Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb Pizza Dough
1 15-Ounce Can Crushed Tomatoes
2 cloves Garlic
4 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
2 oz Fontina Cheese
0.7 oz Grana Padano Cheese
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning (Whole Dried Basil, Sage, Oregano, Savory, Rosemary, Thyme, & Marjoram)
2 Tbsps Quark Cheese
6 oz Carrots
1 Apple
1 head Butter Lettuce
2 Tbsps Sliced Roasted Almonds
1 Tbsp Creamy Mustard Sauce

Steps:

  • Prep the ingredients. Remove the dough from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Grate the fontina cheese on the large side of a box grater. Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces. Grate the Grana Padano cheese on the small side of a box grater.
  • Make the sauce. In a small pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the tomatoes (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat, add the Quark Cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble and bake the pizza. Lightly oil a sheet pan. On a work surface, using your hands and a rolling pin (or a wine bottle), gently stretch and roll the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. (If the dough is resistant, let rest 5 minutes.) Carefully transfer to the sheet pan; rub into the pan to coat the bottom in oil.
  • Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, spread enough of the sauce onto the dough to coat (you may have extra sauce). Evenly top with the grated fontina cheese, torn mozzarella cheese, and half the grated Grana Padano cheese; season with salt and pepper.
  • Blue Apron's recommendation is to bake 17 to 19 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown; however my pizza was done after 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes.
  • Slice pizza and serve. Transfer the baked pizza to a cutting board and cut into equal-sized pieces. Serve the sliced pizza with the salad on the side. Garnish the pizza with the remaining grated Grana Padano cheese.
  • Prepare the salad. While the pizza bakes, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the apple. Combine in a large bowl.
  • Make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the creamy mustard sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, add the almonds and enough of the dressing to coat to the bowl of prepared salad ingredients (you may have extra dressing); season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tablespoon Instant Dry Yeast
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Water
3/4 cup Pizza Sauce
2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
2/3 cup Asiago Cheese
2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Steps:

  • If you're using a pizza stone, place it on a center rack in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Prepare the Asiago Cheese (2/3 cup), Mozzarella Cheese (2 cup) and Parmesan Cheese (2/3 cup).
  • Sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cup), Granulated Sugar (1 tablespoon), Instant Dry Yeast (1/2 tablespoon), and Salt (1/2 teaspoon) into a large bowl.
  • Add Water (1/2 cup) and mix with a fork until a dough is formed. It should be slightly sticky. You may have to abandon the fork and switch to using your hands before the dough is fully formed. Let rest for a few minutes.
  • Once the dough has rested for a few minutes, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle a cutting board with corn meal or flour and transfer the crust to the board. Then spread Pizza Sauce (3/4 cup) evenly on the dough.
  • Sprinkle the three cheeses evenly over the pizza: first the mozzarella, then the asiago, then the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle the Ground Black Pepper (1 teaspoon) over the pizza.
  • Slide the oven rack with the pizza stone out of the oven, and gently transfer the pizza to the stone before sliding the rack back inside. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges of the crust are browning and the cheese is bubbly and brown.
  • Slice into pieces and serve hot!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese blend. The best cheese blend for pizza will melt smoothly and evenly, and it will have a good balance of flavors. A classic three-cheese blend typically includes mozzarella, Parmesan, and provolone.
  • Use fresh, high-quality cheese. The fresher the cheese, the better the flavor of your pizza will be. Look for cheese that is sold in a block or ball, and avoid pre-shredded cheese, which can be dry and flavorless.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. Shredding the cheese yourself will help to ensure that it melts evenly. If you don't have a cheese grater, you can use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade.
  • Use the right amount of cheese. Too much cheese can make your pizza soggy, while too little cheese can make it dry. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per 12-inch pizza.
  • Distribute the cheese evenly. Make sure to distribute the cheese evenly over the entire pizza, so that every bite has a cheesy flavor.
  • Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The best way to tell if your pizza is done is to check the cheese. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and it should be slightly browned in spots.

Conclusion:

Choosing the right cheese blend, using fresh, high-quality cheese, and shredding the cheese yourself are all important steps in making a great pizza. By following these tips, you can create a pizza that is cheesy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, don't just order takeout. Make your own pizza at home, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a delicious and satisfying meal.
