Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

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
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for greasing the bowl
8 ounces buffalo mozzarella, thinly sliced
Tomato-Red Pepper Sauce, recipe follows
12 ounces goat cheese, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Red Chili Oil, recipe follows
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 roasted red peppers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 cups canned plum tomatoes, with juice, pureed
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to proof. Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in a large bowl with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and oil and stir until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Grease a large bowl with the remaining oil, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover and place in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the grill to high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half, and divide each half into 2 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-inch circle. Brush with oil and grill on both sides until golden brown.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce on each pizza and top with goat cheese and basil. Place pizza on the grill and cook until bottom crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Remove from heat, drizzle with red chili oil, and serve.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add red peppers and tomatoes and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree in a food processor until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • In a blender, combine oil, red chili flakes, and salt; blend for 1 minute. Strain into a small bowl or squeeze bottle.

POTATO, GOAT CHEESE, CARAMELIZED ONION AND CHERRY TOMATO PIZZA



Potato, Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onion and Cherry Tomato Pizza image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One .25-ounce packet active dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the work surface
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for coating the bowl
1 large onion, caramelized
1 1/2 cups marble red potatoes, cooked and halved
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until it begins to foam.
  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Using a fork, incorporate the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, continue to work and then knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly coat a clean bowl with additional olive oil and add the dough, turning once to coat the dough in oil. Cover and set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 pieces, using 1 piece for the pizza. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze for another pizza.
  • For the pizza: Stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle that will fit on the grill pan. Add the dough to the hot grill pan and cook until stiff and bubbles start to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until grill marks form and the dough is completely cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Transfer the crust to a baking sheet and top the pizza with the onions, potatoes, tomatoes and goat cheese. Add the loaded pizza to the oven and cook until the cheese melts, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

WHITE BEAN, TOMATO AND GOAT-CHEESE PIZZA



White Bean, Tomato and Goat-Cheese Pizza image

Categories     Bread     Bean     Garlic     Tomato     Bake     Super Bowl     Quick & Easy     Goat Cheese     Rosemary     Arugula     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cornmeal for sprinkling
1 cup cannellini or other white beans (from a l-lb can), rinsed
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 tablespoon fat-free chicken broth or water
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb fresh or thawed frozen pizza dough
All-purpose flour for dusting
3 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 oz low-fat soft goat cheese, crumbled
2 cups small-leaf greens such as baby arugula or mâche

Steps:

  • Position oven rack on lowest shelf and preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly oil a 17- by 14-inch heavy baking sheet (without sides) and sprinkle with cornmeal, tapping off excess.
  • Pulse beans with garlic, broth, and 1 teaspoon oil in a food processor until coarsely chopped and season with salt and pepper.
  • Dust pizza dough and your hands with flour. Holding 1 edge of dough in the air with both hands and letting bottom touch work surface, move hands around edge (like turning a steering wheel), allowing weight of dough to stretch it roughly into a 10-inch round. Flour backs of your fists and with them stretch dough from center of underside, turning dough to maintain a rough circle, until 13 to 14 inches.
  • Place on baking sheet.
  • Spread bean purée over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edge. Top purée with tomatoes and onion, then sprinkle with rosemary and dot with cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake pizza on bottom oven rack until crust is browned and crisp and topping is bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss greens with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle over pizza.
  • Cut pizza into 8 slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your pizza the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A flavorful cheese like mozzarella or cheddar will make a big difference in the taste of your pizza.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Cook the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust to get crispy.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the cheese to set and prevent it from becoming stringy.

Conclusion:

Making a tomato cheese pizza is a simple and delicious way to enjoy this classic Italian dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a pizza that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
