Categories     Main Course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cup warm water
1 tbsp active, dry yeast
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
4 1/2 cup bread flour
1 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 cup Pizza Sauce
16 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded) (Monterey Jack, cheddar, crumbled feta or goat, any combination (4 cups))
6 oz pepperoni (sliced) ( or other pizza toppings)

Steps:

  • Place the warm water in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow this to set for five minutes. The mixture will start to foam and bubble.
  • Add the oil, flour, salt, and herbs. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about five minutes until a smooth dough ball is formed.
  • Transfer the dough ball to a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
  • Combine the dough ingredients in the bread machine pan, according to the order recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Set on dough and start the machine, checking after ten minutes to make sure all the ingredients have been incorporated and not stuck to the side of the pan. Scrape down any stray ingredients to insure they are mixed in.
  • Place the warm water in the mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow this to set for five minutes. The mixture will start to foam and bubble.
  • Add the oil, flour, salt, and herbs. Attach the dough hook and run the machine until all the ingredients are incorporated, stopping the machine to scrape the sides as necessary. Knead with the dough hook until a smooth dough ball is formed.
  • Transfer the dough ball to a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 °. Spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with corn meal to prevent sticking or line the pans with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Divide the dough into 16 portions. Flatten each portion into a thin round and place on the cooking sheet.
  • Spread sauce and sprinkle toppings as desired.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is crisp and the cheese melted and lightly browned.
  • Wrap cooled pizzas in foil or plastic wrap and stash in a larger ziptop freezer bag. Thaw and reheat in a 350 oven for about 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the pizzas as directed, but instead of baking, place the trays in the freezer. Once the pizzas are frozen solid (this will take several hours), stack them between layers of patty papers or waxed paper and store in a freezer bag or box in the freezer. To serve: bake from frozen at 450 degrees, for 10 to 12 minutes.

FAST, FUN, CHEAP, EASY PIZZA



Fast, Fun, Cheap, Easy Pizza image

i learned the original recipie from my home econonomics class back in 7th grade. The fact that this has stayed with my for so long should tell you something! I suggest making this recipie with your girlfriend because it is involved but not too complicated and cooking something together will bring you closer together. The ingredients listed are approximate because cooking pizza is more of an art than a science.

Yield 1 med-large pizza, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits (not cresent rolls)
1 (8 ounce) package pepperoni
0.5 (16 ounce) bag shredded cheese
0.5 (16 ounce) can Ragu pizza sauce or 0.5 (16 ounce) can pizza sauce
1 cup cooked ground beef or 1 cup bacon bits
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven according to the directions on the biscuit package.
  • Lay out and roll flat the biscuits on a pan or pizza stone leaving it slightly thicker around the edges.
  • "The Secret" cook the pan of flattened biscuit dough by itself for about 4-5 minutes. This will ensure that the dough cooks inside the pizza and you don't bite into mush!
  • After it cooks, roll the dough flat again everywhere but the edges(crust!).
  • Now cover the surface with a thin layer of Ragu, then shredded cheeze, then pepperoni, then i like to add diced peppers and bacon bits.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST



Quick and Easy Pizza Crust image

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!
