PIZZA WAFFLES

https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/pizza-waffles/2f105874-4e6c-4906-af94-546310199b4b

PIZZA WAFFLES
My family loved these!  Abagail said she wanted them for her birthday.  I used regular size pepperoni because I didn't want to pay for the little ones (couple bucks more).  We couldn't really taste the pepperoni so maybe put more next time or buy the mini ones (or try sausage).  I did cut them on the side, flatened slightly, added the pepperoni and cheese and then pinched shut.  Some cheese leaked but not very much.  I used shredded cheese because that is what I had on hand.

1 can flaky layer biscuits (original)
8 slices mozzarella cheese (shredded works too)
2 cups pizza sauce (we had marinara)

Heat waffle maker.  Spray waffle maker with cooking spray.  Separate dough into 8 biscuits.  Cut slit on 1 side of each biscuit, forming a deep pocket.  Place 1 slice of cheese into each pocket.  Top cheese with 6 or 7 pepperoni slices.  Press dough around edge to seal each biscuit.

Place 1 biscuit on center of waffle maker.  Close lid; cook 3 minutes or until waffle is golden brown.  Serve with pizza sauce.

ROASTED GARLIC CHICKEN & MOZZARELLA PIZZA - PESTO

ROASTED GARLIC CHICKEN & MOZZARELLA PIZZA WITH PESTO SAUCE
I did roast the garlic (super easy -see post).  I got a cube of mozzarella and sliced.  We used the pesto from a jar I got from Costco.  We all LOVED this except Scott.  I did a big cookie sheet and did the other half pepperoni.  Used pizza crust from made from scratch. Would be really good on thin crust recipe.

https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2015/04/24/roasted-garlic-chicken-mozzarella-pizza-with-homemade-basil-pesto/

  • 2-3 cloves roasted garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) Homemade Basil Pesto (or variations listed in that recipe or store-bought)
  • 1 cup cooked and sliced chicken breast (about one 8-ounce breast)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (6oz or 168g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • optional: fresh basil for topping
PESTO:
https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2015/04/24/how-to-make-homemade-basil-pesto/

  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves roasted garlic
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt and fresh ground pepper
  1. Blend the basil, pine nuts, cheese, and garlic together in a food processor or blender. Pour oil in slowly while still mixing (or a little at a time, then mix, then more oil, then mix again, etc). Scrape down the sides, then add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until everything is blended together and relatively smooth. Taste and add more salt/pepper if desired.
  2. Make ahead/storing: Store leftover pesto in a jar, tightly seal, and refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze the pesto for up to 2-3 months. You can freeze it in greased ice cube trays and thaw small portions at a time.

FRUIT PIZZA (NO SUGAR)

http://courtneycrozier.com/no-sugar-added-fruit-pizza-yum/

Made this for Jenna's b-day (2017).  She really liked it and requested it for Thanksgiving.

Sugar Free Sugar Cookie Crust:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (I use Kerrygold)
1/3 cup baking stevia or no-calorie sweetener of choice (I like to stick with Stevia here to keep it natural!)
1 whole egg OR 2 egg whites (I used the full egg)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (a little goes a LONG way here! don’t overdo it!)
1 cup gluten free flour (you can also use whole wheat pastry flour, which is what my original recipe called for. I am going to try it with almond flour soon!)
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Directions to make cookie crust:
1) In a medium bowl, cream together butter, and sugar substitute with a hand mixer. Add egg/egg whites, and extracts and beat until it is combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, until just combined. Do not over mix to avoid toughness! — Wrap dough and place it back in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes, or until dough is cold.
2) To make one BIG pizza, roll the dough out on a baking sheet or pizza pan to the sizing of your choice. If you want to make personal fruit pizzas, cut the dough into shapes/sizes that you wish. Cook on a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool COMPLETELY before adding the toppings! (I let mine cool for 3 hours).
Cream Cheese Frosting/Topping:
8 ounces low fat or regular cream cheese
1/4 cup baking stevia/truvia (you might have to tweek this depending on the brand you use!)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions to make frosting:
1) In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to mix cream cheese, stevia, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Place in the fridge for a half hour.

