CHEESE PIZZA



Cheese Pizza image

This plain pie tastes anything but basic. Start with my homemade pizza dough and marinara sauce recipes, so you can make this plus many more pizzas. I put the cheese down first to protect the dough from getting soggy from the sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for the surface
One 6-ounce ball pizza dough, at room temperature
3 to 4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, sliced
1 tablespoon Sicilian (or regular dried) oregano (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup marinara sauce, at room temperature
Olive oil, for topping, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to bake the pizza to get the stone nice and hot.
  • Generously sprinkle a flat work surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or unrimmed baking sheet so it can slide right onto the pizza stone in the oven. (I use the bottom of a baking sheet.)
  • Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the oregano, then gently spread the marinara sauce on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust (my favorite part!).
  • Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Use the peel or baking sheet to slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. The heat from the stone will cook the bottom of the pizza and the boiler will char and cook the top, mimicking a Neapolitan pizza oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is evenly crisped, 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Slice the hot pizza and serve immediately.

  • Invest in a pizza stone. The simplest way to maintain great crust consistency is to get—and use—a pizza stone. There are untold numbers of stones sitting in pantries just collecting dust, so break yours out for a preheated turn in the oven.
  • Ditch the directions. Defrost the frozen ‘za and set the oven to a high temperature—like 550 degrees—to replicate the blast-furnace feel of a real pizza oven.
  • Get crispy with a quick fix. Don’t have time to defrost a frozen pizza? Poke a few holes in the bottom to let air escape as the pizza bakes. It’ll make for a crispier crust—and your family won’t complain about soggy slices.
  • Eggs make everything better. Pull the pizza out of the oven when it’s at the halfway baking mark and crack an egg over it. Then return it to the oven.
  • Go Hawaiian. Before popping the pizza into the oven, place canned pineapple slices and shredded ham on top. Voilà! You’ve got Hawaiian pizza in almost no extra time.
  • Get fresh. Nothing brightens up a drab frozen pizza like a sprinkling of fresh basil and olive oil on top. Better yet, loosely shred the basil leaves for a more intense flavor.
  • Upgrade the cheese. It’s universally known that frozen pizza skimps on the cheese. So, augment that reality with a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan, or whole slices of fresh mozzarella and a few small dollops of ricotta.
  • Go west. Kick up the flavor of a frozen pizza by adding cooked chorizo and jalapeno slices for a decidedly western flair. If you want something a bit bolder, sprinkle on a tiny—and we do mean tiny—dash of Ghost Pepper Sea Salt.
  • Veg out. Amp up the health quotient by adding zucchini, broccoli florets and sliced cauliflower to the proceedings. Want it crunchy? Add the veggies raw as the pizza goes into the oven.
  • See food, eat it. Add cooked lobster, shrimp or crabmeat in the last three or four minutes of the pizza’s baking time for seafood that’ll be warm but not overcooked.
