Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 52m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 (8.5-ounce) boxes cornbread mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, at room temperature
10 large pimiento-stuffed green olives, coarsely chopped to yield 1/2 cup
5 scallions, light green and white parts only, finely chopped to yield 1/2 cup
1 cup grated mozzarella

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Liberally spray an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cornbread mix, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, olives, scallions, and cheese until the mixture forms a thick, lumpy batter. Using a spatula spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and serve.
  • Cook's Note: To remove the cooked cornbread easily from the baking dish, first line the bottom and sides with 2 pieces of parchment paper, each 7 inches wide and 15 inches long, allowing the excess parchment paper to overhang the sides. When cooked and cooled, use the excess parchment paper as handles to remove the cornbread from the pan. Peel away the parchment paper and cut into squares.

JIM LAHEY'S NO-KNEAD PIZZA MARGHERITA



Jim Lahey's No-Knead Pizza Margherita image

This is a great recipe for a simple, thin crust pizza. It's from Jim Lahey (of no-knead bread fame) who now runs a popular NYC pizzeria called Co. The recipe was printed in New York Magazine (Jul 12, 2009). If you don't have a pizza stone, this works well in a cast iron skillet. The recipe requires very little time and effort but the dough must be started the day before.

Time 36m

Yield 3-4 10-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour or 3 cups bread flour, more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups water
1 vine-ripened tomatoes (about 5 oz.) or 1 heirloom tomato (about 5 oz.)
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons tomato sauce
2 ounces buffalo mozzarella (about 1/4 ball)
basil leaves
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • To make dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt. Add water and stir until blended (the dough will be very sticky). Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 12 to 24 hours in a warm spot, about 70 degrees.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top with flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into 3 or 4 balls, depending on how thick you want the crust. Generously sprinkle a clean cotton towel with flour and cover the dough with it. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
  • To make sauce: Blanch tomato for 5 seconds in boiling water and quickly remove. Allow to cool to the touch. Peel the skin with your hands and quarter the tomato. Remove the jelly and seeds, and reserve in a strainer or fine sieve. Strain the jelly to remove seeds, and combine resulting liquid in a bowl with the flesh of the tomatoes. Proceed to crush the tomatoes with your hands. Add salt and olive oil and stir.
  • To make pizza: Place pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat on high broil. Stretch or toss the dough into a disk approximately 10 inches in diameter. Pull rack out of oven and place the dough on top of the preheated pizza stone. Drizzle 5 generous tablespoons of sauce over the dough, and spread evenly. Try to keep the sauce about ½ inch away from the perimeter of the dough. Break apart or slice the buffalo mozzarella and arrange over the dough. Return rack and pizza stone to the middle of the oven and broil for approximately 6 minutes. Remove and top with basil, olive oil, and salt.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mozzarella cheese. Fresh mozzarella will melt evenly and provide a gooey, flavorful topping for your pizza.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the cornbread batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help the cornbread cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the cornbread will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the cornbread until it is golden brown. The cornbread should be cooked through and have a golden brown crust.
  • Top the cornbread with your favorite pizza toppings. You can use any type of pizza toppings you like, such as sauce, cheese, vegetables, or meat.
  • Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The pizza should be cooked through and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the pizza to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella cornbread pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet cornbread, melted mozzarella cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give mozzarella cornbread pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