Directions to put the fruit pizza together:
At this point, the recipe is simple! All you have to do is throw your ingredients together! Take the fully cooled cookie crust and spread the cream cheese frosting all over the top of the crust. After this is done, pick your FAVORITE fruits to add to the top! My two favorites are blueberries and strawberries (you can cut them anyway you’d like), but in the photo above you can see we also used kiwi and raspberries too! Try any type of fruit and I’m sure it will be delish!!!

THIN PIZZA CRUST

THIN PIZZA CRUST
Yum!  We really liked this.  Makes 3-4 crusts.  Used round stoneware and the oil dripped in oven.  Next time only use extra oil if using cookie sheet.

Keep on reading for the SECRET TIP!

4 1/2 cups flour (did 3/4 c wheat)
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. yeast dissolved in 
1 3/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for pans)

Dissolve the yeast in your warm water.  

Add all ingredients together in your kitchen aid (or other mixer with a dough hook) and knead on medium until dough is combines and pulls away from the bowl. 

Then let is rest and rise for about 30 minutes to an hour.

This is the secret (INSERT FIREWORKS HERE!!!) to the best crust (I didn't believe it until my sister in law, Gracie, made me try it...) is to oil your pans with a ton of oil (I already knew that trick) and then oil your crust with even MORE oil once it is on the pan!

Bake your pizza with all your favorite toppings in an oven on 425 ? until your crust comes out looking like this:

You want to be able to lift the crust up without it drooping... it's almost like a cracker texture.

It is sooooooo good. The olive oil not only makes it the crunchiest crust you can imagine, but it also gives the most amazing flavor to your pizza!

Doesn't this make you want pizza right now?! This crust is perfection!

Comments:

This is my "go to" crust now! Thank you! I did not use a Kitchen Aid, instead I just kneaded it for a good 5 minutes, until really smooth. Also used bread flour, b/c Alton Brown said that the extra protein in it makes a chewier crust...have to say it did! I also just baked it on a pizza stone, but I think the secret that you have is the 1/4 cup of oil in the dough! Amazing! Thank you! BTW, how many pizzas do you get out of this? I made two enormous ones. I'm thinking I could make 3, 12" thin crust as well! Great recipe!

You just made my day! Love the tip about the bread flour. I'll have to try that one out! :)

As far as how many it makes for me: 3-4 thin crusts. Sometimes I use the extra dough for calzones and freeze them... Other times I just make an extra pizza... We like cold day old pizza in our home! :)

My dad and I have a traditional pizza night whenever I come home from college. We were searching for a crispy, cracker-like crust recipe, and this is it! We do whole wheat instead of white, however the result is still fantastic! Thanks for this great recipe! We use it every pizza night now!

I love the flavor but I can't seem to get my crust as thin as yours. So it doesn't come as crispy. Any suggestions?

Hannah @ We Lived Happily Ever AfterJanuary 16, 2015 at 11:15 AM
Make sure you water is really warm/hot. This will allow your dough to be pliable. Another tip is to add more water or oil (start with a little, and add more as needed) so the dough is more moist. It may be a little messier, but it will roll out smoother. Hope that helps! :)

I tried this with a pizza stone and lost the whole bottom of the pizza! I really enjoyed the crust that I could salvage. I am going to try again tonight with some parchment paper between the crust and stone, so I can still have the olive oil on the bottom. **fingers crossed** Just wanted anyone with a pizza stone to know :) Thanks for the great recipe! Hopefully, this will allow me to continue using my pizza stone and this new method.

Love this crust!!!! I have been in search of a great thin crust for over a year and this is the one!!! The only changes I made was that I bake the crust first for about 5 minutes in the oven before putting my toppings on it. This helped make it almost a cracker crust which we love. Awesome recipe :)

BREAKFAST PIZZA

TROY'S BREAKFAST PIZZA
This came from the Cowboy Cookbook pg 181.  We all really liked it.  The Crescent rolls didn't work right so I quickly made pie crust.  Turned out good.  Pizza dough would work too.

UPDATE: Tried making in 9x13 stoneware.  Dough was too thick.  Stick with cookie sheet or maybe try really big pyrex so eggs don't go off edge.

