Three-Cheese Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces torn fresh mozzarella
• 1 ounce shredded part-skim mozzarella
• 1 ounce shredded fontina
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
• Pinch of red-pepper flakes
• Basil Grilled Pizza Dough:

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 packet (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl and brushing
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 2 1/4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface

Directions

Pour 1 cup warm water into a medium bowl; add sugar and sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, 5 minutes.

Whisk oil and 1 teaspoon salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until liquid is incorporated (dough will appear dry). Turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead until dough comes together in an elastic ball, 2 minutes. Transfer to an oiled medium bowl; brush lightly with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; set in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in bulk, 45 minutes. Punch down dough and cover; let rise another 30 minutes.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Let rest 15 minutes before using.

• Herb Oil:

Ingredients

• 1 sliced garlic clove
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring sliced garlic clove, minced fresh rosemary leaves, and extra-virgin olive oil to a simmer over medium and cook 3 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in a small bowl.
------------------------------------------
Directions

Heat it up: Set up a grill with heat source, coals or gas, on one side over medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill.

Stretch it: On a lightly floured work surface, stretch or roll 1 piece basic grilled pizza dough or 4 ounces store-bought dough into a 10-inch-long oval or other desired shape. Brush one side lightly with herb oil or olive oil and season with coarse salt and ground pepper.

Grill it: Using your hands, place dough, oiled side down, directly over heat source. Brush dough with herb oil or olive oil and cook until underside is lightly charred and bubbles form all over top, 1 to 2 minutes. With tongs, flip dough and cook until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide dough to cooler side of grill.

Top it: Top with cheeses, parsley, and red-pepper flakes; cover grill. Cook until cheese melts and toppings are heated through, 2 to 5 minutes.

Eat it!

Note: No grill? no problem. Cook this dough in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, or on a preheated sheet pan or pizza stone in a 500-degree F/250C oven.

Pita Pizza

Ingredients
For the Garnish

• Fresh Basil, thinly sliced

For the Pizza

• 4 whole-wheat pita breads (each 7 1/2 inches)
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
• 3 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated

For the Tomato Sauce

• 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch dice
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
• 1 bay leaf
• One half 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup tomato paste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/175C. Make the tomato sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onion and garlic are browned, about 4 minutes. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick, about 35 minutes.

Assemble the pizzas: Arrange pita breads on two baking sheets. Spread about 6 tablespoons tomato sauce on each. Scatter strips of yellow bell pepper on top, and then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the baking sheets to the oven, and bake the pizzas until the peppers begin to wilt and the mozzarella has melted, about 20 minutes. Remove the pizzas from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with basil, and cut each pita pizza into 12 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BBQ Chicken Apple Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 2½-2¾ cups onions, thinly sliced (¼-inch) and halved (roughly one large onion weighing 14 ounces before peeling and cutting off ends)
• 2 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 pre-baked, purchased whole wheat pizza crust (10-12 ounces, 11-inch round)*
• ⅔ cup barbecue sauce
• 4 ounces cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced or shredded
• ¾ cup smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
• ¾ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• additional barbecue sauce for drizzling over top, optional

Tips & Notes
Traditional white or yellow onions, such as Spanish or Bermuda, work best with this pizza. Use Granny Smith apples if you prefer a tarter apple flavor to balance the sweet sauce. Other apples such as Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Fuji, Gala and Golden Delicious, work extremely well on this pizza.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven (and pizza stone) to 450°F/230 C or temperature indicated on pizza crust package.
2. In a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat oil and butter. When they are hot, add onion slices; cover and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Remove lid, increase heat just slightly, and cook additional 7 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions have reduced in size and are soft and slightly golden brown.
3. Add apples and cook, stirring constantly, another 2 to 4 minutes, until apples are just barely starting to soften. (Aim for crisp-tender.) Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
4. Spread barbecue sauce evenly on pizza crust and top evenly with chicken and Gouda cheese. Spoon apple-onion mixture evenly over entire pizza, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake 8 minutes, or until ingredients are hot and cheese is melted. If desired, drizzle a very small amount of barbecue sauce over top.

Ma sha allah very nice teacher but how do we cook pizza in an cnvection oven?

A perfect pizza and a convection oven? Here is solution to you.

