Categories     pizza

Time P1DT3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

406 grams bread flour (or 3 1/4 cups)
2 grams instant yeast (or half teaspoon)
8 grams fine sea salt (or 1 1/2 teaspoons)
4 grams sugar (or 1 teaspoon)
260 grams cold water (9 ounces)
14 grams olive oil (or 1 tablespoon)
1 ~24 ounce dough ball (from above)
1 28 ounce can San Marzano plum tomatoes (hand crushed and completely drained of liquid)
12-16 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese (weight will vary, but use enough to cover the pizza completely)
3 tablespoons Pecorino Romano (grated)
3/4 cup olive oil (divided)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Sicilian oregano (or Italian)

Steps:

  • Place water in a bowl large enough to hold both the water and all the dry ingredients and still have room to spare. Mix together dry ingredients in another bowl.
  • Add dry ingredients to water a bit at a time and mix thoroughly to form a dry rough mass.
  • Pour the oil over the dough, mix again to scrape off any dough residue stuck to side of the bowl, and place the rough shaggy dough onto a work surface.
  • Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, place a clean bowl inverted over the dough and wait 30 minutes before resuming. Return to kneading (just make sure to knead for at least a total of 5 minutes).
  • Place the bowl over the dough once more and let sit for 30-40 minutes to warm up before forming the dough ball.
  • After 40 minutes pull the dough towards its end repeatedly to form a smooth ball. Pinch the seam side and place the dough ball seam side down into an oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before using.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge 2 hours prior to using. Do not uncover the bowl. Oil the bottom of a 12 by 16 sheet pan (or standard half sheet pan) with 3/8's cup of olive oil. You need to use a lot of oil!
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and place it into the pan. With your fingertips begin pressing the dough into the corners of the pan. You will not be able to do this in one attempt. Place plastic over the pan and let the dough warm up.
  • After 45 minutes remove the plastic and try to stretch it again to the size of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and repeat process one more time until the dough has completely filled the pan. Cover the dough one more time and set aside. Preheat oven to 450f and set one rack to the lowest level of the oven and one to the highest.
  • Hand crush the plum tomatoes and drain the juice. Save the juice for another use. Add a ½ teaspoon of kosher salt to the tomatoes and set aside.
  • Mince the garlic and add to a bowl with a ¼ cup of olive oil.
  • Remove the plastic from the pan and if required press the dough into the edges. Right away layer the mozzarella cheese in an overlapping shingle pattern, leaving the outside 1/4 to 1/2 inch uncovered. Start with a corner. By pressing the dough down slightly you can lock the dough into the corner. Make sure the dough is layered completely with the mozzarella slices.
  • Next, add the drained plum tomatoes to the pizza. You can use 45 degree lines or spoon the sauce all over. Leave some open areas. Don't coat it all. Take the garlic oil and drizzle 3 tablespoons of the oil and garlic pieces all over the pizza.
  • Place the pizza onto the lowest rack and cook for 12 minutes rotating the pan 180 degrees after 6 minutes.
  • After 12 minutes remove the pizza from oven and check the bottom for browning. If the pizza is well-browned, bake on top rack for 6 more minutes. Otherwise, leave the pizza on the bottom rack for 6 more minutes.
  • After 18 minutes of baking remove the pizza and sprinkle with the oregano and Pecorino Romano cheese. Bake for 2 minutes more on top oven rack.
  • If the Grandma pizza is not crisp enough on top, you can broil for 30-60 seconds. Watch very carefully though!
  • The total cooking time will be approximately 20-22 minutes. Let the pizza sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!

SICILIAN CHRISTMAS PIZZA (SFINCIONE)



Sicilian Christmas Pizza (Sfincione) image

Topping a thick-crust pizza with bread crumbs might sound like a strange idea, but it really is the crispy, cheesy secret sauce behind this Sicilian Christmas Pizza. Well, that and the actual sauce of onion and anchovies--ingredients you might want to keep secret from guests. Also key is the extremely sticky dough, which bakes into a feather-light, spongy crust that contrasts perfectly with the crumbly topping. Garnish with the customary dried oregano if desired.

