Pizza Recipes

For regular pizzas:

You'll need:

Olive oil
Pizza sauce (or spaghetti sauce)
Pizza toppings: cheese, red onions, olives, pepperoni, etc.

1. Grease the pan you're dough will go into.
2. Spread out dough to right size and place in pan.
3. Allow to rise for a few hours.
4. Pre-heat oven to 400°.
5. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Pull out, place toppings on top and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until your pizza is done.

For "Fried Pizza" {our favorite}:

You'll need:

Olive Oil
Butter
Pizza sauce (or spaghetti sauce)
Pizza toppings.

1. Oil your counter top by drizzling a bit of oil onto the counter and spreading it around with either the dough, your hand or a piece of saran wrap.

2. Roll your dough out to the shape and size you want it, keeping it a fairly thin dough - so that it can cook through during the frying time.

No, I don't always make sure it's perfectly round. 

3. Place a pan on the oven. Turn on the temperature to a medium to medium-low setting. Place a 1/2 T. or so of butter in the middle of the pan and spread around so that the dough will touch only a greased surface.

4. Place the dough onto the greased pan.

5. Spread some sauce onto the dough. 

6. Place all of your other toppings on top.

7. Place a lid on top of the pan and allow to fry for 3-5 minutes or until the dough is thoroughly cooked.

8. Once cooked, take pizza out of pan, slice and indulge your appetite for some delicious pizza!

9. Enjoy that crispy crust!

Note: If you are using raw cheese (and I usually do), to help preserve the cheeses' enzyme this is what I'd do: Make the pizza as mentioned above, only leave out the cheese. Allow the pizza to cool a bit after it's all fried up. Then place the raw cheese on top, allow it to melt some and then eat. 

High heat temperatures kill the enzymes in the raw cheese so all you're doing by cooking it this way is avoiding exposing the raw cheese to high temperatures.
