RANCH PIZZA PIE



Ranch Pizza Pie image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (two 12-inch pies)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium red bell peppers, finely diced
2 medium yellow bell peppers, finely diced
2 pounds loose breakfast sausage
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Two 17.3-ounce packages frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg (see Cook's Note)
4 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
48 pepperoni slices
18 slices mozzarella

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 20 minutes. Stir in the oregano, garlic and red and yellow peppers and cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the sausage meat into small bits, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to about 13 inches long and 10 inches wide. Place one of the puff pastry pieces on each lined baking sheet; set aside the other two. Whisk the egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water.
  • Sprinkle 2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese over one of the puff pastry sheets on a baking sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the pastry. Continue layering with half the caramelized onions and peppers, sausage and pepperoni; finish with half the mozzarella slices. Brush the border of the puff pastry with the egg wash, lay one of the remaining puff pastry pieces over top and use a fork to crimp the edges. Using a sharp paring knife, cut three 1 1/2-inch vents in the top. Put the pie into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes before cooking. Repeat with the other puff pastry pieces and layering ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Brush one of the pies with the egg wash. Bake on the bottom rack until the pastry is nicely browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Wrap the second pie in plastic wrap on the baking sheet, then in aluminum foil; freeze. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unwrap the pie and brush it with egg wash. Bake from frozen on the bottom rack until the pastry is nicely browned, about 30 minutes.

PIZZA RUSTICA (EASTER PIE)



Pizza Rustica (Easter Pie) image

A deep-dish cousin to quiche that's packed with Italian deli meats and cheeses like prosciutto, pepperoni, soppressata, mozzarella and provolone, this rich pie, also called Easter pie, is traditionally made on Good Friday and served on the holiday to celebrate the end of Lent. This version came to The Times from Carlo's Bakery, in Hoboken, N.J., of "Cake Boss" fame, and it is the only savory item the bakery makes. It's typically eaten at room temperature, but the staff at Carlo's enjoys it warm right out of the oven.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, pies and tarts, pizza and calzones, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield One 10-by-15-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound chilled salted butter, cut into large pieces
5 large eggs, beaten
12 ounces prosciutto, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces boiled ham, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces pepperoni, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces soppressata, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces mozzarella, in 1/4-inch dice
8 ounces provolone, in 1/4-inch dice
2 pounds ricotta
4 ounces grated pecorino Romano
10 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, beaten, for brushing crust

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 6 cups flour and the salt. Using a pastry cutter, large fork, or two knives, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and knead for 1 minute. Add about 1 1/4 cups ice water, a little at a time, to form a cohesive dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it forms a large smooth ball, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Mix the meats, cheeses, the 10 eggs and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the dough into two pieces: two-thirds for the bottom crust and one-third for the top. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger portion of the dough into a rectangle to line the bottom and sides of a 10-by-15-inch glass baking dish, with some overhang. Add the filling and smooth it lightly. Moisten the edges of the dough with a little water.
  • Roll out the remaining dough to cover the top of the dish with some overhang. Trim off excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Poke several sets of holes across the top with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush top and edges with the beaten egg, then return to the oven until golden brown, another 45 minutes. Let pie cool completely before serving.

Easter Savory Pie (Pizza Rustica) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: warm water, sugar, olive oil, instant yeast, all-purpose flour, salt, large eggs, ricotta cheese, fresh parsley, grated pecorino romano, ham, pepperoni, provolone cheese, salami, prosciutto, bread crumbs, large egg

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon instant yeast
5 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
10 large eggs
16 oz ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
4 oz grated pecorino romano
8 oz ham, boiled, cubed
8 oz pepperoni, cubed
8 oz provolone cheese, cubed
8 oz salami, hard, cubed
4 oz prosciutto, chopped
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, olive oil, and instant yeast.
  • Add the flour and salt, and mix the dough together with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball. Then knead the dough for 1 minute, or until it feels smooth and springy.
  • Cover the dough in the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a large bowl, add 10 eggs, ricotta, parsley, and Pecorino Romano. Whisk the mixture until smooth.
  • Add the ham, pepperoni, provolone, hard salami, prosciutto, and bread crumbs. Fold in the cubed meats and cheeses. The texture should be thick and slightly wet.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, dump it onto a floured surface, knead for 2 minutes, and shape it into a ball. Roll the dough out to a rough circle, about ¼-inch (½-cm) thick.
  • With a pizza cutter or knife, cut out a large disc that is 2 inches (5-cm) wider than a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan or round baking dish. With the rest of the dough, cut thick strips about 9 inches (23-cm) long and 1 inch (2 cm) thick.
  • Transfer the dough disc into the springform pan or baking dish. Gently press the dough against the bottom and sides of the pan, allowing the excess to hang over the sides.
  • Pour the egg, cheese, and meat mixture into the pan. Pack the filling down and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Weave the strips of dough on top to create a decorative pattern. Trim any excess dough, then fold and crimp the edges. Brush the top with egg wash.
  • Bake the pizza rustica for 2 hours, or until the filling is cooked through and the pizza dough has browned.
  • Let the the pizza rustica cool completely. Remove from the pan. Chill in the refrigerator overnight on a wire rack.
  • Enjoy!

