Rachael Ray Italian Pizza The Only Pizza Youll Ever Want To Eat Recipes

HOT SAUSAGE CAST-IRON SKILLET PAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 525 to 550 degrees F, as high as it goes, with rack at center. Preheat cast-iron skillet, 10 to 12 inches, over medium-high heat. Preheat a second smaller cast-iron or other skillet over medium-high heat for the sausage.
• Gather your ingredients.
• In a food processor, whizz up sauce: tomatoes, paste, garlic, oregano, sugar, salt and a few leaves of basil.
• Stretch dough into an even round that will cover large skillet.
• Drizzle a little EVOO in smaller skillet. Cut sausage from casing, add to pan and lightly brown and crumble. Turn pan off.
• Sprinkle a little cornmeal and flour in larger skillet and press dough into and up sides as much as possible. The pan is hot -- reminder. Brush the dough with EVOO and season with a little salt and pepper or red pepper flakes. Top the dough with the sauce and sausage, scatter the cheeses over the sausage and place in oven.
• To the sausage skillet, add a little water, honey and chili paste and stir to combine (reheat your pan if it's not warm enough to heat the honey).
• Bake the pizza 15 minutes to deep golden brown and bubbly. Drizzle or brush the pizza with the chili honey mixture and top with torn basil.
• To a mixer with dough hook attached, add warm water and yeast and let the yeast bloom and foam, 5 minutes.
• Add EVOO, honey and salt and turn on mixer. Add the flour gradually to form dough. Transfer to a bowl drizzled with a little EVOO and cover; let stand 1 hour.
• Cut dough in half; wrap half the dough and freeze for later use.
• Using a mandoline or very sharp knife, thinly slice the fennel and the red onion and place in a bowl. Add juice of orange and lemon and season with salt and pepper. Pit olives and coarsely chop; add to bowl. Add capers and arugula or kale. When ready to serve, add EVOO, 2 slow turns of the bowl, toss and serve.

10-MINUTE WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Put the pizza shell or focaccia onto a pizza pan or cookie sheet. Drizzle shell with oil and scatter minced garlic over shell to edges. Cover the pie with a layer of all 3 cheeses combined and work all the way to the edge of the shells. Top with artichoke hearts. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, until cheeses have melted and begin to bubble. Remove from oven and garnish with parsley. Cut pie with pizza wheel or knife into bite-size squares and serve.

THE ONLY PIZZA YOU'LL EVER WANT AGAIN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1½ cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, ¼ cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. You might not need all of the flour.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1½ hours.
• Pre-Heat Oven to 500°.
• On a 16-inch nonstick pizza pan or peel, stretch out your dough and form the pizza crust. Drizzle 4 teaspoons of the olive oil on the crust and spread it with a pastry brush over the dough to the edges. Sprinkle crust with grated Parmesan.
• Heat a small nonstick pan over medium-high to high heat. Add oil, cracked garlic, and chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Brown chicken breast until lightly golden all over, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Chop sautéed chicken and garlic into small pieces on a cutting board.
• To assemble pizza, dot crust with spoonfuls of ricotta and spread ricotta gently with the back of your spoon.
• Dot ricotta with chopped broccoli bits and cooked chopped chicken. Add sliced sun-dried tomatoes, scattering them around the pizza to the edges.
• Complete the assembly with a thin layer of shredded mozzarella.
• Place pizza in oven on middle rack and lower heat to 450°. Bake for 12 minutes, until cheese is deep golden in color and crust is brown and crisp at the edges.
• Remove pizza from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Top with lots of torn or shredded basil. Cut pizza into 8 slices using pizza cutter and serve.
