Jans White Pizza Recipes

WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a pizza stone if you use one along with the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stretch dough to form a pie and transfer to stone or pizza baking tray. Pierce the dough with the tines of a fork in several places. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil around the crust. Mix the ricotta cheese with garlic and parsley and season it with salt and black pepper. Spread the ricotta across the dough. Top the pizza with mozzarella or provolone. Bake until crispy, 20 minutes. Top the white pizza pie with the shredded basil leaves, cut and serve.

JAN'S WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare or purchase a large, fresh pizza crust. Prepare garlic and cauliflower as both can be roasted at the same time. Using a serrated knife, slice off tops of the garlic head (s), approximately 1/2 inch. Place garlic heads on a piece of foil. Drizzle cut side with 1 TBS olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the head to create a pouch, completely covering. Roast for 1 hour.
• 2. Wash and cut up cauliflower into flowerets only. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil, coating thoroughly. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once, until tender and edges are browning, but not charred.
• 3. Once all the above have been roasted, cool to touch. Prepare your favorite pizza crust. (I make an easy one in my bread machine!). Spread the crust with a bit of olive oil. Garlic will be a smooth paste. Spread liberally on pizza dough. Top with roasted flowerets. Sprinkle mozzarella chunks liberally. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-13 minutes. (I use a pizza stone, so keep an eye on it if using a metal pan!) Remove and sprinkle with ribbons of fresh basil and bake another 1 minute. Makes a 15" pizza.

JAN'S JALAPENO POPPER PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Saute onion in bacon drippings until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; continue to saute until garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Season the onion mixture with cumin, oregano, and black pepper. Stir cream cheese and sour cream into the onion mixture until smooth and spreadable.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pizza dough; top with mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses. Arrange bacon and jalapeno pepper rings over the cheese layer. Sprinkle parsley over the entire pizza.