This is for one cookie sheet:
2 cans of Crescent dinner rolls or pie crust or pizza crust
1 # pork sausage, cooked 
slice of ham, cooked 
2-3 pieces bacon, cooked
2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (any cheese will do)
7 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375.  Put down crust on cookie sheet.  Put on meats.  Sprinkle on hash browns, then cheddar cheese.  Beat eggs with  milk and add salt & pepper.  Pour over top of pizza.  Top with Parmesan cheese.  Bake for 30 minutes.

BREAKFAST PIZZA
We all really, really liked this.  Was very filling.  A meal by itself of with a veggie or fruit.  We broke off our crust and put honey on it.

Made a biscuit crust (used recipe Cowboy cookbook pg. 202) Was thick could 1/2 recipe for a thinner crust.  Could also use prepackaged biscuit dough.

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
8 tsp baking powder
2 T sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt (only did 1 tsp)
6 T butter, softened
6 T Crisco
1 1/2 cups milk (had 1/2 1/2 that needed to be used)

Preheat oven to 450.  Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl.  Cut in butter and Crisco until mixture resembles coarse meal.  Stir in milk with a fork to form a soft dough.  Turn onto a floured board and knead for 30 seconds.  Rolled out onto round stoneware.  Bake for 10 minutes.

Topped crust with the following in this order:
*Italian seasoning, sprinkled
*cooked - Scrambled eggs (did 8 with chopped spinach - could easily do more eggs)
*Shredded parmesan cheese
*cooked italian sausage (could omit this - just had some on hand)
*fresh or canned diced tomatoes (I didn't realize I grabbed a stewed tomatoes.  So I drained on a paper towel and diced.  Worked well!
*precooked bacon (did 8 slices) tear and sprinkle
*sharp cheddar cheese (any cheese would do)

Broil until cheese melts. 

BREAKFAST PIZZA
This came from The Friend.  We really liked it.  I liked you made it in a 9x13.  Was easy!

6 slices bread
8 eggs
2 T water
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 cup chopped olives
24 slices pepperoni
3 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400.

Cover the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan with the bread slices.  If necessary, trim the bread to fit.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs,  water and seasoning together.  Pour evenly over the bread.

Arrange the pepperoni on the casserole.  Then cover with the chopped olives and shredded cheese.

Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked.

PIZZA CRUST AND SAUCE

This was really good.  I didn't do her method of cooking, but liked how the crust tasted and LOVED the pizza sauce.  I made the pizza sauce in the braun.  Was able to get one round pizza and one cookie sheet pizza out of the sauce.  I 1.5 the pizza crust recipe to make one round and one cookie sheet.  Judi had given us two fresh mozzarella packages.  They made the pizza a little bit wetter but it was good. We also did pepperoni, cheese, pepperoni and cheese, breakfast sausage with green peppers.

