Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (18 ounce) package polenta (pre-cooked)
2 teaspoons italian seasoning (divided)
1 tablespoon filtered water
1 tablespoon arrowroot
2 tablespoons wheat flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup romano cheese (grated)
4 slices smoked tempeh (cut into small pieces)
1 cup prepared spaghetti sauce (You could also use pizza sauce)
1/2 cup broccoli, heads (thinly sliced)
3 scallions (cut in small slices)
1 roasted pepper (I used the the sweet roasted ones in a jar)
1 cup goat mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450'F.
  • Spray a 12 inch pizza pan with oil.
  • Remove the polenta from its package and drain off the water. Cut it up in pieces and put into the food processor.
  • Process the polenta. It will be crumbly. Add in the water, arrowroot flour, Italian herbs, garlic powder and 1/4 cup Romano cheese. Process again until a doughy mixture is obtained.
  • Using a spatula, scoop the polenta onto the oiled pizza pan. Spray your hands with oil and pat the polenta into the pizza pan making sure you get it evenly as possible.
  • Bake it in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • While its cooking, cut up your broccoli heads, scallion and pepper.
  • When the polenta crust is done remove and top with the spaghetti sauce, tempeh, pepper, broccoli and scallions, cheeses and Italian herbs.
  • Put back into the oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove when done, let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Bon Appetit!

Categories     Bread     Pizza Dough and Crust Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ teaspoon brown sugar
1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour.
  • Turn dough out onto a clean, well floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out. Use for your favorite pizza recipe.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.
  • Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST



Quick and Easy Pizza Crust image

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!
