DEEP DISH CHEESE PIZZA



Deep Dish Cheese Pizza image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons cornmeal, such as Arrowhead Mills, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 to 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the bowl
6 ounces sliced provolone
1 cup jarred marinara sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Dried oregano and red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the yeast, water and honey in a small bowl. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cornmeal, salt and 2 cups flour in a bowl. Add the water mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil. Using your hands, stir together to form a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough, adding more flour as needed, until it forms a slightly tacky but smooth dough that doesn't stick to your hands or the counter, 5 to 10 minutes. Place the dough in an olive oil-coated bowl, turning to coat the dough in the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and another in the bottom third. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9-inch springform pan with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Wrap the bottom of the pan in aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Gently place the dough in the pan and spread it out to the edges using your fingers. Work the dough about 2 inches up the side of the pan. Shingle the provolone on the bottom of the crust and part of the way up the sides. Spoon the marinara over the cheese and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake for 30 minutes on the lower rack. Rotate the pizza and move it to the top rack and continue to bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the sauce is slightly darker, another 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and seasonings, if using, and allow the pizza to rest for 10 minutes before unmolding, slicing and serving.

SALSA VERDE PIZZA WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CHORIZO (RICK BAYLESS)



Salsa Verde Pizza With Goat Cheese and Chorizo (Rick Bayless) image

I saw this on Rick Bayless's show "Mexico - One Plate at a Time" and it looked delicious and relatively easy. Resting time for the dough is included in the prep time. Be sure to use the fresh Mexican-style chorizo not the smoked Spanish-style.

Provided by flower7

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 8h55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces tomatillos, de-husked and rinsed (3 to 4 medium)
1 -2 serrano chili, stems removed
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
6 sprigs fresh cilantro or 6 sprigs parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup water
1/4 small white onion, finely chopped
salt, to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour (10 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water, at room-temperature
1/3 cup beer (a light lager is good)
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces mexican chorizo sausage, casing removed and cooked thoroughly
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces goat cheese, coarsely crumbled into roughly 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons romano cheese or 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
cilantro or parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Roast the tomatillos, chile(s) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet 4 inches below a very hot broiler, until blotchy black and softening (they'll be turning from lime green to olive), about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side.
  • Cool, then transfer everything to a blender, including all the juice that has accumulated. Add the cilantro or parsley and 1/4 cup water, then blend to a coarse puree. Scoop into a serving dish.
  • Rinse the onion under cold water, then drain well to remove excess moisture. Stir into the salsa and season with salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon.
  • For the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, yeast and salt. Measure in the water and beer. Stir to combine everything into a rough-looking mass. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours.
  • After the dough has raised, heat the oven to 500°F.
  • Generously oil a 13 x 18 rimmed baking sheet (a half sheet pan). Use a rubber spatula to gently deflate the dough and scrape it out onto the baking sheet. Gently coax the dough into a mostly even rectangle about 9 by 13 inches.
  • Spread on 2/3 cup roasted tomatillo salsa (save the rest for snacking later), leaving a 1-inch border around the outside. Scatter on the cooked chorizo, sliced red onion and crumbled goat cheese. Bake in the middle of the oven until puffy and brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with queso anejo and cilantro or parsley leaves, cut in squares and serve.

CHICKEN SALSA PIZZA



Chicken Salsa Pizza image

I find this pizza great for leftover chicken, but you can use raw chicken breasts and cook them up. Also, because of the taste of salsa, you don't need as much cheese or sauce, which makes it healthier. I prefer to use homemade half-whole wheat pizza dough, but any dough will work.

Provided by CoCaShe

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 1 pizza, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pizza crust
1 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or 1 enough leftover chicken to cover one pizza crust
1 cup assorted fresh vegetable, for example, green peppers, mushrooms, red onions
salsa
cheddar cheese or tex-mex cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare the pizza dough.
  • If using raw chicken breast, fry strips in oil until cooked through, but not totally done. Halfway through cooking add vegetables and sautee until soft. If using leftover chicken, you can just sautee the vegetables, or leave them raw and put all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add enough salsa to coat the chicken and vegetables.
  • Mix in as much cheese as desired.
  • Top pizza with chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with more cheese if desired.
  • Bake on preheated pizza stone at 475 for 10 minutes, or according to directions for pizza dough.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality pizza dough. You can make your own or buy it pre-made from the store.
  • Use fresh salsa. This will give your pizza the best flavor.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. This will make it soggy.
  • If you're using a store-bought pizza crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Salsa pizza with cheese crust is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With its crispy crust, flavorful salsa, and gooey cheese, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