Time 3h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups warm water (100 to 110 degrees F (40 to 45 degrees C))
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow onions, diced
salt to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
9 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained and 1 tablespoon oil reserved
1 ½ cups marinara sauce
¼ cup water
¾ cup fine plain dry bread crumbs
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 ounces shredded aged provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Pour warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle yeast on top and let bloom. Add salt, sugar, olive oil, and flour. Knead, scraping down sides as necessary, until dough is very elastic and sticky, 6 to 7 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onions soften, sweeten, and turn translucent, 6 or 7 minutes. Add red pepper flakes, black pepper, tomato paste, oregano, and anchovies; mix until anchovies dissolve. Add marinara sauce, rinse out the container with water, and add the water. Stir and let simmer on medium-low heat until flavors come together, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine bread crumbs and Pecorino Romano cheese in a bowl; toss together with a fork. Add the reserved anchovy oil and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix until bread crumbs are well moistened.
  • Generously coat a rimmed 13x18-inch sheet pan with up to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Oil your hands and turn dough out onto pan. Pull, stretch, and press it to the sides of the pan, pausing to let dough rest whenever it shrinks back too quickly.
  • Spoon sauce over the dough and spread up to about 1/2 inch from the edges. Add mozzarella and provolone cheeses. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly on top; do not press down. Drizzle remaining olive oil on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pizza is well browned is bottom is cooked, about 35 minutes. Bake for as as long as you can without the crumbs on top burning so that the crust cooks as much as possible.
  • Slide pizza onto a cooling rack to prevent the bottom from getting soggy. Transfer to a cutting board once cooled.

GRANDMA'S PIZZA



Grandma's Pizza image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups flour (I'm using bread flour but you could use all-purpose)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast or 1/2 ounce fresh yeast
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the baking sheets
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (San Marzano if possible)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 leaves fresh basil
3 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
12 ounces mozzarella (fresh if possible), sliced or shredded
Cracked black pepper
Chile flakes, for sprinkling, optional
Grated Parmesan, for sprinkling
12 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Cut the dough in half; you should have enough for two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. You can make both pizzas now, or hold the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Lightly oil one or two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. Add the dough and press down on it to spread it toward the edges. You won't be able to get it all the way to the edges, so spread it as much as you can without tearing. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
  • For the sauce: Put the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and some salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the topping: Spread the sauce all the way to the corners of the dough. Top the sauce with the mozzarella and sprinkle with black pepper and chile flakes if using. Bake until the dough is crisp and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with the basil and some Parmesan and serve.

Time 3h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 medium russet potato, peeled
3 cups bread flour
3 ½ teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (.25 ounce) package rapid-rise yeast
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 ⅓ cups water
1 serving olive oil cooking spray
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 medium garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 sprigs fresh basil
1 pinch kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
10 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place potato into a large pot and cover with cold water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Mash the potato and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 tablespoons oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Add water and mix on low speed until it comes together and no dry flour remains. Add the potato and increase speed to medium until dough is stretchy.
  • Coat the bottom of a square, lipped baking sheet with the rest of the oil. Place the dough on the baking sheet and spread it out, edge to edge. Use cooking spray to coat plastic wrap. Cover the dough and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a cold, 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and flip the garlic until is lightly browned. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, onion powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes and combine for about 2 minutes; add sugar and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in basil. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and adjust the pizza dough if necessary, ensuring it fills the pan from corner to corner. Spread 1 cup of sauce over the crust using a spoon, leaving a 1-inch border. Coat the top with 1/2 of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and add mozzarella cheese evenly over the entire pizza. Add more tomato sauce randomly over the pizza and add remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Return to the oven and bake until crust is well browned and cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.

ATK'S GRANDMA PIZZA



ATK's Grandma Pizza image

A thin-crusted pizza done like an Italian Grandma used to make. Different that the average pizza, thinner and crisper than a Sicilian pie, you are going to love this quick, simple recipe. From America's Test Kitchens.

Provided by DeSouter

Categories     Cheese

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
28 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • Spread the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a jelly roll or large baking pan.
  • Combine the water and olive oil together in a measuring cup.
  • Mix all of the dry ingredients for the crust together and place in a mixer. With the dough hook, start mixer on low and begin to add the liquid mixture until the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 10 minutes. The dough should be sticky unlike regular pizza dough.
  • Drop the dough onto the oiled pan and turn over once to coat the dough with oil. Press out into a 6 x 10" rectangle (the dough won't spread over the whole pan at this point.) Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 60 to 90 minutes; the dough should double. Uncover and press the dough out to the sides of the pan. Cover again with the plastic and let rest/rise for another 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees fareneheit, with rack positioned at the lowest level.
  • Mix all of the ingredients together for the sauce. Cheeses should be combined, and fresh basil should be rolled, width-wise, and chopped into fine ribbons and set aside.
  • First, spread the cheese evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the tomato topping. Bake for approximately 15 minutes (perhaps sooner if you have a convection oven), until bubbly and golden brown.
  • With a long spatula, loosen crust from pan then transfer onto a large cooling rack. Sprinkle with fresh basil, cut and serve.
