Time 33m

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb refrigerated bread dough (No-Knead Flatbreads - Master Recipe (Pizza, Naan, Focaccia), grapefruit size piece)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces pepperoni, sliced (to taste)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup diced chicken breast, cooked
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
pickeled jalapeno pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (to taste)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces deli ham, sliced

Steps:

  • Use the refrigerated pre-mixed dough for No-Knead Flatbreads Recipe #387518.
  • Prepare 2 large baking sheet pans with parchment or Silpats, set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove the Olive Oil Flatbread dough (Recipe #387518) from the refrigerator. Lighly dust the surface with flour and cut off a 1 pound (grapefruit size) piece.
  • With lightly floured hands quickly shape dough into a ball by streching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter turn as you go.
  • On a lightly floured board, flatten the dough, with hands and rolling pin, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle, dusting with minimal flour if necessary to keep dough from sticking to the rolling pin. If difficulty is experienced in rolling out the dough, allow it to rest for a few minutes. I've found that pulling the dough with my hands works best.
  • Spread the sauce on the dough, then cheese and top with meat, leaving some of the cheese exposed so that it can help hold the roll together as it bakes.
  • Starting with the long end roll the dough into a log.
  • NOTE: Cut only the number of pieces you want to bake. The rest can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
  • Using kitchen shears, cut the dough into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Place them on the prepared sheet, leaving plenty of space for them to expand when they bake.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted and caramelized a bit.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 7m

Yield 4 1 pound loaves

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt or 1 tablespoon table salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (29.25 oz.)

Steps:

  • Mixing and Storing the Dough:.
  • Note: If measuring flour rather than weighing, don't press down into the flour as you scoop it in with dry-ingredient measuring cups, By gently scooping up flour, then sweeping the top level with a knife or spatula.you willl get a more accurate measurement.
  • In large plastic storage container (with lid) mix together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
  • Add all the water and olive oil at once and mix with a wooden spoon.
  • If mixing becomes too difficult to incorporate all the flour with the spoon, reach into the mixing bowl with very wet hands and press the mixture together. Note: kneading isn't necessary.
  • When everything is uniformly moist without dry patches your mixing is complete. This should take only a few minutes.
  • The dough will be wet and loose enough to conform to the shape of its container.
  • Cover with a lid (not airtight) that fits well on the container. Allow the mixture to rise at room temperature until it begins to collapse, or at least flattens on the top, about 2 hours, depending on the room's temperature and the initial water temperature. Longer rising times, up to about 5 hours, will not harm the result.
  • You can use a portion of the dough anytime after this period. Fully refrigerated wet dough is less sticky and easier to work with than dough at room temperature. So the first time you try this method, it's best to refrigerate the dough overnight, or at least 3 hours, before shaping a loaf.
  • The breads flavor improves with the retardation, so suggest you wait at least 24 hours before baking the first loaf! Dough may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 days.