PIZZA POT PIE



Pizza Pot Pie image

Inspired by the famous pizza pot pie served at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co., we dreamed up a homemade version with the same oozy cheese goodness by using store-bought pizza dough and extra-melty sliced Havarti from the deli case.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces store-bought pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 green bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
One 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces sliced Havarti

Steps:

  • Put the pizza dough in a medium bowl and coat well with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour depending on the dough.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the garlic, bell peppers and onions in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the moisture has evaporated from the pan and the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the marinara sauce, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until thick, about 15 minutes.
  • Brush the sides and lip of a 1-quart (6-inch) ramekin with the butter. Line the bottom and sides with the Havarti. Fill with 1 1/2 cups of the hot marinara-sausage sauce. Reserve the remaining sauce for another use. Gently pull and stretch the pizza dough into a 10-inch circle and place it over the ramekin, leaving a 2-inch overhang all around. Gently press around the edges of the ramekin to lightly seal. Put on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and the top sounds hollow when you tap it, about 30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, transfer the ramekin to a heatproof surface and place a plate on top. Carefully invert the ramekin onto the plate, using a spoon to gently pry the dough from the dish. Serve hot.

Time 10h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ricotta cheese
2 pounds bulk Italian sausage
5 large eggs, beaten
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
¼ pound prosciutto, chopped
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 pounds prepared pizza dough
1 egg
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Place a piece of cheesecloth into a strainer, and place the ricotta cheese into the cheesecloth. Set a bowl underneath the strainer to catch drips, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight, to allow moisture to drip from ricotta.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place sausage into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease, and allow sausage to cool.

  • Divide the pizza dough into fourths, and roll out 2 of the pieces into 12-inch circles. Fit the circles into 2 10-inch pie plates, leaving 1 inch of dough hanging over the edge. Divide the filling between the 2 pies. Roll out 2 top crusts, place onto the pies, and fold the edges of the bottom crusts over the edges of the top crusts to seal. Crimp and flute the edges of the pie crusts.
  • Beat 1 egg with water in a small bowl, and brush the egg wash over the tops and edges of both pies. Cut several slits into the top crusts to vent steam.
  • Bake pies in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to bake until the crust is browned and the filling is hot, 45 to 50 more minutes. Serve at room temperature.

An Italian recipe that's made with love and takes a little longer to prepare, but the end result is worth every minute. The outcome is a beautiful and delicious Pizza Chena.

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 20

DOUGH
ok, I cannot tell a lie...I used Pillsbury ready pie crust to save time. But by all means feel free to make your own.
1 packet of active dry yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 c warm water
5-6 c all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp olive oil
FILLING
1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage (or hot if you prefer) removed from the casing
3 eggs, beaten
2 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
1 lb ricotta cheese
1/3 lb fresh mozzarella, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 c grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/4 lb prosciutto (or American ham if you prefer), sliced and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 lb genoa salami, sliced and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 lb pepperoni, sliced and cut into 1 inch pieces
parsley flakes and pepper, to taste (you can add a little salt, to taste but remember the meats are salty so don't add too much salt)
1 egg yolk for egg wash

Steps:

  • 1. For the dough... In a large bowl, dissolve in two cups of water, yeast, sugar, and salt and gently blend.
  • 2. After the yeast has dissolved, add 5 cups of flour and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Blend with a spoon until the dough starts to form.
  • 3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes. (Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky.)
  • 4. Place dough in a large bowl and coat with a little olive oil. Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
  • 5. While the dough is rising, start to prep your ingredients by cutting meats and grating cheese. Brown the sausage breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
  • 6. In a large bowl, add the three beaten eggs, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped eggs, meats, and seasonings. Mix well and set aside.
  • 7. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two pieces.
  • 8. Roll out one piece of the dough.
  • 9. Place the rolled out dough in a 10-inch springform pan sprayed with Pam. The dough should hang about an inch over the sides.
  • 10. Pour the filling into the pastry crust - mine filled to about an inch from the top.
  • 11. Roll the second piece of the dough and place the round crust on top of the filling. Cutaway any excess dough.
  • 12. Crimp around the edges - I used a fork. Cut two strips of leftover dough to make a cross. Place the dough cross on top of the Pizza Chena. Cut slits in dough to vent.
  • 13. Beat the egg yolk and brush on top of the Pizza Chena.
  • 14. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 - 75 minutes.
  • 15. Bake until golden brown and let cool. NOTE: Pizza Chena is best when made a day or two ahead of time. Let it cool and then store in the fridge. Bring to room temp before serving!

