I requested my husband's help in veggie chopping, since there were quite a few (OK fine, he chopped all the veggies while I mixed up the dough). I gave him a list of veggies that were living in the fridge and these are what he picked.
(Just so you know: this recipe is my version of my friend Tonya's "Prova i miei tre pizze !" (Try My 3 Pizzas) )
Dough:
1/4 oz. package of Fleischman's Pizza Crust Yeast (follow the directions on the package. I'm terrible at bread/dough and this came out great!)
Sauce:
Bertolli Organic Olive Oil, Basil and Garlic (I used about 12 oz.)
Veggies:
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
Large can black olives (the can says drained weight 6 oz.)
Fresh white mushrooms (I honestly have no clue how many mushrooms he put on here. Around 4 oz.)
2 Roma tomatoes
Cheese:
4 cups of shredded mozzarella
2 cups of shredded cheddar (I did mention I like cheese right?)
Coarsely chop the veggies and mix together in a large bowl, then spread over the dough. Chop the tomatoes in large pieces and add on top.

Now, spread on the cheese and pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes on 425.
I used my Pampered Chef pizza stone which is quite large and so the crust was very thin (but still good). I think next time I would not spread the dough so thin and add a lip around the crust since I now have sauce puddles in the bottom of the oven.
Oh yes, the best part of all? My husbands reaction. He loved it! He as already requested that I make it again.

Ooo, This looks GREAT! Yay for you and yeast becoming friends. I LOVE those pizza packets! Makes for nice workable dough. Marinated artichoke hearts would be fabbo on this too! Mmmm, now I am getting hungry!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You MUST try buying a ball of fresh Mozzarella next time and shredding it. I am telling you, you'll never want to go back!!!! Ok, that sounded demanding. Pleeease try fresh Mozz next time? Thank you very much. :) (You can thank me later....) tee hee :)
Oooooo artichoke hearts, yum!
ReplyDeleteThat is the easiest dough ever! Thanks for putting it in your post. I actually HAVE fresh mozzarella in the fridge, no idea why I didn't think to use that. I think I must have been starving by then and just wanted it in the oven so we could eat. I love fresh mozzarella. Have you tried the little bite-sized marinated ones? Yum!
