VODKA SAUCE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, top with a baking rack and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Add the sliced prosciutto and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil. Once cooled, crumble into pieces.
• After the prosciutto has baked, increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Prepare your pizza pan by lightly spraying with cooking spray, and add your pizza dough. Prebake the dough for 8 minutes.
• While the prosciutto and dough are baking, start making your vodka sauce. In a medium pan, melt the butter then add the grated garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the flour and whisk until combined, cook about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and stir to incorporate with the flour...cook another minute. Add the half & half or cream and gently whisk to blend the tomato paste into the cream. Then, add the vodka and basil. Bring to light boil, then reduce heat and add the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for a few minutes until the pizza dough is done prebaking.

VODKA SAUCE RICOTTA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Brush a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil. Place the pizza dough on top and coat with a bit of the oil from the sheet using a pastry brush. Let the dough sit at room temperature until it can easily be stretched to all corners of the baking sheet without springing back, about 1 hour (if needed let sit for an additional hour).
• Meanwhile, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, chives, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper together in a medium bowl. Stretch the dough to all corners of the baking sheet. Spread the ricotta mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Arrange the mozzarella on top and bake until the crust is deep golden brown at the edges and on the bottom, and the cheese is melted and starting to turn brown in spots, 20 to 23 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the pizza cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Drizzle the vodka sauce on top of the pizza then remove the pizza from the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

VODKA PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic, oregano, and pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by 1/4, about 20 minutes. Add heavy cream, increase heat to bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and continue to cook until reduced again by 1/4, about 20 minutes longer. Add vodka and cook for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Let sauce cool slightly, then transfer half of sauce to the jar of a blender. Blend, starting on lowest speed and gradually increasing to high until completely smooth, about 2 minutes total. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining half of sauce. Sauce can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (see note).
• At least 45 minutes before baking, place a baking stone or steel on an oven rack set to the top position and preheat oven to 550°F (290°C).
• Turn single dough ball out onto lightly flour surface. Gently press out dough into rough 8-inch circle, leaving outer 1-inch higher than the rest. Gently stretch dough by draping over knuckles into a 12 to 14-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to pizza peel.
• Spread approximately 3/4 cup of sauce evenly over surface of crust, leaving 1/2 to 1-inch border along edge. Place 8 to 10 chunks of mozzarella evenly over surface of pizza and scatter with 4 to 5 basil leaves. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with with salt. Slide pizza onto stone or steel and bake until cheese is melted and crust underbelly is spotty brown, 6 to 12 minutes total. Remove from oven with metal pizza peel, transfer to cutting board, slice, and serve. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with remaining ingredients to make 2 additional pizzas.