Yield Makes one 13 3/4-by-9 1/2-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

Pizza Piena Dough
8 large eggs
2 pounds fresh ricotta cheese
7 ounces sweet Italian dry sausage, very finely chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound fresh unsalted mozzarella cheese, chopped
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 large egg yolk, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out larger disk of dough into an 1/8-inch thick rectangle about 19 by 15 inches. Fit into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish leaving a 1-inch overhang; set aside.
  • Roll out second smaller disk of dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut four 15-by-1-inch strips; set aside. Cut remaining dough into three 11-by-1-inch strips; set aside.

  • With the long end of the baking dish facing you, place the three 11-inch strips of dough vertically over the top of the filling, spacing evenly apart. Starting in the middle, weave one of the 15-inch strips over and under the vertical strips (folding back every other vertical strip makes this easier). Continue weaving the remaining three 15-inch strips until lattice is complete. Fold over the overhanging pieces of dough and press with a fork to seal.
  • Brush dough with egg yolk and transfer to oven. Bake until golden brown, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Cooking spray, for coating the baking dish
24 ounces pizza sauce
30 ounces fresh ravioli or tortelloni
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack blend
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Begin to layer with half the pasta (uncooked), half of the remaining sauce, half of the mozzarella, half of the Cheddar blend, a pinch of Italian seasoning and some red chile flakes and black pepper. Repeat the layers a second time.
  • Press the layers down to level and add 1/2 cup water to the dish along the sides (to not mess up the top). Top with the pepperoni. Sprinkle over some red chile flakes and another pinch of Italian seasoning and black pepper.

EASY AS PIE 10-MINUTE NO-RISE THIN-CRUST PIZZA DOUGH



Easy As Pie 10-Minute No-Rise Thin-Crust Pizza Dough image

This came from one of the volumes in my e-cookbook collection-- it's meant to yield one 12" pizza but I get about two 8" or 9" individual pizzas with it. You can bake the raw dough with sauce and cheese on it but I prefer to bake ahead and freeze the crusts so I can just thaw it out then put sauce and toppings on. According to the instructions, you can use regular all-purpose flour if you don't have bread flour. (1 3/4 cups AP flour + 5 1/4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten = 1 3/4 cups bread flour)

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 20m

Yield 2 9" crusts, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup warm water
1/4 teaspoon honey (or sugar)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 3/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Proof the yeast in the warm water with the honey or sugar for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients together and knead well, about 2-5 minutes.
  • If the dough seems a little sticky, dust your hands with some flour and knead again.
  • Grease a pizza pan or pie pan with cooking spray, and place the dough into it-- entire thing if a 12" pie, or half for an 8" or 9" pan.
  • I prefer to bake these crusts ahead of time-- but if you want to eat it now, you can put the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc. on it and use the same baking instructions.
  • Bake at 500F for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are nice and brown.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 58m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 teaspoons yeast
½ cup warm water
2 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ⅓ cups water, divided
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and diced
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup brown sugar, divided
½ cup unsalted butter
⅔ dash all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Combine yeast and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, olive oil, and salt; mix until smooth. Add 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; mix until just combined and dough forms a ball. Allow to rest, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add apples; cook and stir until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Mix remaining 1/3 cup water and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved; pour into saucepan with apples. Stir continuously until filling is thickened, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Place dough on the baking sheet; stretch to cover most of the sheet. Poke the surface all over with a fork. Distribute 1/2 cup brown sugar over the dough; spread apple filling on top.
  • Beat butter in a bowl until fluffy. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg until topping is just combined. Sprinkle topping over pizza.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and ripe tomatoes make all the difference.
  • Make your own pizza dough from scratch for a more authentic taste and texture. It's easier than you think and only requires a few simple ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature to get a crispy crust and melted cheese. A pizza stone or baking steel is a great way to achieve this.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese to set and prevent the slices from falling apart.
