Green Onion Pizza Dough Recipes

GREEN ONION RECIPES (PIZZA & MORE!)

Steps:

• Follow the Best Pizza Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
• Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 475°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here's the pizza oven we use).
• Slice the green parts off of the scallions so they form long ribbons. In a small skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the scallions and sauté until slightly tender, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
• Brush olive oil over the dough and sprinkle with kosher salt. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese, then the Pecorino cheese. Top with scallions. Carefully crack two eggs on top and sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt.
• Transfer the pizza to the pizza stone using the pizza peel, and bake until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny, about 7 minutes.

GREEN ONION PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add active yeast, lukewarm water and honey. Stir and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile in a medium bowl, add 2 ½ cups of flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil and ground sea salt; whisk until well blended. Add green onions and whisk well; set aside.
• Add oil and flour mixture to the yeast. With the dough hook attachment on, process on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
• Increase to speed 3 and continue mixing by adding 1 tablespoon at a time of the reserved ½ cup of flour. Keep adding until the dough clings to the hook, cleaning the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to 4 and kneed for 4 minutes.
• Grease hands with oil and form a ball by pulling the dough under. Place it in a large bowl lightly greased and rotate the dough around to coat it with oil. Cover with a clean dish towel and transfer to a draft-free area such as an oven with the heat off. Let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in volume.
• Punch the dough to deflate it, form a ball again by folding it under, place it back in the bowl, cover with the dish towel, and return it to its draft-free spot for another rise of an hour.
• When time is up, punch it again and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Form a ball by pulling under and divide the dough into 2 equal pieces.
• Form a ball with each piece and working with one at a time, dust with flour and roll it out into a 12-inch diameter with a floured rolling pin. If it's a little sticky, lightly sprinkle on more flour.
• Transfer each rolled dough onto a pizza pan dusted with corn meal, stretch it and push it out to form a ridge around the edge and proceed with your recipe.

SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONION DEEP DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the water and oil and mix to combine (you may have to get in there with a spatula to help everything incorporate). Turn the mixer to medium-high and knead the dough until it is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl without sticking, adding more flour 1 tablespoon at a time if needed, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Coat a large bowl with oil and transfer the dough to the bowl. Toss a few times to coat the dough. Cover and let sit at room temperature until it has doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Once the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Liberally coat two 10-inch cake pans with the softened butter. Divide the dough into two balls and place each one in a pan. Cover loosely and let sit for about 20 minutes while the oven preheats and you prepare the other toppings.
• Place the tomatoes in a strainer and sprinkle on a couple good pinches of salt; let drain for 10 minutes. Flatten out the dough all over the bottoms of the pans and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Top with cheese slices, overlapping them. Tear the sausage into golf ball-size pieces, then press on top of the cheese and flatten, leaving little holes for the cheese to poke through. Top with the tomatoes, peppers and onions. Sprinkle over the Pecorino-Romano and oregano.
• Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown, the cheese on top is turning golden and the sauce has begun to bubble, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if desired.
