Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
3/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 3/4 to 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional for kneading and dredging
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more for sprinkling
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing dough
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
White Anchovy Caesar Salad, recipe follows
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 small red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Spicy Caesar Dressing, recipe follows
12 white anchovies in brine
Chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 tablespoon prepared mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons pureed canned chipotles
Few dashes Worcestershire sauce
Few dashes hot pepper sauce
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, drained
6 anchovy fillets
8 cloves garlic, roasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes to proof. Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in large bowl with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and 2 teaspoons oil, and stir until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover and put in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half, and set aside half for another use or for the Grilled Shrimp and Cilantro Pesto Pizza. Then divide the half into 4 balls. Roll each ball into 8-inch circles. Brush 1 side of each circle with oil and then sprinkle with ancho chile powder and salt. Grill on both sides until golden brown. Make the salad and assemble as directed in the salad recipe.
  • Place romaine and onions in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss to coat. Mound the lettuce mixture onto each pizza and top with the anchovies and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
  • Put all the ingredients, except the salt, pepper, and oil, in a food processor or blender. Pulse until blended, and then season with salt and pepper, to taste. With the motor running, slowly add in the oil. If the dressing is too thick, add a little water.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield One 12-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 26

Semolina flour, for dusting
Pizza Dough, stretched into a 12-inch circle, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste
1 serrano chile, finely diced
Red pepper flakes, to taste
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Clover honey, if needed
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
8 ounces whole milk low-moisture mozzarella cheese, grated
1 bunch broccoli rabe, chopped, blanched and dried
6 white anchovies
1 fried egg, for serving
Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated, for garnish
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Fresh thyme, picked, for garnish
1/2 cup warm water (100 degrees F to 110 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 packet dry yeast
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for coating bowl

Steps:

  • Preheat a pizza stone in a 500 degree F oven. Dust the top of a pizza peel with semolina flour, and lay the pizza dough on top.
  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook the onions until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, serrano and red pepper flakes, 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Mash the tomatoes, using a masher. Season with salt, black pepper and honey, if using. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from the heat.
  • For assembling: Ladle a thin layer of sauce onto the pizza dough, and sprinkle the sliced and grated mozzarella on top. Arrange some of the broccoli rabe over the cheese. Season with salt and black pepper and bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, about 8 minutes. Arrange the anchovies on the pizza, top with the egg and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and garnish with chopped parsley and thyme.
  • Pour the warm water into a small bowl (if the water is too hot the yeast will die and if the water is too cold the yeast will not activate). Stir in the sugar and dry yeast to combine and let sit 15 minutes. The top of the water will bubble and smell very yeasty, this is what you want.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil and yeast water. Gradually stir the flour into the liquid, using a fork. Once most of the flour has been incorporated, turn the dough out onto a smooth, clean work surface dusted with bench flour. Use your hands to knead the dough to a smooth consistency.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, at least 1 hour 30 minutes. Portion the dough and stretch to the desired size.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for oiling the baking sheet
1 disc Pizza Dough, recipe follows
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus one 3-ounce chunk Parmesan, for shaving
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 head romaine lettuce, sliced into small pieces
Roasted Chicken Breast, recipe follows, sliced on the bias
Green Herb Dressing, recipe follows
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling the bowl
4 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 scant teaspoon ground thyme
1 scant teaspoon ground oregano
1 scant teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet.
  • Roll out one disc of the Pizza Dough on a floured surface as thinly as possible and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, salt and pepper.
  • Bake on the lowest oven rack until the crust is cooked through and the cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the lettuce in a large bowl and add the Roasted Chicken Breast slices. Use a vegetable peeler to shave off large, thin slices of Parmesan over the leaves. Drizzle about half of the Green Herb Dressing over the top and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing if needed.
  • Remove the pizza crust from the oven, place a generous amount of the salad on top, shave over extra Parmesan and serve.
  • Sprinkle the 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 the dough in. Form a ball and toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil. Divide into 2 balls. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 or 4 days refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil.
  • Put the chicken breasts on the prepared roasting pan, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the thyme, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Roast until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
  • Add the mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Pulse the processor or blend on low speed for several seconds. Scrape the sides and pulse again until everything is fairly smooth. With the food processor or blender running, drizzle in the olive oil in a small stream. Scrape the sides and mix again to thoroughly combine. Add the basil, parsley, Parmesan and some salt and pepper and blend until the herbs are chopped and the Parmesan is combined. The dressing will go green at this stage. Refrigerate the dressing for a few hours before using it on the salad.

Tips:

  • To make the red chile oil, use a high-quality olive oil and fresh red chiles. You can adjust the amount of chiles used to taste.
  • If you don't have white anchovies, you can use regular anchovies or another type of salty fish, such as sardines.
  • For a vegetarian version of this pizza, omit the anchovies and add some roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Be sure to use a high-quality mozzarella cheese that will melt well.
  • To get a crispy crust, bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  • If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a large baking sheet to transfer the pizza to the oven.

Conclusion:

This red chile white anchovy Caesar salad pizza is a delicious and unique twist on the classic Caesar salad. It's perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
