Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling bowl
1/2 to 3/4 cup store-bought or homemade Pizza Sauce, recipe follows
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
1 cup pepperoni pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
One 3.5-ounce jar pesto
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
4 ounces fontina, grated
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/4 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 pint red grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
16 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade, plus more if needed
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup chicken broth
Three 15-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
Pinch sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • For the pizza dough: Sprinkle the active dry yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm--not lukewarm--water.
  • In a mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
  • Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and tip the dough in. Form a ball and toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 or 4 days refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • To prepare the dough for the pizza assembly: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out one part as thinly as possible and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
  • For the basic pepperoni pizza: Spread the sauce over the pizza base. Top with the sliced mozzarella and pepperoni.
  • For the four cheese pizza: Drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper. Pour the jar of pesto onto the dough and spread evenly. Add the mozzarella, fontina, goat cheese and Pecorino Romano.
  • Bake both pizzas until the crusts are golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For the tomato basil salad: While the pizzas are baking, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a small skillet. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute and removing it from the heat before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour it into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, balsamic, basil and some salt and pepper to the bowl. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed. Set aside.
  • Top the four cheese pizza with the tomato basil salad. Cut the pizzas into slices and serve.
  • Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil into a hot pan over medium-high heat. Throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir. Cook until the onions are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of sugar. Add the dried oregano and basil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

PEPPERONI PIZZADILLA

Categories     Sauce     Side     Low Fat

Yield makes 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (about 8-inch-diameter) reduced-fat, whole-wheat flour tortilla (do not use a reduced-carb one)
1 1/2 ounces (scant 1/2 cup) finely shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (no more than 3 g fat per ounce; I used Lucerne, found at Safeway chains)
6 slices turkey pepperoni
1 tablespoon canned, drained, sliced black olives
2 pinches dried oregano
2 tablespoons low-fat marinara or pizza sauce (lower-sodium if possible), reheated if necessary

Steps:

  • Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, put the tortilla in the pan (no need to add any fat). Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over half the tortilla, followed by the pepperoni, the olives, the oregano, and the remaining cheese. Fold the bare half over the filling. Cook the tortilla until the cheese on the bottom half is mostly melted and the tortilla is lightly browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Then, using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla. Continue cooking it until the cheese is completely melted and the bottom is lightly browned in spots.
  • Slice the quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve immediately with marinara on the side for dipping.

Provided by Hannah Bishop

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 10 inch flour tortillas
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
30 slice pepperoni (can use more or less)
1 medium bell pepper, sliced
1/2 medium red onion, sliced
1 can(s) black olives, sliced
1 can(s) mushrooms, sliced
pizza sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Prep the ingredients by thinly slicing the vegetables and draining the olives and mushrooms. For each pizzadilla measure 1/3 cup of shredded cheese.

  • 2. Place the pizzadilla in a skillet over medium heat and cook until brown and crispy on the bottom. Carefully flip the pizzadilla over and cook until brown and crispy on the second side. Once both sides are crisp and the cheese is melted inside, slice into thirds with a pizza cutter.
  • 3. Dip in sauce and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) before baking the pizzadilla.
  • If you don't have pizza dough, you can use a tortilla or flatbread as a base.
  • To make the pizzadilla more flavorful, add some garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Be generous with the cheese! The more cheese, the better.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizzadilla with toppings. Too many toppings will make it soggy.
