Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ (12 ounce) can CONTADINA® Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes FLEISCHMANN'S® Pizza Crust Yeast or RapidRise® Yeast

⅓ cup oil
1 (6 ounce) package HORMEL® Pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
  • For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
  • Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
  • Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
  • For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

BASIC PEPPERONI PIZZA AND FOUR CHEESE PIZZA



Basic Pepperoni Pizza and Four Cheese Pizza image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pizza.
  • Make sure your dough is well-kneaded. This will help it to be chewy and flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. This will make it soggy and difficult to cook.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running off.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni pizza is a classic for a reason. It's delicious, easy to make, and loved by people of all ages. Whether you're making it from scratch or using a pre-made crust, following these tips will help you make the best pepperoni pizza possible. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
