PEPPERONI PIZZA BITES WITH HOMEMADE MARINARA SAUCE



Pepperoni Pizza Bites with Homemade Marinara Sauce image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 pizza bites

Number Of Ingredients 17

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
All-purpose flour, for dusting
6 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 1/2 to 3 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella (about 12 ounces)
Marinara Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch crushed red pepper
One 26-ounce box chopped tomatoes, such as Pomi

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil with olive oil. Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl combine the garlic, Parmesan, parsley and 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough with the 14-inch side parallel to you. With a ruler, mark every 4 inches along the 12-inch side. Cut the dough straight across at the marks to make three 4-inch-wide strips. Brush top of the strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Shingle the pepperoni slices over the dough strips. Sprinkle 3/4 to 1 cup of the mozzarella in a line down the center of each strip.
  • Roll up each dough strip into a long log, as you would for cinnamon rolls. It is easiest to begin by folding the bottom of the dough up over the cheese; if there is any cheese sticking out, stuff it back into the roll. Continue rolling the dough over itself until it forms a log with dough on the outside and all of the pepperoni and mozzarella on the inside. Pinch the seams together, then pinch the sides together. Lightly brush the logs all over with olive oil and transfer them, seam-side down, to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden brown, 12 minutes. Brush the tops of the logs generously with the garlic mixture and return to the oven for another 3 minutes, until the garlic is very fragrant but not yet browned. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the pepperoni rolls to a cutting board and slice into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepot. Add the onions and salt and saute until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano and crushed red pepper; cook 30 seconds to toast the tomato paste and spices. Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container.

FOCACCIA PIZZA

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 1/2 cups bread flour, spooned into measuring cups and then leveled off
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Sauce, recipe follows
5 ounces sliced pepperoni
15 deli-style slices Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
Dried oregano, for garnish
Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish
One 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 clove garlic, finely grated

Steps:

  • Add the flour, salt and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine. Add the water, honey and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil to a 2-cup measuring cup. Whisk to combine. Add the water mixture to the mixer bowl and use a rubber spatula to incorporate the ingredients slightly. Attach the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix on low speed until the mixture forms into a ball and no loose flour is left at the base of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the mixer up to medium speed and knead for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour the remaining olive oil into a 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Turn the dough out onto the baking sheet. Turn it once to coat all the sides of the dough in the olive oil. Cover the pan with an inverted baking sheet of the same size and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Remove the top baking sheet and, using the tips of your fingers, delicately stretch the dough until it almost reaches the edges of the pan. Cover again with the rimmed baking sheet and let the dough rest while you make the Sauce (see recipe below).
  • Uncover the dough and delicately stretch the dough to reach all the edges of the pan again. If the dough springs back too much, let the dough sit for another 5 to 10 minutes before trying to stretch it further. Once the dough is stretched to fit the pan, top it with the sauce. Cover the sauce completely with the pepperoni, then top the pepperoni with the sliced cheese. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the cheese is lightly browned in spots and the crust is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and use a large spatula to transfer it to a cutting board. Top with dried oregano, red pepper flakes and Parmesan. Cut into 16 squares and serve immediately.
  • Add the tomatoes, olive oil, salt, sugar and garlic to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Categories     condiment

Time 25m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
One 32-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 sprig fresh basil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, with the saucepan loosely covered in foil to avoid splattering and stirring occasionally, until fairly thick, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your tomatoes. Remove the basil.

CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA



Cauliflower Crust Pizza image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small head cauliflower, chopped (5 to 6 cups)
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a pizza stone and peel or two rimless baking sheets
  • Place a pizza stone or rimless baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 475 degrees F.
  • Add the cauliflower to a food processor; pulse until finely ground, about the consistency of couscous. Pour the cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel (I like flour sack towels for this) and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • To a large bowl, add the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, some black pepper and the egg. Mix until the mixture holds together when pinched.
  • Line a pizza peel or a second rimless baking sheet with parchment paper; liberally brush with olive oil. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a 12-inch-wide circle on the parchment. Slide the parchment onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake until the cauliflower crust is barely golden and darker at the edges, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven, sprinkle with the mozzarella and spread the marinara sauce over the top (this keeps the crust dry). Slide the pizza back onto the pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until bubbly and browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
  • Scatter the basil over the top. Slice and serve.
