PIZZA WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC (PIZZA BIANCA)



Pizza with Rosemary and Garlic (Pizza Bianca) image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h40m

Yield One large 12 by 18-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
4 cups flour (approximately): unbleached all-purpose or hard white flour, or a 50-50 blend of white and whole wheat
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil (approximately)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Leaves from 3 sprigs rosemary (approximately 2 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Place water in a large bowl. Water should be warm but not hot to the touch. Stir in the yeast and allow to dissolve. Stir in 1 cup flour, stirring constantly in the same direction. Stir in another cup flour, then stir 100 times in the same direction (one minute). This helps develop the gluten. You now have a sponge. Cover, and let stand for half an hour or up to three hours. When you are ready to continue, sprinkle on salt and oil, then add more flour, stirring it in a half cup at a time. The dough will be getting heavier and harder to stir. When you can stir no longer, flour a kneading surface well and have more flour handy beside your work surface. Turn dough out and knead, adding extra flour to your work surface as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking. The dough will gradually become smooth and easy to work. Knead for 10 minutes, clean bread bowl, oil it lightly, and place the ball of dough into the bowl to rise, covered with plastic wrap. Let rise until more than doubled, almost three hours. When the volume of the dough has approximately doubled, you can proceed to the next step.
  • Dough can be made ahead to this point and then stored. If you wish postpone baking, gently push dough down, and leave covered in the bowl to rise again. If delay will be more than several hours, instead store dough in a plastic bag in the refrigerator (for not more than five days). Bring out of the cold and take out of the plastic bag at least an hour before you want to work with it.Lightly flour your work surface and lightly oil a 12 by 18-inch baking sheet. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Turn dough out onto work surface and flatten with the lightly floured palm of your hand. Pull and stretch the dough gently out into the rectangular shape you need to fit your baking sheet. Take your time and give the dough time to rest if it is resisting stretching. It will need to get quite thin. When you have stretched the dough to approximately the shape and size you need, transfer it to baking sheet and continue to gently press and stretch it to fit. Don't worry if it tears, just patch the hole with another piece of dough and press firmly to join the edges. If you have extra dough hanging over the edge, trim it off and use it to make another small pizza. Dough should be of an even thinness across the flat part of the baking sheet and should form a slight rounded rim as it meets the edge (which is for many people the best part of the pizza).
  • Brush top of pizza with oil, then dimple the surface all over with your fingers. Sprinkle garlic, sea salt and then optional rosemary leaves. Place baking sheet on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake until the crust around the edge is slightly golden, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on how thin the pizza is. Remove from oven, brush crusts lightly with olive oil and also the center if you wish. Cut into large squares and serve warm or hot. We have often made pizza bianca several hours ahead, then wrapped it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it moist until we are ready to reheat it for serving. To reheat, place in a dampened paper bag in a 300 degree F oven for about 10 minutes.

SEA SALT AND ROSEMARY PIZZA BIANCA BITES WITH MORTADELLA AND MOZZARELLA



Sea Salt and Rosemary Pizza Bianca Bites with Mortadella and Mozzarella image

When we are in Italy, one of our favorite things to do is to stop in at one of the local pizza places for a quick snack - a nice big square of 'Pizza Bianca con Mortadella'. This is my twist on this Roman snack!

Provided by Kim's Cooking Now

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Meat and Poultry     Pork

Time 4h35m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal®)
11 fluid ounces warm water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt (such as Diamond Crystal®) Coarse Sea Salt)
42 slices thinly sliced mortadella
42 leaves fresh basil
21 fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine), cut in half
appetizer picks

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in a bowl; add sugar, stir, and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix 3 1/2 cups flour with rosemary and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour the yeast mixture into flour mixture; slowly add 11 ounces warm water and mix until dough holds together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Grease a large glass bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place dough in the bowl, turning once to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place into a cool oven with the oven light on until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Line a rimless baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over parchment paper. Turn risen dough onto the parchment paper and flatten it gently with your hands, forming a 9x13-inch rectangle.
  • Place baking sheet into the oven, with the oven light on, until dough has risen, another 1 1/2 hours.
  • Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over dough and top with coarse sea salt.
  • Position your oven rack slightly lower than center, and place a baking stone on the rack.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Gently slide the parchment off of the sheet pan and onto the baking stone.
  • Bake dough in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Gently lift the crust using a pizza peel or large spatula and pull the parchment paper out so that the crust is directly on the baking stone.
  • Continue to bake until crust is golden brown, 15 to 16 minutes more. Transfer crust to a cooling rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Slice the crust into small squares. Cut each square in half horizontally so that you have a top and a bottom. Fold a mortadella slice in half and then in half again; place on top of the pizza bottom. Layer a basil leaf on top of mortadella and top with a mozzarella slice. Add the pizza top and secure with an appetizer pick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

GARLIC-ROSEMARY PIZZA BIANCA



Garlic-Rosemary Pizza Bianca image

Once slice of this chewy, crispy, aromatic pizza will have you hooked.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 garlic head, halved crosswise
2 large sprigs fresh rosemary
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
Coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups water
1/4 cup white cornmeal

