sausage to more creative options like roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or even fruit.
  • Be creative with your presentation: Once you've filled your pita bread pizzas, you can get creative with how you present them. You can cut them into wedges, stack them on top of each other, or even fold them in half. Get creative and have fun!

Conclusion:

Pizza on pita bread is a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover pita bread, and it's also a fun and easy way to get creative with your meals.
