Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups self-rising flour, plus more for rolling
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 heaping tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning blend
1 cup pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, pesto or Alfredo sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella
3 toppings such as pepperoni, cooked sausage, garlic, onions and peppers, chopped rotisserie chicken, ham, pineapple, olives, etc.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the dough: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour, yogurt and seasoning blend and mix until combined and tacky. Scrape off the dough from the paddle and replace the paddle with the kneading (dough hook) attachment. Sprinkle in a bit more flour and knead on medium until a ball forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a big thin circle or divide the dough in half to make 2 pizzas.
  • For the toppings: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the dough, top the pizza evenly with the sauce and cheese, then the selected toppings. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

All-purpose flour, for rolling the dough
1 pound thawed frozen pizza dough, at room temperature
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar
8 ounces whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 drops vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Using some flour, roll out the pizza dough to a large circle about 1/4 inch thick; dock with a fork all around. Transfer to the pizza stone and cook until the crust is light golden brown and slightly rigid, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven off.
  • For the white side: While the crust is baking, fold together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
  • For the black side: In a medium bowl, toss together the milk chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Leaving a rim around the crust, spread one half of the crust with the cream cheese mixture and top with the marshmallows. Sprinkle the other half with the chocolate mixture (again, leaving a rim of crust). Brush the melted butter on the rim and sprinkle just the rim with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Put the pizza back in the warm oven. Cook until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the entire pizza. Slice and serve warm.

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces pizza dough (1/4 of a 1-pound pizza dough ball)
2 strips crispy cooked bacon
1/3 cup marinara, pizza or arrabbiata sauce
2 tablespoons sambal oelek or harissa
2 tablespoons maple or sugar cane syrup
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Swiss, etc.)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F or prepare the grill for indirect cooking at 450 degrees F. If using a pizza stone, position it on the center rack in the oven.
  • Flatten and form the pizza dough into a circle and place in an ovenproof nonstick pan. Bake or cook on the grill or put the dough directly on the grill grates over indirect heat. Cook until the dough becomes rigid and slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Break up the bacon into small bite-size pieces into a small bowl. Mix in the marinara sauce, sambal and maple syrup.
  • Add the sauce to the partially baked pizza round, then add the cheese, making a bit of a well in the center. Crack and add the eggs to the well. Place back on the grill over the indirect heat or in the oven and cook until the eggs are set, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the grill or oven and season the yolks with fresh black pepper and a pinch of salt. Remove the pizza from the pan, slice into four pieces and serve warm.

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 sweet onions, sliced
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, rested at room temperature for 4 hours
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 ounces grated Parmesan
One 24-ounce container Yukon gold and garlic mashed potatoes, preferably Good & Gather, at room temperature
6 strips cooked bacon, sliced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
1/4 cup Greek yogurt, loosened slightly with water
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a slow cooker on low, add the onions, 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every hour or so, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 hours. Cook uncovered for the last hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll the dough out to fit an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet or a large round pizza pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and pierce the dough with a fork all over to minimize bubbles. Bake the dough, checking every few minutes to ensure it doesn't burn, until lightly golden in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
  • In a medium bowl combine the Monterey Jack and Parmesan. Add half of the cheese mixture to the mashed potatoes.
  • Top the dough in an even layer with the mashed potato mixture. Add the caramelized onions, bacon, chile flakes and the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with a drizzle of the yogurt and sprinkle with the chives.

SUNNY'S STYLE HOMEMADE PIZZA...ON THE STONE



Sunny's Style Homemade Pizza...on the Stone image

When I was going to school at ASU, I was manager of a pizza and pasta joint called Sunnys. Since then the ownership has changed and last time I was there the pizza was awful but in its hey day watch out... My mom makes great dough but mine lacks so I buy a doughball for a buck down the street it's your option. Also the recipe shows for pepperoni but go nuts. Just remember, if you are using fresh spinach put it on under the cheese or it will burn.
