Yummy Pizza

07:21 PM, Tuesday, October 7, 2008 .. Posted in Meal Recipes .. 2 comments .. Link
I was playing around with a variety of recipes today, and came up with my newest, and FAVORITE version of pizza.  The crust was perfect and the sauce was very flavorful!


Crust:
1 cup fresh-ground wheat flour
3 - 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tb yeast
1 1/2 c lukewarm water
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tb olive oil
about 1 Tb cornmeal

Sauce:
1 1/2 Tb olive oil
2 - 3 large cloves of garlic
1 (14 oz) can of fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
2 Tb tomato paste
1 Tb oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper
1 Tb lemon juice


Toppings:
1/2 lb Italian sausage, browned
1 small red onion, thinly sliced 
2 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
(You can choose other toppings if you like.)

Pour water into a large mixing bowl, and stir in yeast.  Let sit 5 minutes to dissolve. 
When yeast is dissolved, beat in wheat flour, and 1/2 c all-purpose flour. 
Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Stir in salt and olive oil
Add in the rest of the flour 1/2 c at a time, until you have a soft, kneadable dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead vigorously for about 8 minutes, til you have a smooth elastic dough.  Form a ball.
Place dough into an oiled bowl, turning to coat.
Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
Meanwhile prepare sauce and toppings.
*
In a small skillet, add olive oil and garlic.  Saute until tender and golden.  Then combine all sauce ingredients in a food processor, and "buzz" until a "saucy" consistency.
*
After the pizza dough has risen, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Sprinkle a bar pan with cornmeal.
Turn dough out onto bar pan, Using your fingertips, gently and gradually push the dough out over the pan.  Do not roll it out, you want it to be a little "bumpy" and have some bubbles.
Top with sauce and toppings, but not cheese.

Bake for 10 minutes.  Sprinkle with cheese, and bake 10 more minutes.

Enjoy!

Tell me you have help in the kitchen, that this is the work of an elfin fairy. How neat, your family must be glad all the time. Truly. Do you really always eat this way? : D

Thanks so much for sharing - I may be inspired, but I KNOW I'm hungry now. There is nothing in my kitchen that can be put together like that..

Good job! I'll come back later for some more readings, I would love to hear your thoughts on the election and such things ..... : ] I am waiting for the Lord's leading on how to approach this election as a voter.

Take care,
Michele

Thank you for your comment. That was very kind of you. Yes, we always eat like that ;-) I grew up with a mom that cooked every meal, unless we ate out, which wasn't very often. So home-cooked food is a norm for me, though I cook healthier and a little more "scratch" than my mother did. I am pleased that I can be a blessing to my husband and children by doing as such.

Politics....I posted a while back about my views this year. I truly believe that if you don't have a person that you are drawn to, that you could honestly say "I really want that person to be our president" and feel good about it, then truthfully, there is no reason to vote. Voting isn't an obligation, it is your personal endorsement. Your vote is something to be earned by those seeking it. Not given to someone as you hold your nose. I actually had a "debate" of sorts with someone on a "Christian" forum over whether we were actually disobeying God by not voting. She was scolding another lady for not wanting to vote this year, and I tried to defend her.

But the short version is, we are not biblically mandated to vote. We are not being "bad stewards" of our country. The bible is actually pretty clear that this world is not our home, and that our hope and our future come from God. That we are seeking a city yet to come. My hope is not in the newest politician. My hope is in God alone.

She banned me from the forum....I guess that's what happens when you don't agree with the admin. LOL

But that sums up how I feel about it. :-)