How to Make Pizza In a Convection Oven?
Most ovens, called conventional radiant ovens, cook food by surrounding them with hot air. In comparison, a convection oven blows hot air directly onto food, which helps the food cook more quickly. One of the more common problems found with pizza cooked in a convection oven is that it doesn't have the crisp crust that a conventional oven would make. However, with just a perforated pizza pan or pizza screen, your convection oven can give you as crisp a crust as a conventional oven. These pans will better allow the convection oven's hot air to cook the pizza from below. This recipe makes two 12-inch round pizzas.

Things You'll Need

2 large bowls
Whisk and wooden spoon
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. table salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup lukewarm water
Perforated pizza pan or pizza screen

Instructions

• Whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl.
  
• Add the olive oil and lukewarm water. Stir first with a wooden spoon, then knead by hand until the dough is firm, smooth and elastic. It should not be sticky.
  
• Coat the inside of the bowl with a thin layer of olive oil.
  
• Put the dough in the bowl, turning the dough to coat it evenly with oil so it won't stick to the bowl's sides while rising.
  
• Cover the bowl with oiled plastic wrap so the dough won't stick to it if it rises into it.
  
• Let the dough rise until it is doubled in size, about 3 hours. You can also put the dough in the fridge for up to 5 days for a slow rise, which would develop a more flavorful dough.
  
• Divide the dough into two pieces and form each into a ball. Let them rise on a floured surface until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
  
• Preheat your convection oven to 500 degrees F/260 C. You can preheat a pizza stone in your oven, too, if you have one. Just make sure you give it ample time to preheat because high heat is important for a crisp crust. If you use a pizza stone, you can bake your pizza directly on it instead of in a pizza pan.
  
• Roll and then press each ball of dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds on a floured surface, and transfer them to your perforated pizza pans.
  
• Top the dough with your desired toppings, which can be as simple as just a drizzle of olive oil and some sliced tomatoes.
  
• Put the pizzas in the oven. If using a pizza stone, use a pizza peel. If you don't have a pizza peel, lightly dust the back of a cookie sheet with flour or cornmeal, place your pizza on it, and slide your pizza onto the pizza stone.
• Bake the pizzas until their crust is golden brown. If you used mozzarella cheese, it should be melted, lightly browned in spots and bubbly.
  
• Remove the pizzas carefully, allow them to rest for a few minutes so the cheese, if any, can set, and then serve.

How to Make a Homemade Pizza

The best thing about pizza is that you can make different versions of it. You can go classic, with your vegetables and sausages, go all meat, or vegetarian - it’s up to you! Nothing beats classic pizza, and now you can make it within the comfort of your own home.

You will need:

2 cups and a 1 tsp of Flour
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of yeast
½ tbsp. of salt
1 tsp of sugar
2/3 cup of warm water

Directions:

Step 1.

Add yeast and sugar into a pan and stir for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast forms a foam. Gradually add salt and oil.



Step 2.

Gradually add flour into the mixture and stir. When the mixture seems to be too thick to stir, do not add any more flour.



Step 3.

Knead the dough by pressing on it in a clean surface and piling it up. When it is no longer sticky, leave it in room temperature or in the fridge until it rises up. It’ll take about an hour at room temperature and 5 hours when inside the fridge.



Step 4.

When dough has risen, shape it either into a round or rectangular shape with a rolling pin. You can actually cut the dough up into 2 pieces and use the other one for a second pizza.



Now for the fun part, the toppings.

You will need:

1 green bell pepper cut lengthwise without the seeds and stalks
1 white onion cut in rings
browned ground beef/grilled chicken/tuna etc you like to use in your pizza
olives
1 can or 2 pcs of mushrooms sliced thinly
1 can or 2 cups of tomato sauce or puree
1 cup of mozzarella cheese
fresh tomatoes


Now for the cooking part:

Step 1.

Pre heat oven at 375 F/190 C.

Step 2.

After rolling the dough into your desired shape and thickness, put it into a pizza pan. Top it off with a little olive oil and spread tomato sauce or puree into the dough using a spoon.



Step 3.

Add mozzarella cheese to the dough and then top it off with your toppings. You can be generous with what you put on top of your pizza but I suggest that you put in a moderate amount.



Step 4.

Put pizza pan into the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.



Step 5.

Take out pizza and slice it into your desired number of pieces.



Enjoy!

Pizza base without flour

Take five eggs. Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and add the yolks mixed among each other. Season with salt and spread the mixture on baking paper on a baking tray. Bake in the bottom of a 200-degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Add toppings and bake for about 15 minutes.

You can flavor the base addition salt, for example, chilli, garlic and grated cheese.
