3 Meat Pizza Ring Recipes

MEAT LOVER'S PIZZA CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cook the sausage, stirring and breaking up into pieces, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned in some spots and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the pizza sauce. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
• Spoon the sausage mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Cover the sausage with the ham slices. Top the ham with the pepperoni and then cover pepperoni with cheese slices. Remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the mixture).
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Brush the dough with the butter and sprinkle with the Italian seasoning. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with more pizza sauce.

3-MEAT PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: You can use already made pizza crust, frozen or homemade pizza dough. Cooking time can and will vary depending on the pizza dough you select. Be sure to follow instructions for baking your pizza based on the dough you selected to use. I used a homemade dough and the directions are based on the dough I used.
• 2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• 3. Stretch or press dough out onto a large pizza pan. I used a 16-inch round pizza pan. NOTE: I stretched this dough by turning in a circular motion as I let it hang freely from my (oiled) hands. I found the hard way that rolling out a dough will only make it tough.
• 4. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over dough. (NOTE: don't over do it with the pizza sauce or dough will be soggy). Then start layering your favorite toppings. I loaded this pizza with 3 meats, peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms and thinly sliced tomatoes and then topped with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• 5. Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown around the edges.
• 6. DIRECTIONS FOR PIZZA DOUGH USING BREAD MACHINE: Place ingredients in pan of bread machine in the order they are listed.
• 7. Select 1-lb setting and then select dough cycle and start your machine.
• 8. Once machine has finished it's work, oil hands and stretch dough by allowing the dough to hang from your hand while turning it slowly in a circular motion. Once the appropriate size or close to size you need, lay onto pizza pan. Press edges out as needed to fit your pan. If you are already a pro with pizza and can toss, then toss your pizza dough. I've not mastered that yet!
• 9. NOTE: do not roll out the pizza dough or you will have a tough dough.
