White Meatza Recipes

KETO MEATZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• To a mixing bowl, add ground pork, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and mix together until well-combined.
• Rip off two even-sized pieces of parchment paper and transfer ground pork mixture to top of one piece of parchment paper and place other piece of parchment paper atop meat. Using a rolling pin, roll meat until it is an even layer. Remove and discard the top piece of parchment paper before, using hands, forming meat into a rectangle. Carefully slide a baking sheet beneath parchment paper and transfer baking sheet to oven to bake for 10 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking time.
• Remove pan from oven and carefully pour grease from baking sheet into a can or jar to discard. Using paper towels, blot excess grease off of meat.
• Scoop and spread tomato sauce into even layer atop meat crust. Sprinkle ¼ cup (28g) shredded mozzarella atop tomato sauce. Top with chopped mushrooms, grated parmesan, and dried oregano before sprinkling remaining ¼ cup (28g) shredded mozzarella atop. Return baking sheet to oven and bake until shredded mozzarella is melted, about 7-10 minutes, before turning oven broiler on and broiling until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 1 additional minute.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and allow pizza to cool slightly before cutting into slices. Serve with sprinkle of fresh oregano on top.

MEATZZA RECIPE (MEAT-CRUST PIZZA)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 14-inch rimmed, non-perforated pizza pan with a circle of high-heat-resistant parchment paper. You can also use a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment and make the pizza a bit smaller in diameter.
• On the prepared baking sheet, flatten the ground beef into a very thin, large circle - make it as thin as you can (1/8-inch thick is good). I use a rolling pin to roll it as thin as I can, then use my fingers to spread it evenly so that it covers the entire pan.
• Sprinkle the ground beef with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
• Bake the meat crust in the preheated oven until fully cooked. If rolled thin, this should take about 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and switch the oven to broil. By now, the meat crust has shrunk and is sitting in a pool of cooking liquids. Carefully transfer it, using two wide spatulas, to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread the meat base with pizza sauce, then sprinkle the cheese evenly on top. Add your toppings. Return to the oven and broil just until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. You can also bake in the 400F oven for 5 more minutes instead of broiling, but I do like the way broiling crisps up the meaty edges.
• Allow the meatzza to rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into 8 triangles and serving.

PEPPERONI MEATZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix together salt, caraway seeds, oregano, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
• Mix ground beef and eggs in a mixing bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Add Parmesan cheese and seasoning mixture to beef; combine. Press ground beef mixture into a 12x17-inch pan, spread out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over baked meat, followed by tomato sauce in an even layer. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce and top with slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over pizza.
• Broil until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

BREAKFAST MEATZA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Place your breakfast sausage in a medium bowl and crack an egg directly in. Mix with your hands until the egg is broken up and you have a big ball of goo.
• Pour your meat mixture into a 8×8 glass baking dish and press down until you have an even surface through the entire dish.
• Put in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until you see the fat rise up to the top. It won't have to be completely cooked through since you will be cooking it a second time. Once you pull it out of the oven, discard of any excess fat if you'd like. I did.
• While your meatza is cooking, cut up your bacon and throw in alarge pan over medium heat. Cook until completely cooked through and a bit crispy. Then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate with a paper towel to soak up excess fat. Pour the remaining excess bacon fat in the pan into a jar, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons in the pan.
• Add your garlic clove, then add your sweet potato and yellow onion to the pan.
• Let the onion and sweet potato cook down for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from burning.
• Once your sweet potatoes are soft and your meatza has cooked, start making layers. Add your sweet potato/onion mixture to the top of your meatza, evenly distributed. Then crack 6 eggs on top, you pick where you'd like them to go. And finally top with bacon through the eggs.
• Place back in the oven to cook for 8-10 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your preference. If you don't like eggs over-easy or over-medium, you could make scrambled eggs instead to top it off with!
• Let cool. Top with hot sauce because hot sauce is delightful.

MEATZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220ºC/200°C Fan/gas mark 7/425ºF. In a large bowl, using your hands, combine the mince, Parmesan, breadcrumbs or oats, parsley and eggs. Grate in (or mince and add) the garlic and add some salt and pepper. Do not overwork it, just lightly mix together, or the meat will become compacted and dense. Butter a shallow, round baking tin of about 28cm / 11 inches diameter and turn the meat into it, pressing the mixture lightly with your fingers to cover the bottom as if the seasoned minced meat were your pizza crust. Make sure you've drained as much runny liquid as possible out of your can of chopped tomatoes, then mix the tomato with the garlic oil, oregano and some salt and pepper and spread, using a rubber spatula, lightly on top of the meat base. Arrange the mozzarella slices on top, and then put in the oven for 20-25 minutes, by which time the meat should be cooked through and lightly set and the mozzarella melted. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes, then adorn with some basil leaves and bring it to the table before cutting into wedges, like a pizza.

WHITE MEATZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degress. Prepare a baking sheet or pizza pan. (I cover a small baking sheet with aluminum foil then spray with cooking spray).
• Mix all of the crust ingredients in a large bowl until well blended. Dump the mixture onto the prepared pan and spread in a very thin, even layer. The layer should be no more than 1/3 inch thick. Do not allow any bare spots. HINT: if you wet your hands to spread the meat mixture the meat doesn't stick and will spread easily.
• Bake the meat for 15-20 minutes, or until dry and lightly browned. The meat will shrink away from the edges of the pan a small amount,.
• Remove from oven and set aside.
• While the meat is baking, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well. Use as much milk as needed to make a spreadable saucem but not too thin.
• Spread the sauce over the still hot meat layer.
• Top with desired toppings such as shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh spinach leaves, artichoke hearts, bell peppers, mushrooms, slices of chicken breast, onions, etc. to approximate a creamy chicken pizza.
• This crust is also great as a veggie pizza with pesto sauce. Blend pesto with as much olive oil as desired to make a spreadable sauce, then top with whatever cheese and veggies you choose. I like feta, olives, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes.
• Return the meatza to the oven for a few minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese and heat the toppings through.
• Play with different types of sauces and toppings to suit your tastes.
