SHRIMP, SWEET ONION, AND ROASTED RED PEPPER PESTO PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the roasted red pepper pesto (this is optional but highly recommemded), process the garlic and salt in a food processor until garlic is minced.
• Add in the roasted red peppers, parmesan, basil, olive oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes; process until smooth; use immediately or transfer to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• To make the pizza: position an oven rack in the center of the oven and place a baking stone (if using one) on the rack; preheat oven to 500°.
• In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
• Remove the boboli crust from the plastic bag and save the packet of tomato sauce for another time.
• Place the pizza crust on a pizza screen, pizza pan, or rimless baking sheed, or on a pizza peel ready to slide directly onto the baking stone.
• Spread the pesto evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Scatter the onion and bell pepper over the sauce.
• Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
• Scatter the basil over the cheese; place the shrimp in a single layer over the cheese.
• Place the pizza in the oven on the rack or stone; bake about 10-12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and a deep golden brown, and the shrimp are pink and slightly curled.
• Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.

WALLA WALLA SWEET ONION & CHANTERELLE PIZZA

Steps:

• Dough-in your food processor add yeast, sugar and warm water.
• Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, salt and 2 cups flour.
• Pulse 5 or 6 times until well incorporated.
• Add 1/2 cup of the remaining flour-pulse 5 or 6 times. Set remaining flour aside for rolling.
• Turn dough out onto counter-knead about 10 times to form into a ball.
• Place 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil into a large mixing bowl, add the dough ball, give it a good toss to cover dough with oil.
• Cover bowl with a clean tea towel and set in a warm spot until doubled in size. This is going to take around 30 minutes.
• While the dough is rising preheat oven to 450 degrees. You want it HOT.
• In a large skilled over medium heat sauté onions for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add sliced mushrooms, sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Stir in thyme, remove from heat and set aside. Do not cover your onion/mushroom mixture-they will sweat to much if you do.
• In a medium bowl squeeze out your roasted garlic and mash well with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. You want a paste that is still a little fluid so add EVOO until it's spreadable.
• Flour your counter well.
• At this point it's up to you. We like a thin crust so I roll my dough out onto the counter, punch it down, divide, and take 1/2 putting it into a oil lined freezer bag to use for another night. If you like a medium crust use the whole recipe.
• Roll dough into a large circle, making sure to run a spatula under it from time to time so it doesn't stick to the counter.
• Once you have your dough rolled out sprinkle pizza pan with cornmeal.
• To transfer dough to your pan I find it easiest to simply roll the dough over the rolling pin, then unroll over the pan.
• Tuck under any dough that's hanging over the rim of your pan.
• Evenly spread your roasted garlic and olive oil blend over top of your dough.
• Evenly spread your onion-mushroom mixture over the garlic spread.
• Layer on the cheese, starting with the smoked provolone, then the mozzarella.
• Bake for 15 minutes in your preheated oven. We like to broil ours for an additional 3 to 4 minutes so the top is nicely browned-up to you.
• Remove from oven-let stand for 5 minutes, cut and serve.