Homemade Pizza – New and Improved
YIELD: MAKES 2 12-INCH PIZZAS OR 1 LARGE 16 TO 18-INCH PIZZA
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
DIRECTIONS
  1. Make the dough the night before or early the morning on the day you want to make the pizza. In a large mixing bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), mix the water, yeast, sugar, honey and oil. (If using active dry yeast, increase the amount of yeast to 2 3/4 teaspoons and proof the yeast in the water until foamy before mixing in the sugar, honey and oil.) Then mix in 1 cup flour and the salt. Continue mixing in all the remaining flour until you get a nice, soft dough. Knead until dough is soft and smooth, about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer.
  2. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl and cover tightly (with a lid or plastic wrap). Place the dough in the refrigerator to slowly rise until three hours before baking. Three hours before baking, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature, keeping it lightly covered.
  3. 45-60 minutes before baking, move the rack to the lowest position in the oven (if the lowest rack in your oven is nearly touching the oven floor, move it up one notch - you don't want it that close or the bottom of the pizza will burn), place the pizza stone on it and preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Don't be nervous about a hot oven! I used to be scared to death to cook anything above 400 degrees but I promise 500 degrees is the only way to go when cooking pizza. If your oven is a bit sketchy at that temperature, bake at 475 degrees. Also,I think a pizza stone makes all the difference in good versus great pizza. I have this pizza stone and I love the rectangular shape. I have baked many a pizza on this stone and it is awesome.
  4. Here's a few different methods for making great pizza:
  5. Pizza Paddle/Peel: I have a wooden pizza paddle, like this, which I sprinkle with cornmeal and place the pizza dough on. I layer my toppings on the dough and slide the dough quickly onto the hot pizza stone. After about 8 or 9 minutes, the pizza is baked to perfection and I slide it onto a cutting board to slice and eat.
  6. Alternative Pizza Paddle/Peel: If you don't have a pizza paddle, you can use the underside of a baking sheet (I use an 11X17 size) or a large cutting board as a makeshift pizza paddle. Cover it lightly with cornmeal, flour or parchment paper, make your pizza on the floured baking sheet or cutting board and gently slide the pizza off of the makeshift paddle onto the baking stone when ready to bake (if using parchment paper, you can let the parchment paper slide onto the baking stone with the pizza). Bake for 8-9 minutes until the crust is nicely browned. Retrieve the pizza with a pair of tongs or a spatula and slide the baked pizza quickly onto a waiting cooling rack.
  7. Rimmed Baking Sheet: If you currently bake pizzas using cornmeal on a pizza paddle, you'll know how messy it can be - cornmeal everywhere. In fact, right now, my oven is in serious need of a good vacuuming. So, ofttimes, I'll still preheat my baking stone like normal and instead of using my wooden pizza paddle, I stretch the dough into an irregular shape on a lightly greased rimmed baking sheet (I don't worry about pressing it into the corners to give it a rustic look), add the toppings, and slide the entire baking sheet on the pizza stone to bake. Bake the pizza for 9-10 minutes until the crust is nicely browned. This method still browns the crust nicely - and while you don't get the extremely authentic pizza crust, it is still mighty delicious and I can make more pizza at once rather than sliding them one at a time onto the baking stone.

WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA ROLL UPS

WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA ROLL UPS
http://www.littlehouseliving.com/whole-wheat-pizza-roll-ups.html

Everyone really liked these.  Fun variation to pizza.  Would definitely make again.  Did with whole wheat dough I always use.  Took out enough dough for 1 loaf of bread.  Made 2 cookie sheets of roll ups.  We also brushed melted butter on each roll and topped with parmesan cheese mixed with pizza seasoning because I forgot to sprinkle on some before rolling up.  According to post these freeze really well.

-roll dough out like you would cinnamon rolls
-top with sauce (1 full jar & maybe more), cheese and toppings (don't over do the toppings) - we did 1 pkg pepperoni and 1/2# cooked breakfast sausage and 1 bag (2 cups) mozzarella cheese
-sprinkle seasonings (WinCo has bulk pizza seasoning)
-roll up like you would a cinnamon roll
-cut like you would a cinnamon roll
-we brushed on melted butter and sprinkled parmesan cheese, but you would have to do this step
-bake at 350 for 25 min

Really good dipped in pizza or spaghetti sauce.

Homemade Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
YIELD: MAKES 24-28 PIZZA ROLLS
I've made these pizza rolls (and our favorite pizza dough) with all types of flour. Bread flour, all-purpose unbleached flour, and white whole wheat flour. My favorite combo is probably half bread flour, half white whole wheat flour; the dough is extremely versatile!
We really liked these.  Did one 1/2 pepperoni and 1/2 italian sausage.  Everyone liked the pepperoni better. Didn't have mozzarella so we did a white cheese and sharp cheddar.  Used spaghetti sauce.  Was good but would like to try homemade next time.  We did the extra sauce for dipping.  Yum!  Did 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour.
INGREDIENTS
    Pizza Dough:
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour (see note above)
  • Filling:
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups pizza sauce (homemade recipe here) - see blog post
  • 8 ounces (about 2 cups) freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 5 ounces pepperoni, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup (about 1 ounce) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet (about 12X18-inches) with parchment paper.
  2. For the dough, in an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (you can also do this by hand in a large bowl with a spoon), stir together the water, honey, olive oil, yeast, salt and 1 cup of the flour. With the mixer on low speed, continue adding the flour until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and forms a soft, smooth ball. Knead for 3-4 minutes (add a few minutes if using whole wheat flour). Let the dough rest, covered, in the bowl for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Separate the dough into two pieces. On a lightly greased countertop, press one portion of dough into a thin rectangle, about 14X10-inches.
  4. Spread 1/2 to 3/4 cup pizza sauce evenly across the top. Sprinkle evenly with half the mozzarella cheese and then half the pepperoni. Starting with on long side, roll up cinnamon-roll style, pinching the seam together to seal.
  5. Place the cornmeal in a bowl or shallow dish. Cut the dough into 1-inch sections. One by one, press the bottom of each pizza roll into the cornmeal and then place on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
  6. Repeat with the remaining half of dough.
  7. Once all the pizza rolls are placed on the baking sheet, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
  8. Warm the extra pizza sauce, and serve the pizza rolls immediately out of the oven with the pizza sauce for dipping.

