Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 recipe Simple Pizza Dough, recipe follows
Olive oil, for brushing crust
8 ounces mozzarella, sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus small chunk for shavingw
1 chicken breast, grilled and sliced thinly
2 romaine hearts, washed and dried, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup Caesar Salad Dressing, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed and dried
1 3/4 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons salt
Nonstick spray

Steps:

  • Prepare the Simple Pizza Dough according to recipe.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • On a baking sheet brushed liberally with olive oil, stretch the dough to desired shape and thickness. Brush the crust with olive oil and top with the mozzarella slices. Bake the pizza until the dough crisps up and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pizza from oven. Top the melted mozzarella with the grated Parmesan and sliced chicken. Toss the romaine hearts with the Caesar Salad Dressing and season with salt and pepper. Top the pizza with the Caesar salad and shave over some Parmesan. Serve and enjoy!
  • Cook's Note: If you don't have a pizza stone at home, no worries, use a well-oiled sheet tray and a hot oven to achieve a crisp bottom on your pizza! Also place the dough on the very bottom rack of your oven. It will help to create that crispy crust.
  • In a blender or food processor, process the Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, garlic and anchovy until emulsified and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.;
  • In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, add the olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Stream in the water/yeast mixture and as the dough begins to come together, switch to a dough hook attachment. Allow the dough to knead, adding a bit more flour if needed, so that the dough releases from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 3 minutes. You should be able to touch the dough and not have the dough stick to your fingers. Once the dough has kneaded and has pulled away from the sides of the bowl, remove the dough from bowl to a floured work surface and, with floured hands, continue to knead it by hand for 1 to 2 minutes. Then form the dough into a round ball and place it into a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let the dough rise in a warm area of your kitchen until it doubles in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After the dough has risen it is ready to be cooked however you'd like!
  • Cook's Notes: This dough is wet dough, keep bench flour at the ready and make sure to flour your hands when working with the dough. Trust your gut as a chef, if the dough is to wet, add more flour, if it is too stiff, add a little water.
  • Sugar is used to feed the yeast which will help the dough to grow. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture because the flour has more gluten. You don't need to use a thermometer to get the water temperature, it should just feel warm to the touch.

SALAD DRESSING PIZZA



Salad Dressing Pizza image

Make and share this Salad Dressing Pizza recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Marla Swoffer

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Boboli pizza crust
1/2 cup creamy salad dressing (I used Kraft 3 Cheese)
2 cups mozzarella cheese (grated)
1 cup mushroom (thinly sliced)
1 cup artichoke heart (quartered)
1/2 cup black olives (sliced)
2 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Spread salad dressing on pizza crust.
  • Sprinkle cheese on pizza.
  • Top with mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and olives (in that order).
  • Crush garlic in press and scatter over pizza.
  • Bake according to Boboli crust instructions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salad dressing. Not all salad dressings are created equal. Some, like vinaigrette or lemon-tahini, are light and refreshing, while others, like ranch or Caesar, are rich and creamy. Choose a dressing that will complement the flavors of your pizza toppings.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing. You don't want to drown your pizza in dressing. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Distribute the dressing evenly. Use a spoon or brush to spread the dressing evenly over the surface of the pizza. This will help to ensure that every bite is flavorful.
  • Let the dressing soak in. After you've applied the dressing, let it sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving the pizza. This will give the dressing time to soak into the crust and toppings.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. A sprinkling of fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, can add a pop of flavor and color to your salad dressing pizza.

Conclusion:

Salad dressing pizza is a fun and easy way to enjoy your favorite pizza toppings in a new way. With a variety of salad dressings and toppings to choose from, the possibilities are endless. So get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your perfect salad dressing pizza.
