Pizza with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
Two 8-ounce pieces of homemade or purchased Pizza Dough, recipe follows
6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/3 cups, grated pasteurized mozzarella
2 Roma tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 large garlic clove, minced, optional
6 fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Position 1 oven rack in the center and the second rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle the cornmeal over 2 rimless baking sheets. Roll out each piece of Pizza Dough into a 10 to 11-inch-diameter round. Transfer 1 dough to each prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle 2 teaspoons of oil over each Pizza Dough. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the Pizza Dough, dividing equaling and leaving a 1-inch border around each pizza. Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer over the cheese. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Arrange basil leaves on top, drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle garlic all over. Bake the pizzas until the crusts are crisp and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top, about 15 minutes. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil over each pizza. Sprinkle with basil for garnish and salt. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
  • Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and divide into 2 equal balls. (The dough can be used immediately or stored airtight in the refrigerator for 1 day.)

TOMATO AND ROASTED GARLIC PIZZA PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Tomato And Roasted Garlic Pizza Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: garlic, olive oil, Walmart Beefsteak Slicing Tomatoes, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, refrigerated pizza dough, shredded gruyère cheese, grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, fresh thyme leaf

Provided by Walmart

Categories     Lunch

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 ½ lb Walmart Beefsteak Slicing Tomatoes
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
12 oz refrigerated pizza dough, rolled out to a 12 in circle
1 ½ cups shredded gruyère cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, fresh
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaf, plus ½ tablespoon whole leaves, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Peel the outer papery layers off of the head of garlic. Slice the top ½ inch off of the bulb and place on a small square of foil. Drizzle the top with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap tightly in the foil and set in a ramekin or small baking dish. Set aside while you prepare the tomatoes.
  • Slice the Walmart tomatoes crosswise into ¼-inch rounds, discarding the stems. Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping slightly if needed. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Place the tomatoes and garlic in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and dry looking on top and the garlic cloves are golden brown and soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Leave the oven on.
  • Lay the pizza dough round in a 9-inch springform pan and gently press against the bottom, letting the dough go about 2 inches up the sides. Using a fork, gently press the sides of the dough against the pan, and then prick the bottom of the dough a few times.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, until the dough is just starting to puff up and set. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Gently remove 8 cloves of roasted garlic from the bulb. Roughly chop 6 cloves, and thinly slice the remaining 2 lengthwise.
  • Add the chopped garlic, Gruyère, parmesan, mayonnaise, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and chopped thyme to a medium bowl and stir until well combined.
  • Spoon half of the cheese mixture onto the pizza crust and gently smooth in an even layer. Using a spatula, transfer half of the roasted tomatoes onto the cheese and press very gently into an even layer. Repeat with the remaining cheese and tomatoes. Sprinkle the sliced roasted garlic on top.
  • Bake the pizza pie for 45-60 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges of the pan with foil. Remove from the oven and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Garnish with the whole thyme leaves, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST HOMEMADE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make The Best Homemade Pizza Recipe by Tasty image

Making homemade pizza dough can sound like a lot of work, but it's so worth the bragging rights. The dough itself requires few ingredients and just a little bit of rising and rest time. While you wait for the dough to be ready, you can get to work prepping your tomato sauce, chopping fresh vegetables, or grating the cheese you'll put on top. Bake for 15 minutes, garnish with basil (or, let's be real, more cheese), and enjoy showing off your way-better-than-takeout creation.

Provided by Brenda Blanco

Categories     Dinner

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ½ cups warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
7 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ cup semolina flour
28 oz canned whole tomatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
tomato sauce
fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
fresh basil leaf
extra virgin olive oil
fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
ricotta cheese
fresh basil pesto
dried oregano
tomato sauce
fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
spicy pepperoni slice
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • "Bloom" the yeast by sprinkling the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and bloomed yeast mixture. Using a spoon, mix until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  • Once the flour is mostly hydrated, turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead for 10-15 minutes. The dough should be soft, smooth, and bouncy. Form the dough into a taut round.
  • Grease a clean, large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for another minute or so, then cut into 4 equal portions and shape into rounds.
  • Lightly flour the dough, then cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for another 30 minutes to an hour while you prepare the sauce and any other ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven as high as your oven will allow, between 450-500˚F (230-260˚C). Place a pizza stone, heavy baking sheet (turn upside down so the surface is flat), or cast iron skillet in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Add the salt to the can of tomatoes and puree with an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
  • Once the dough has rested, take a portion and start by poking the surface with your fingertips, until bubbles form and do not deflate.
  • Then, stretch and press the dough into a thin round. Make it thinner than you think it should be, as it will slightly shrink and puff up during baking.
  • Sprinkle semolina onto an upside down baking sheet and place the stretched crust onto it. Add the sauce and ingredients of your choice.
  • Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust and cheese are golden brown.
  • Add any garnish of your preference.

EASY TOMATO PIZZAS



Easy tomato pizzas image

These colourful, flavour-packed pizzas are low-fat and delicious too

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 8 small pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 7

450g strong white bread flour , plus more to dust
7g sachet fast-action yeast
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil , plus extra to serve
350ml warm water
about 5 tbsp roast tomato sauce (see tip below), or stir together 100ml passata and a crushed garlic clove
8 tomatoes (green, orange, red, yellow - all different shapes and sizes)
your choice of toppings: goat's cheese (with rind), grated Parmesan or Parmesan shavings, handful rocket, prosciutto

Steps:

  • For the dough, put the flour, yeast and 2 tsp salt into a large bowl and mix. Make a well. Mix the oil and water in a jug, then tip into the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to work the liquid into the flour - it will seem pretty wet. Set the bowl aside for 15 mins. Leaving the dough like this will save you from lengthy kneading later.
  • Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface, flour your hands, then knead it very gently for about 2 mins until it is fairly even, soft and bouncy. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with oiled cling film, then let it rise in a warm place (or in the fridge overnight) until doubled in size.
  • When ready to cook, heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 or as hot as it will go, then put a baking sheet in on a high shelf. Dust another sheet with flour. Split the dough into 8, then roll 3 balls thinly into rough circles. Lift onto the floured sheet. Smear over a thin layer of the sauce, scatter over a few slices of tomato, season, then add sliced goat's or grated Parmesan cheese if you want to. Slide the sheet on top of the heated sheet. Bake for 12 mins or until golden and crisp and the tomatoes are starting to caramelise around the edges. Top with any fresh toppings, then drizzle with more olive oil to serve.

Use this easy, chunky tomato sauce recipe when making our Basic Pizza.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 diced onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of sugar (optional)
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Cook onion and garlic until translucent, stirring, 3 minutes.
  • Add whole, peeled tomatoes (lightly crushed with hands), crushed tomatoes, oregano, and a pinch of sugar (optional).
  • Simmer, stirring until thickened, 10 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Freeze any leftover sauce for up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your pizza. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful cheese, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Make sure your pizza dough is cooked through: A properly cooked pizza dough should be golden brown and crispy on the bottom. If the dough is not cooked through, it will be chewy and difficult to eat.
  • Don't overload your pizza with toppings: Too many toppings can make your pizza soggy and difficult to cook. Stick to a few simple toppings that you enjoy.
  • Bake your pizza at a high temperature: The high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.
  • Let your pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it: This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