PIZZA

CANADIAN BACON AND PINEAPPLE PIZZA
We loved this pizza - super delicious!!! Very easy to make. I took this to a potluck and only got one piece, so I was glad I had enough to make another one. This is a pizza I could have every week. Came from Jackson's Pillsbury 2010 calendar.

1 can refrigerated pizza crust (original or thin) - also made it with Naomi's 15 minute bread recipe - worked great (used 1 cup gluten free, 1 1/2-2 cups white)
1 pkg (6 oz) sliced provolone cheese
1 pkg (5-6 oz) sliced Canadian bacon
1 can (8 oz) pineapple chunks, well drained on paper towels (I had rings on hand that I cut up)
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup or more chopped green or yellow bell pepper (about 1/2 of a pepper)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)

Heat oven to 425 for classic or 400 for thin. It says to spray the cookie sheet (15 x 10 rectangle), so I sprayed my pizza stone. (When I made Naomi's bread I used a cookie sheet that had been sprayed and topped with corn meal - we liked).

Unroll dough, starting at center, press dough out.

Top dough with provolone cheese. Arrange Canadian bacon, pineapple, onion and bell pepper over provolone cheese to within 1/2" of edges (also left the center free of toppings except cheese. Scott says it cooks better that way). Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.

Bake classic for 16-20 and thin for 10-14 minutes.

THREE-CHEESE GARDEN PIZZA
All the best cookbook - The Pampered Chef pg. 22

BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
Everyone really liked this...was easy to put together since I already had the chicken and bacon cooked.  Didn't use the onion and added chunks of pineapple.  Cilantro would be good too.  The BBQ sauce I used was Kraft...it was pretty spicy.  Did homemade dough.  
http://www.simplystacie.net/2015/07/bbq-chicken-pizza/

  • 1 Pillsbury Pizza Crust (or your own homemade pizza crust or other brand of refrigerated pizza crust)
  • ¾ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 small green pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 5 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded (used Sharp)

directions:


  1. Prepare the pizza crust according to package directions. For the Pillsbury Pizza Crust I used, I greased a pizza pan and spread the dough to fit. Then I pre-baked for 8 minutes in a 400°F oven.
  2. Spread barbecue sauce over pizza crust, leaving a gap around the edge.
  3. Evenly distribute green pepper, onions, chicken and bacon over the sauce. Then top with cheddar cheese.
  4. Bake an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

PIZZA BIANCA
I liked this but no one else really did.  Got it from Martha Stewart FOOD magazine.  I used a boboli crust.

  • All-purpose flour, for dusting and rolling
  • 1 pound pizza dough, thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (6 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (1 ounce)
  • 2 ounces baby arugula (2 cups)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly dust a work surface, rolling pin, and a baking sheet with flour. Roll dough out to a 13-inch round and transfer to sheet.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together ricotta, 1 tablespoon oil, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Spread ricotta mixture on dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with mozzarella, then Parmesan. Brush 1 teaspoon oil on edge of dough. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted and browned in spots, 12 to 14 minutes. In a small bowl, toss arugula with 1 teaspoon oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Top pizza with arugula and serve.
