Pizza Margrita - Party Time

This is just an awesome pizza that’s so simple to make and it looks great when you put it on the table, your friends  will love you for it.  I made the simple version and added just a few simple items to it, for I like the taste of the good grade olive oil and fresh basil to come through. Sometimes simplicity is the best.

Go ahead and add whatever you like and make it your way and please let me know how it turned out.

***************************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

1 1/2  Cups - 550 All purpose  flour.

1 Tsp. - Active yeast
1 to 3 Tsp. - Olive oil (parts)
1/2 Cup - Water
1 Tsp. - Sugar
1/2 Tsp. - Salt

More water as needed.


Topping;
-  Tomato sauce
-  Mozzarella cheese
-  Fresh basil
- Parsley

Options;
- Sweet Peppers
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Onions



 Makes a 12 in. Pizza 



***************************************************************************************************************

By boiling your fresh tomato's for about five minutes it  will break down the fibers  and make it release most of it's juices from it. If you are using a metal strainer then use a utensil that will not be rubbing and scraping on metal to metal. 

There is really nothing better then making your own tomato sauce from fresh tomato's. Now at this point add anything you want to the sauce and make it your own.

Remember that we do not want the sauce to thick or watery. To thick then it will dry out, to thin and it will over wet the dough and make it it soggy. I usually add the sauce to about half an inch up to the edge so in this way I get a nice crunch on the pizza.

Awaaa !!! the Mozzarella cheese, I like it to be fresh and I cut it in about 1/4 inch pieces for in this way I get a different taste in every-bite, form the awesome crust, the sauce and the combination of them all. Now if you want you can still shred the cheese and add it more evenly all around.

Any way you cut it, it will always turn out awesome and your Family and friends will love you for it. Do not forget to make some extra for it will go really fast.

Pizza Apple Dessert - Really Awesome

Pizza Apple Dessert - Really Awesome

Can we call this a pizza, does it look like one, you bet-yeah  it does.  Just watch your Friends and Families  eyes become wide open when you come with it to the table.  The  crunch  of the  pizza  with the full flavors of the  sauté  apple’s, well it’s just  mmm mmm  Good.

Try it and let me know how it turned out, also try it with different toppings  for it’s all “just awesome”. 

**********************************************************************************************************

In this pizza pie you can remove the apple skins or leave them on, either way it still will be awesome. I like the smooth taste when the skins are removed and I feel it give off a better texture and taste. 

If you you want a more of a crunch with your apple slices then slice them a 1/4 of an inch, but to get a more soft  slice with the apple's then slice them down to 1/8 of an inch. Try them both way and see which way you would prefer.

Keep and eye on the temperature settings. Bake it in very hot oven say around  400 degrees  for anywhere from 10 to 12 minutes.  There is a big different's between a electrical and a gas stove, even if you settings are the same.  

                                                                                Add other toppings to it like I did here, I added icing sugar but add it just before you serve it because it will dissolved in a few minutes into the apples, but it does have the wow factor when you present it to the table.

Pizza Procottio With Arugula

Pizza  Procottio With  Arugula

Ahh the pizza, I know that I have not done a recipe for it, I just kept making them and have my friends and Family gobble them up.  So  I figured  that all the cooking channels  were making them  and  no one would  take interest  in another pizza video.

 Now I have to say that this is my signature pizza and everyone’s  favorite here  around me.  I just love to make this one with a stone-ground flour because it gives a really nice texture and taste.  Also by lowering the amount of yeast I get it to the firmness  I want.

I did not use any tomato sauce because I wanted  it to  have a more of a crisp clean taste of the arugula with  the full flavor of the prosciutto coming through with a hit of saltiness. Now if you want to use a tomato sauce then you can  boil  say about two tomatoes and then smash them and then strain them  into a bowl. Add salt, dash of sugar, pepper  and a drop of virgin olive oil and there you go, tomato sauce…

I know this will be your best pizza that your family and friends will enjoy.

  

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe....

2 Cups - 50/50 whole grain stone-ground flour.

1 Tsp. - Active yeast
3 to 3 Tbsp. - Olive oil (parts)
1/4 Cup - Beer
1 Tsp. - Sugar
1/2 Tsp. - Salt

Water as needed.

Topping;
-  Procottio
-  Arugula
-  Parmesan cheese

Options;
- Tomato sauce
- Sweet Peppers
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Onions

Alternative;
- Wholewheat or white flour.
- 2 1/2  Tsp. - Active yeast for more rise.



*************************************************************************************************************

I added  only 1 Tsp. of Yeast to the dough because I want a more firm pizza and this way there is less then a rise. Now if you like a more airy  dough then add up to 2 1/2 tsps of yeast and let it rise all the way. 

A good grade olive oil can make the different's between a  awesome taste or just a regular "it's ok" taste. Sprinkle it on the spread out dough but try not to over do it and have the whole thing covered.   

The saltiness of the  Procottio goes just great with the subtle  taste of olive oil. Add different  herbs to the pizza and see how you can enjoy it more.

Make sure that you let the pizza cool off for about  5 mins just enough in order not to dry out the procottio and  not to cook or over heat the arugula.

Make sure that after it cools down that you get it to the table right after you add your toppings, because of those hungry Friends and Family. They will not be able to wait with the aroma of this pizza..

lol !!  Well this was the only thing left of the two pizzas after my Girlfriend and I got a hold of them.. Trust me, Make more for you will need it.