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place garlic and rosemary in a heatproof dish, and drizzle with oil. Cover, and roast until garlic has softened, about 40 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate. Pour garlic-rosemary oil through a sieve into a bowl, discard rosemary, and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, put flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, the yeast, and water into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on low speed 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Gradually raise speed to high, kneading until dough is shiny, sticky, and elastic, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer dough to a large oiled glass bowl, and cover with plastic. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until tripled in bulk, about 2 1/2 hours. (Dough will be light and airy.)
  • Turn out dough onto a well-floured work surface. With floured hands, turn dough over a couple of times, and divide in half. Working with 1 portion at a time, stretch into a 14-by-5-inch rectangle, and starting at 1 short end, roll into an oval log. Brush logs generously with garlic-rosemary oil, using about 2 tablespoons per log. Sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 45 minutes.
  • Put a 14-inch pizza stone into oven, and heat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cornmeal over a pizza peel, and lay a piece of dough on top. Using your fingers, dent and stretch dough in several places to form a 12-by-4-inch oval. Drizzle garlic-rosemary oil into dimples but not too close to edge of dough. Carefully slide onto preheated stone, stretching as you pull out the peel. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Cut crosswise into slices, and serve with roasted garlic, garlic-rosemary oil or olive oil, and salt.

PIZZA BIANCA



Pizza Bianca image

Recipe from Cook's Illustrated. This is a VERY wet dough! It will not roll, so don't try. Recipe is designed for an 18x13 baking sheet; a smaller pan can be used but will need a longer baking time. If you don't have a pizza stone, set the rack in the lowest position, preheat oven to 500, and bake an additional 3-5 minutes.

Provided by DrGaellon

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 3h54m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour (3 cups)
13 1/2 ounces water, room temperature (1 2/3 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons table salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons whole fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Place towel under stand mixer to prevent wobbling. Mix flour, water and table salt in bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook, on low speed, until no dry flour remains, 3-4 min, scraping sides and bottom of bowl occasionally. Stop mixer and allow to stand 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle yeast and sugar over dough. Knead on low speed until fully combined, 1-2 minutes. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl, then turn speed up to high and knead until dough is glossy, smooth and pulls away from sides of bowl, 6-10 minutes. (Dough will only pull away while mixer is running; once mixer is stopped, it will fall back to sides.).
  • Smear large bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil with fingers, scraping excess onto a rubber spatula. Use oiled spatula to transfer dough to oiled bowl. Pour 1 tbsp oil over dough. Flip dough once to cover thoroughly with oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature until nearly tripled in size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • One hour before dough is ready, place oven rack in the middle of the over and position pizza stone on rack. Heat oven to 450.
  • When dough is risen, coat rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with 2 tbsp oil. Using rubber spatula, turn dough out onto sheet, along with any oil in bowl. Use fingertips to spread dough to edges of pan, being careful not to tear it. (Dough will not reach corners snugly. If dough resists stretching, allow it to rest 5-10 minutes before trying again.) Let dough rest in pan 5-10 minutes, until bubbly. Prick surface 30-40 times with dinner fork. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • Bake 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle top with rosemary and rotate pan, then bake another 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to cutting board and brush with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Slice and serve immediately.

PIZZA BIANCA



Pizza Bianca image

This is a recipe for a simple Italian flatbread adorned with rosemary, olive oil, and salt. The dough comes together in a food processor.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Bread     Brunch     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Lunch     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield Makes 1 approximately 11 x 16 inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for parchment
1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast (also called bread machine or rapid rise yeast)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt like Maldon or fleur de sel
Special equipment:
a pizza stone or double stack of baking sheets

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until well combined. Add yeast and pulse again. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 1/2 cups room temperature water. Process for 15 seconds, scrape down sides. Process 15 seconds more, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Mixture will be very wet, sticky, and fluid.
  • Coat a large bowl with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Scrape dough into bowl with spatula and toss in oil. Flip dough over and top with another 1/2 tablespoon oil.
  • Cover with plastic, then a towel, and let rise in a warm area until almost tripled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Alternately, before rising you can refrigerate the dough overnight. Let come to room temperature the next day, then let rise until almost tripled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, move a rack to middle of oven and place pizza stone or an inverted double stack of baking sheets on top. Preheat oven to 500°F for at least 1 hour before baking.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and sprinkle with flour. Scrape dough onto parchment and stretch dough to outer corners of baking sheet, creating a rectangle. If dough stretches back, allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before stretching again. Once rectangle is formed, allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes until slightly puffed. Stipple the surface using fingertips, then use a fork to prick the dough all over, 20 to 30 times. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with rosemary.
  • Bake 5 minutes until firm, remove pan, slide pizza from parchment onto a pizza peel or cutting board, and slide back onto pizza stone. Discard parchment. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 12 minutes more.
  • Transfer to a cutting board, then cut into slices. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve immediately.

