Best Northwest Passage Pizza Curry Brandade Pizza Recipes

DEEP-DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• Dissolve salt and sugar in 1 1/2 cups warm water that is between 100 and 120 degrees F. (Warm water is needed to activate the yeast, but if it is too hot, it will kill the yeast. Use a candy thermometer to test the temperature.) Stir in entire contents of packet of yeast and allow the mixture to "form a head" (like on a beer), which takes about 15 minutes.
• Place flour into mixing bowl and add yeast mixture. Stir to combine and then knead until the dough comes together and is a cohesive mass. Knead for a few minutes so the dough becomes elastic. Cover bowl with a clean cloth and allow to rise and rest for 30 minutes. Then punch the dough down, knead again briefly, cover the bowl with the cloth and allow to rise a second time.
• For the filling:
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and cook onion until it begins to caramelize. Add garlic and sliced pepper, and cook until they soften. Add pieces of sausage allowing them to brown. Pour off fat and stir in tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Cook together for a few minutes to allow flavors to blend, then remove from heat and set aside briefly.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a floured surface, stretch the dough into a 14-inch circle which is thicker around the edges. Transfer to a lightly greased 11-inch pie pan and shake cornmeal over the dough. Spoon the tomato/sausage mixture into the dough and sprinkle mozzarella over the top. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the pie sets up, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

BUFFALO WING PIZZA (TEAM GUY)

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a fry pan over medium heat, reserving the balance. Cook the onions until they caramelize.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spread 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil over each of the 2 pizza shells. Spoon 1/4 cup of the hot sauce over each of the pizza shells. Lay out 1 package of chicken nuggets on each pizza shell. Distribute the caramelized onions over the 2 pizzas. Sprinkle the Monterey jack cheese and mozzarella cheese over the pizzas. Drizzle ranch and blue cheese dressings over the pizza toppings and bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and chicken is heated through.

FUDGE, NUT AND FLUFF APPLE DESSERT PIZZA

Steps:

• Dissolve salt, sugar, and yeast in the warm water and allow the yeast to proof. ("Proofing" the yeast is testing it for viability. It will develop a foam which looks like the head of a beer. If it doesn't proof, the yeast is dead and should be discarded.) Proofing takes about 15 minutes.
• Place flour in a food processor fitted with a dough blade, and through the feed tube with the food processor running, slowly pour the proofed yeast mixture, until the dough comes together and is a cohesive mass. Transfer the dough to a floured board, and knead for about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with a clean dish towel and allow dough to rise, so that it roughly doubles in volume. (This will take about 30 minutes to an hour). The dough has risen enough if you make an indentation with your finger and it does not spring back.) Punch the dough down and allow it to rise again. (Allowing the dough to rise a second time gives it a finer texture.) Note: It will not rise as much the second time.
• While the dough is proofing, begin to prepare the topping. Melt the butter over medium heat in a pan with a lid. Add apples and stir gently to coat with the warm butter. Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the apples. Stir in the lemon juice. Cover and cook over low to medium heat for about 40 minutes, or until the apples are cooked through and tender.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Stretch the dough out into a 14-inch circle which is thicker around the perimeter. Transfer dough to a pizza stone sprinkled with cornmeal. Top evenly with the cooked apple slices. Since the caramel topping and hazelnut, chocolate sauce are thick and awkward to spread, distribute spoonfuls of them evenly over the surface of the apple slices and the heat from the oven will make them melt onto the surface. Sprinkle with mini-marshmallows and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is nicely browned.

HI-WIRE HOT VEGETABLE CURRY WITH MANGO SALSA SAMBAL

Steps:

• For the mango salsa, combine mango, onion, red and green bell peppers, chives, lemon juice, honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a nonreactive bowl and chill.
• Bring chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepot. Add rice, salt, butter and Italian seasoning. Return to a boil, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand for an additional 5 minutes covered before removing lid.
• In a separate large wok or heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium high heat, add the onions and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, stir in the curry powder and flour to combine with the onions and let cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock and let cook for 10 minutes to make sure the curry powder begins to lose its grittiness. Then add fresh ginger, garlic, carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli, mix well and cook for 10 minutes.
• Add the zucchini, edamame, corn, okra and tomato paste, tomatoes with their juice, leek, jalapeno, and salt and pepper, to taste. Bring slowly to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Place some rice in the middle of a serving dish and spoon vegetable curry over. Top with mango salsa.

BALTI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed skillet (cast iron preferred), heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onions and chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until soft. Stir in the green chiles, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, chili powder and garam masala and cook for another 5 minutes to bring out the aroma of the spices.
• Add the chicken (whole breasts or chopped) and cook for 5 minutes turning frequently. Stir in the chicken stock and cook until all the flavors have combined, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir, which will help thicken the sauce. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla yogurt, cilantro and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and let it rest for another 5 minutes until all the flavors meld. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with Basmati Rice and Naan Bread, if desired.
