TRIPLE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 recipe Foolproof Pizza Dough, recipe follows
4 tablespoons Pizza Sauce, recipe follows
1 ounce fresh mozzarella, torn
3 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1 ounce provolone, shredded
10 to 15 pepperoni slices
1 teaspoon Garlic Butter, recipe follows
1 teaspoon instant or active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
One 15-ounce can crushed Italian plum tomatoes in thick puree
One 15-ounce can plum tomato strips
1/2 cup basil chiffonade
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon Calabrian chile paste
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
1 teaspoon sugar
4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
3 1/2 sticks salted butter
16 cloves garlic, finely pressed
Coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Brush a sheet pan with olive oil.
  • Roll out the dough ball, then transfer to the sheet pan. Spoon on the pizza sauce and spread it around, then top with the fresh mozzarella.
  • Mix together the shredded mozzarella and provolone in a bowl, then sprinkle over the pizza.
  • Place the pepperoni all over the top. Bake until done, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush the crust with garlic butter, then serve.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on low speed and drizzle in the oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a sticky mass.
  • Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat the dough in the oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for at least 1 or up to 2 hours at room temperature, or store in the fridge until you need it, up to 4 days ahead. Bring the refrigerated dough to room temperature before using.
  • Cook's Note: The dough is best made at least 24 hours in advance, and 3 or 4 days is even better.
  • Add the plum tomatoes, tomato strips, basil, oil, chile paste, salt, sugar and garlic to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, then add the garlic and salt. Cook for a couple of minutes to release the flavor, but don't let the garlic brown.

THREE-CHEESE WHITE PIZZA



Three-Cheese White Pizza image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 servings (two 12-inch pizzas)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowls
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Kosher salt
2/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano or rosemary
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Combine the yeast, 1 cup warm water (about 100 degrees F) and the sugar in a food processor and pulse once to combine. Let sit until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the olive oil; pulse to combine. Mix the flour and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl; add to the food processor and pulse until the dough pulls away from the side and gathers around the blade.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into 2 even balls. Transfer to 2 lightly oiled bowls; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours. (You can make the dough ahead; wrap in plastic and refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Set a pizza stone or large baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Meanwhile, make the topping: Combine the ricotta, parmesan, olive oil, garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes in a bowl; season with salt and set aside.
  • Stretch 1 ball of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured pizza peel or inverted baking sheet. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with half of the mozzarella, then brush the edge lightly with olive oil.
  • Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool 2 minutes before slicing. Repeat to make the second pizza.

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

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.

Categories     Entree

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
2/3 cup very hot water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 smoked string cheese pieces (from 4- or 8-oz package), cut lengthwise in half
1/4 cup Italian-style tomato paste
1 small onion, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into thin slices
1/2 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 can (2 1/4 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained, if desired
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)

Steps:

  • In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, water and oil until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 20 strokes. Let stand 8 minutes.
  • Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 450°F. Grease 12-inch pizza pan with shortening or cooking spray. Press dough on bottom and 1 inch over side of pizza pan. Place string cheese along edge of dough. Fold 1 inch edge of dough over and around cheese; press to seal. Bake 7 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality mozzarella cheese that will melt well and provide a gooey texture to the pizza.
  • Shred your own cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. This will make it soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza on a hot pizza stone or baking sheet. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Keep an eye on the pizza while it's baking and remove it from the oven as soon as the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from sliding off the crust.

Conclusion:

This pepperoni three-cheese white pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy white sauce, gooey cheese, and savory pepperoni combine to create a pizza that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
