CHEESE PIZZA



Cheese Pizza image

This plain pie tastes anything but basic. Start with my homemade pizza dough and marinara sauce recipes, so you can make this plus many more pizzas. I put the cheese down first to protect the dough from getting soggy from the sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for the surface
One 6-ounce ball pizza dough, at room temperature
3 to 4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, sliced
1 tablespoon Sicilian (or regular dried) oregano (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup marinara sauce, at room temperature
Olive oil, for topping, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to bake the pizza to get the stone nice and hot.
  • Generously sprinkle a flat work surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or unrimmed baking sheet so it can slide right onto the pizza stone in the oven. (I use the bottom of a baking sheet.)
  • Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the oregano, then gently spread the marinara sauce on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust (my favorite part!).
  • Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Use the peel or baking sheet to slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. The heat from the stone will cook the bottom of the pizza and the boiler will char and cook the top, mimicking a Neapolitan pizza oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is evenly crisped, 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Slice the hot pizza and serve immediately.

'SLICE' OF PIZZA

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Olive oil, for the baking sheet
All-purpose flour, for rolling
3/4 cup store-bought marinara sauce
8 ounces sliced mozzarella
4 ounces fontina, grated
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
18 large pepperoni slices

Steps:

  • For the 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 in the dough. 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 overnight in the fridge. (The dough will last for 3 or 4 days refrigerated.)
  • For the pizza: Arrange an oven rack in the lowest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Oil a large baking sheet.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and form into a large wedge shape. Fold in the edges to make it a perfect wedge. Fold the "crust" end to make it a little thicker. Transfer the wedge to the prepared baking sheet. Spread with the marinara sauce and top with the mozzarella, fontina, goat cheese and Pecorino-Romano. Top with the pepperoni.
  • Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes, watching to make sure the crust doesn't burn. Serve immediately.