ROMAN PIZZA BIANCA



Roman Pizza Bianca image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce envelope)
2 cups warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
5 to 5 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting, preferably organic
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound taleggio cheese, rind removed and cut into thin slices
2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 ounces baby arugula
White truffle oil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water in a large bowl and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 3 cups flour and the salt, stirring until smooth. Stir in an additional 2 cups flour; continue adding flour 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 1/2 cup), stirring until the dough comes away from the bowl but is still sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead with lightly floured hands. Start by slapping the dough onto the counter, pulling it toward you with one hand and pushing it away from you with the other. Fold the dough back over itself (use a bench scraper or a wide knife to help scrape the dough from the surface). Repeat until it's easier to handle, about 10 times. Finish kneading normally until the dough is smooth, elastic and soft, but a little tacky, about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic and let rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, about 3 hours. Press it with your finger to see if it's done; an indent should remain.
  • Prepare the charcoal in a chimney starter (allowing the charcoal to burn until all the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of gray ash) and add to the grill, creating a two-level fire by spreading the coals out over half the grill bottom, piling them up in a mound 3 briquettes high, leaving the other half with no coals.
  • Gently remove the dough from the bowl and divide in 4 pieces. Shape the pieces into rounds and let them rest on a sheet pan, covered with a clean side towel, for 30 minutes.
  • Stretch and shape each piece of dough into a large rectangle or circle on a flat surface. Brush the tops of each with the some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill directly over the coals, oiled-side down, and grill until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip over and grill for 1 minute longer. Remove from the grill and arrange the taleggio over the top. Then dollop on some ricotta and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano. Return to the grill on the opposite side (for indirect grilling). Cover and grill until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top each pizza with the arugula and drizzle with truffle oil.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
3/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast (from 1 envelope)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups (about) unbleached all purpose flour
Seasoned oil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced

4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Pour 3/4 cup water into large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over; stir to blend. Let stand 10 minutes to dissolve yeast. Add oil and salt, then 1 1/2 cups flour. Stir until well blended (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto generously floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour to prevent dough from sticking, about 5 minutes (dough will be soft). Shape dough into ball; place in large oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with kitchen towel. Let dough rise at cool room temperature until almost doubled, about 2 hours. Punch dough down; form into ball. Return to bowl; cover with towel and let rise until doubled, about 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare seasoned oil:
  • Mix oil, garlic, and red pepper in small bowl. Let stand 1 hour.
  • For topping:
  • Cook chard in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water; drain. Squeeze dry, then coarsely chop. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add chard and stir 1 minute. Season to taste with salt.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Punch down dough. Form into ball; place on floured work surface. Cover with kitchen towel; let rest 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle rimless baking sheet with cornmeal. Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to baking sheet. Sprinkle mozzarella over dough, leaving 1-inch border. Scatter chard over mozzarella. Top with goat cheese. Brush crust edge with some of seasoned oil. Set aside 2 teaspoons seasoned oil; drizzle remaining oil over pizza.
  • Bake pizza until crust is brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven; brush edge with seasoned oil and serve.

2 medium leaves kale, ribs removed, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground dark turkey meat
1 pound spicy Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a heavy small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly. Add the nutmeg, bay leaf and garlic. Whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens to sauce consistency and is smooth, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaf and garlic.
  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Oil a heavy nonstick 16- by 10-inch baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Using fingers, spread the dough over the prepared baking sheet into a rectangle shape. Drizzle the dough with olive oil. Spoon the sauce on top and spread evenly leaving a 1-inch border around the dough. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top. Arrange the meatballs, cut-side down, on top. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the kale in an even layer on top of the meatballs. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the kale is crispy, 10 minutes longer.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, basil, parsley, milk, tomato paste, salt, pepper, eggs, garlic and onions. Using a wooden spoon, stir to blend. Add the ground turkey and sausage meat. Using fingers, gently mix all the ingredients until thoroughly combined.
  • Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop or a small ice cream scoop, form the meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (22 to 24 meatballs). Place the meatballs on a heavy nonstick baking sheet, spacing apart. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until cooked through, 15 minutes.

PIZZA BIANCA WITH SCAMORZA AND SHAVED CELERY ROOT



Pizza Bianca with Scamorza and Shaved Celery Root image

With slices of celery root and chefs' new favorite cheese, scamorza, pizza night just got a lot more fun.

Provided by Dawn Perry

Time 40m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 bulb celery root (celeriac), peeled, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for baking sheet
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 ounces prepared pizza dough, room temperature
6 ounces scamorza cheese or smoked mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 500°F. Toss celery root and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Gently stretch dough into a 16x12" oval and transfer to a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. (If dough springs back, cover and let rest 10 minutes, then stretch again, resting as needed.) Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and bake until dry and golden, about 5 minutes (this prevents dough from getting soggy once the toppings are added). Remove from oven; top with cheese, reserved celery root, onion, Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon oregano.
  • Bake pizza, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until cheese is melted, celery root is tender, and crust is golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Top with capers and more oregano; season with sea salt and pepper.
