CHEF JOHN'S POURABLE PIZZA



Chef John's Pourable Pizza image

Besides being kind of fun to make, this pourable pizza method doesn't require kneading or rolling/stretching/spinning. So it's an easy way to achieve a really thin-crust pizza. Plus you get that crispy, near-charred bottom you usually get only from a pizza oven.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more to oil pan
2 cups warm water (105 degrees F/41 degrees C)
Pizza sauce
Favorite pizza toppings

Steps:

  • Place flour in mixing bowl with dry yeast, salt, honey, olive oil, and warm water. Whisk together for about 5 minutes. This will be a very thin batter-like dough. Cover and let rise 1 1/2 hours. Dough should be bubbly. Stir with a ladle to eliminate the bubbles.
  • Generously oil a cast-iron skillet with olive oil off heat. Pour batter in a squeeze bottle or zip-top bag with a bottom corner snipped. Slowly pour the batter into the skillet starting from the center of the pan and working in circles toward the edge. Try to avoid mixing batter with the oil. If small bubbles of oil appear on the surface, use the tip of a paring knife to gently stir them into the dough.
  • Place pan over medium-high heat. Wait for the dough to form bubbles over the entire top surface and the crust starts to dry out a bit. Flip over and continue cooking one side and the next. The bubbly side should be dry and achieve a golden brown color; the bottom should be well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes total per side. Doneness times will depend on how thickly the batter was poured. Remove from heat.
  • Spread with pizza sauce and top with your favorite pizza toppings: mozzarella cheese, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, pepperoni, etc. Try to avoid topping too heavily.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place pizza under broiler until toppings are cooked, 3 to 4 minutes.

PAN-FRIED PIZZAS



Pan-Fried Pizzas image

I love how simple this recipe is to put together, just roll out the dough, pan-sear until crispy and top. No oven needed. It's the kind of appetizer or snack that just leaves people wanting more. Want to save some time? Buy store-bought pizza rounds and just cook and top! Feel free to add other herbs, like some fresh oregano, or sun-dried or oven-roasted tomatoes instead of fresh ones. This is a recipe that can take some variety.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup balsamic vinegar
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 pound (8 ounces) prepared pizza dough, at room temperature
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus additional for garnish
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup tightly-packed fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
Pizzeria Salt, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Make the balsamic glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until reduced by two-thirds and syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to let cool.
  • Shape the crust: On a flat, lightly-floured surface, divide the dough into quarters. Roll each into a loose ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Working with one ball at a time, roll and gently stretch into an 8-inch round about 1/8-inch thick. (Note: You can also use a rolling pin, if easier.) Set aside, covering with the towel or plastic wrap.
  • Cook the crusts: Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the sprigs of thyme. Let cook until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the thyme sprigs to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside to cool, then pick the leaves off the stems. Reserve the leaves.
  • Increase the heat to medium. Working with one round of dough at a time, gently place the dough into the hot oil so that it lies flat in the skillet. Cook until the underside is browned and the edges are crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a pair of kitchen tongs or a heatproof spatula to flip the dough to the other side, taking care, as the oil is hot and can splatter. Cook until the crust looks crispy, another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crust to a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough, adding and heating more oil in the skillet as needed between batches.
  • Prepare the tomatoes: In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with some salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Make the ricotta mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, fried thyme leaves and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings.
  • Assemble the pizzas: Transfer the crusts to a cutting board. Use the back of a kitchen spoon to spread the ricotta mixture evenly among the 4 pizzas. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle the basil and Pizzeria Salt over the ricotta. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Top with the tomatoes.
  • Cut each pizza into slices with a pizza cutter or saw into pieces gently with a serrated knife. Serve immediately with another drizzle of balsamic and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan and Pizzeria Salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano and red pepper flakes.

SCHOOL CAFETERIA POURABLE PIZZA CRUST



School Cafeteria Pourable Pizza Crust image

Pourable Pizza Crust from a quantity 1988 USDA school cafeteria recipe. Made in a half-sheet pan (13" x 18" x 1") . The recipe makes a nice, soft bread like crust. This is the pizza crust that's been served at schools for the past 25 years. This recipe would be really good for something like a kids birthday party. The dough has the consestency of very thick pancake batter. You pour it into a sheet pan, with the help of a rubber spatula. I like it because it saves all the rolling and fussing with normal pizza dough.

Time 1h

Yield 1 pizza, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups water, warm (130 degrees F)
2 tablespoons cornmeal

Steps:

  • 1. Mix dry yeast, flour, dry milk, sugar, and salt together in stand mixer.
  • 2. Add oil to dry mixture mix for 4 minutes on low speed.
  • 3. Add water to dry ingredients. Mix in stand mixer for 10 minutes on medium speed. Batter will be lumpy.
  • 4. Lightly coat a half-sheet pan (13" x 18" x 1") with non-stick pan release spray. Sprinkle half-sheet pan with 2 Tbsp cornmeal.
  • 5. Pour or spread dough with rubber spatula into half-sheet pan. Let stand for 20 minutes on counter (allows dough to rise).
  • 6. Prebake until crust is set and can support sauce and toppings: Conventional oven: 475° F for 10 minutes. Convection oven: 425° F for 7 minutes
  • 7. Top prebaked crust with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings.
  • 8. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted: Conventional oven: 475° F for 10-15 minutes. Convection oven: 425° F for 5 minutes
  • 9. Portion by cutting each half-sheet pan 2 x 5 (10 pieces per pan).

Tips:

  • Use the right pan: A 12-inch cast iron skillet is ideal for making pan pizza. It distributes heat evenly and gives the pizza a crispy crust.
  • Make sure your dough is at room temperature: This will help it rise properly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the toppings so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pizza.
  • Don't overcook the pizza: A few minutes too long in the oven can make the crust dry and the cheese rubbery.

Conclusion:

Pan pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a pizza that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pan pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
