Joeys Summer Pizza Recipes

CHEF JOEY'S POLENTA CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450'F.
• Spray a 12 inch pizza pan with oil.
• Remove the polenta from its package and drain off the water. Cut it up in pieces and put into the food processor.
• Process the polenta. It will be crumbly. Add in the water, arrowroot flour, Italian herbs, garlic powder and 1/4 cup Romano cheese. Process again until a doughy mixture is obtained.
• Using a spatula, scoop the polenta onto the oiled pizza pan. Spray your hands with oil and pat the polenta into the pizza pan making sure you get it evenly as possible.
• Bake it in your preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• While its cooking, cut up your broccoli heads, scallion and pepper.
• When the polenta crust is done remove and top with the spaghetti sauce, tempeh, pepper, broccoli and scallions, cheeses and Italian herbs.
• Put back into the oven for 25 minutes.
• Remove when done, let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
• Bon Appetit!

JOEY'S SUMMER PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. Set Philadelphia cream cheese in a small mixing bowl to soften.
• 2. Unroll crescent rolls, press onto a round pizza stone to form a crust. Pierce dough a with fork.
• 3. Bake at 350* for approximately 15 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned. Set aside and cool completely.
• 4. This is your pizza sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine with the softened cream cheese, the mayo, salsa, and seasonings. Mix well. Spread onto completely cooled crust.
• 5. Now for the toppings: You can use any combo of fresh veggies you like. We like tomatoes, green pepper, shredded carrots, chopped celery, sliced black olives and green or sweet onion. Top those with shredded lettuce and shredded cheese. Chill and serve.
• 6. Notes: We eat this as a meal, but you can cut smaller pieces for an appetizer. It can easily be doubled and put on a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan. If you want to add chopped ham, I would add it with the veggies, before the lettuce. I didn't include an amount for the veggies/lettuce/cheese, just a nice covering... not too heavy, as it will be messier to eat. You can use any low-fat product in this. It is very forgiving.
