Michael And Mias Mm Pizza Recipes

GRANDMA'S PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Cut the dough in half; you should have enough for two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. You can make both pizzas now, or hold the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Lightly oil one or two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. Add the dough and press down on it to spread it toward the edges. You won't be able to get it all the way to the edges, so spread it as much as you can without tearing. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• For the sauce: Put the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and some salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
• For the topping: Spread the sauce all the way to the corners of the dough. Top the sauce with the mozzarella and sprinkle with black pepper and chile flakes if using. Bake until the dough is crisp and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with the basil and some Parmesan and serve.

MICHAEL AND MIA'S M&M PIZZA

Steps:

• Add yeast to the water and stir until dissolved.
• Add sugar, oil and flour. Set mixing bowl filled with dough in warm water for 5 minutes to rise.
• Pat dough out on a well-greased pizza pan or cookie sheet.
• Add cheese and put in oven at 400 degrees for about fifteen or twenty minutes.
• As pizza is cooling, sprinkle M&M's on top. May not be the most delicious thing in the world, but it's sure authentic!

TINY PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut rounds from pizza dough using a 2-inch round cutter to make tiny individual crusts. Place pizza rounds on a baking sheet, top with sauce, and cover with mozzarella. Sprinkle a light dusting of grated Pecorino or Parmigiano on top. Bake until cheese is perfectly melted, approximately 10 minutes.
• Cut basil leaves into thin strips and sprinkle on top of pizzas with some more grated cheese before serving.
