Pizza Dough Salad Bowl Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE MIXING BOWL PIZZA DOUGH & PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 475 DEGREES F. Using a medium size bowl add the whole wheat and bread flour together. STIR TILL THE FLOURS ARE BLENDED TOGETHER.
• 2. Then scoop out ONE CUP of the flour mixture & add it to the mixing bowl, that has been equipped with a dough hook attachment. Now add in the 2 packages of yeast, sugar, salt, extra virgin olive oil, and begin slowly to mix.
• 3. Add in the hot water and increase speed till flour begins to blend together.
• 4. Gradually add in MOST OF remaining flour,(WILL NOT NEED ALL OF IT) with increased speed, and beat until mixture comes together and forms a soft ball of dough that is not sticky. SHOULD LOOK LIKE DOUGH IN PICTURE. With the addition of the whole wheat flour knead at least 6 or 7 minutes or so.
• 5. Remove from mixing bowl, then grease a medium size bowl with olive oil, add the ball of dough, and grease all sides of ball of dough. Then cover with a heavy dish towel to keep warm, and allow to rise while you prep the veggie toppings for the pizza. I LEFT BOWL ON STOVE TOP WHILE IT WAS PREHEATING TO ALLOW DOUGH TO RISE at least 15 minutes, I let mine rest for about half hour.
• 6. Cube the precooked sausage patties into cubes, until they resemble the ones in picture. YOU MAY WANT TO USE OTHER TOPPINGS, or no meat at all.
• 7. Chop remaining veggies and shred cheese if needed, and add to a large platter, till you are ready to top pizza.
• 8. Spray a long jelly roll size pan with cooking spray, and then dust lightly with the 2 tablespoons of yellow corn meal, then shake to coat the entire bottom of pan.
• 9. Now the pizza dough should be ready, it is at least double in bulk. Notice dough in step #5 and now in step #9 how much it rose in the bowl.
• 10. Now press dough out with fingers into pan, pushing out to the outer edge, and into corners, until the desired thickness is reached. Should look somewhat like the picture. NOW PLACE IN THE PREHEATED OVEN FOR 4 MINUTES ONLY, this is to assure that crust will not be soggy when it is completely cooked with added toppings.
• 11. After 4 minute time lapse, remove from oven, and add the pizza/pasta sauce, leaving about a 1 inch border on all sides NOT COVERED WITH SAUCE. Now sprinkle with Italian seasoning or oregano.
• 12. Top with topping ingredients as desired. I started with some of the mozzarella cheese first after adding the sauce, then added the sausage, peppers, cheddar cheese, and shredded gruyere cheese, can top with additional Italian Seasoning if desired before baking. NOTE: IF YOU WEIGH THE CRUST DOWN WITH TOO MANY INGREDIENTS, THE CRUST MAY BE SOGGY AFTER COOKING.
• 13. Place in preheated 475 degree F. oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cheeses has melted and toppings is hot and bubbly. Remove from oven.
• 14. Using a pizza cutter, cut into desired size slices, and serve immediately. I got about 15 nice size serving slices.
• 15. Enjoy and watch them come back for more. These detailed steps are for anyone that has been intimidated about making their own pizza crust & pizza before, especially my daughter Briana. Here's to you Briana, a NO FAIL APPROACH TO MAKING YOUR OWN HOMEMADE PIZZA. ENJOY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

EASY PIZZA BOWLS

Steps:

• Using a large skillet over medium high heat add in the Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink. Remove from pan and using the grease left in the pan add the mushrooms and cook until soft.
• Place 4 ramekins on a baking sheet and coat the bottom of each with marinara sauce.
• Top with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Divide the Italian sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms among the four ramekins and place over the layer of mozzarella cheese.
• Add another layer of marinara sauce, followed by the remaining mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes.
• Place the baking sheet with the pizza bowls under the broiler until the cheese has browned and the sauce is bubbly.
• Serve warm.

GRILLED SALAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• For the salad: Whisk the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, several grinds of pepper and the oregano together in a large salad bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Whisk in the Parmesan. Add the garlic clove and let sit for about 30 minutes to infuse (about as long as it takes to prepare the pizza).
• Just before serving, discard the garlic clove. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, giardiniera, artichokes, olives, provolone and salami to the bowl and toss to coat. Add the romaine and toss again.
• Meanwhile, for the pizza: Stir together the ricotta and chopped garlic in a small bowl. Stir in enough cream or milk to make a spreadable mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Brush a 14-inch or larger pizza pan with oil. Form the pizza dough into a ball and place on the pan. Brush the dough with oil. Use your fingers to gently stretch the dough to a 12- to 13-inch round. Brush the top of the dough once more with oil.
• Quickly flip the pizza over the grill and remove the pan, leaving the dough round on the grill. Grill, covered, until the bottom of the dough is golden, has distinct grill marks and the top is set, about 3 minutes. Flip the dough so the grilled side is up. Brush the crust with olive oil. Spread the ricotta mixture almost to the edges. Sprinkle with the mozzarella, Parmesan and pecorino. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the bottom crust is crisp and golden, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Remove the pizza from the grill and cut into 8 slices. Sprinkle the pizza with red pepper flakes and oregano. Pile the salad on top and serve.

PIZZA DOUGH SALAD BOWL

Steps:

• For the bowl: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
• Stretch out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Place a 10-inch metal bowl upside down on a baking tray. Cover the outside of the bowl with cooking spray. Drape the dough over the bowl. (Make sure the dough is not too thin.)
• Mix the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl and brush over the dough, reserving extra. Bake until the dough is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the dressing: Meanwhile, mix the oil, vinegar, mustard and oregano together in a bowl.
• Carefully remove the cooked pizza crust from the bowl using a kitchen towel or oven mitts. Brush the inside of the bread bowl with the remaining garlic butter and allow it cool and crisp.
• For the salad: Add the lettuce, olives, peppers, strips of salami and cubed mozzarella to a bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss. Tip into the pizza bowl. Fold the remaining slices of salami into quarters and arrange on top of the salad. Garnish with the basil.
