Sunnys Easy Black And White Dessert Pizza Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY ENGLISH MUFFIN SPINACH ALFREDO PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the Alfredo sauce in a pot over medium-low heat and let it come to a simmer. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted; turn off the heat.
• On each toasted muffin half, spread 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, a portion of the chicken and some mozzarella. Bake on a baking sheet until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

SUNNY'S EASY BACON 'N' EGG BREAKFAST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F or prepare the grill for indirect cooking at 450 degrees F. If using a pizza stone, position it on the center rack in the oven.
• Flatten and form the pizza dough into a circle and place in an ovenproof nonstick pan. Bake or cook on the grill or put the dough directly on the grill grates over indirect heat. Cook until the dough becomes rigid and slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Break up the bacon into small bite-size pieces into a small bowl. Mix in the marinara sauce, sambal and maple syrup.
• Add the sauce to the partially baked pizza round, then add the cheese, making a bit of a well in the center. Crack and add the eggs to the well. Place back on the grill over the indirect heat or in the oven and cook until the eggs are set, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the grill or oven and season the yolks with fresh black pepper and a pinch of salt. Remove the pizza from the pan, slice into four pieces and serve warm.

BLACK FOREST CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Special Equipment: 12 capacity cupcake tin, paper liners
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the cupcake tray with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, butter and vanilla, set aside.
• Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment and beat until the mixture is thick and forms ribbons, about 5 minutes. With mixer on medium speed, slowly add the buttermilk mixture, until just incorporated. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips and cherries. Fill the cupcake tins 3/4 full with the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the tin and cool for 10 minutes. Put a good-sized dollop of marshmallow cream on each cupcake, sprinkle with chocolate shavings and top with a cherry. Serve immediately.

SUNNY'S EASY BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a pot over medium heat add the olive oil, onions, jalapenos and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent and tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme, and oregano, then stir well and cook until fragrant. Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and vinegar. Raise the heat to medium- high and simmer, while rapidly stirring, until everything is blended and smooth. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the chopped chicken. Stir to coat all the chicken, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, roll out the dough according to package directions and fit it onto a rectangular nonstick baking sheet. Put the crust in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven and leaving a 1-inch border pour the BBQ chicken and sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella, in that order. Put the topped pizza in the oven and bake until the mozzarella cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown, anywhere from 6 to 11 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven to a cutting board and allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

SUNNY'S MARGARITA PITA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the mini pitas on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add about a tablespoon of sauce and a mini mozzarella ball to each pita. Drizzle some olive oil on top of each. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with fresh basil.

BLACK FOREST DESSERT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine 1/4 cup sugar and the cherries in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until thick and syrupy, 15 to 18 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and almond extract.
• Stretch and pat the dough into a 10- to 11-inch round and put on a baking sheet. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the remaining sugar. Bake until golden brown all over, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Spread the cherry compote on the pizza crust and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Return to the oven to lightly melt the chocolate, about 1 minute. Whip the cream with the remaining tablespoon sugar until the cream is thick but does not hold a peak. Drizzle the sweetened cream over the pizza and sprinkle with grated chocolate if using. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

EASY WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Special equipment: 14-inch round pizza pan
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Adjust the oven rack to the lower third of the oven.
• Brush the pizza pan with oil. On a work surface, using your hands, press the pizza dough into a large flat disk and transfer it to the greased pan. Using your fingers, press the dough out until it has stretched to the perimeter of the pan. Create a dough "lip" around the outer edges of the pan. Brush the entire surface of the dough lightly with garlic oil and pierce the bottom of the crust all over with a fork, to prevent bubbling.
• Evenly spread the mozzarella over the crust. Using 2 spoons, dollop teaspoon-sized mounds of ricotta evenly over the mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and evenly sprinkle the chopped oregano over the top.
• Bake in the lower third of the oven until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly and browning on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before garnishing with additional oregano and slicing into 8 pieces.
• Cook's Note: Try buying fresh pizza dough from your local pizzeria; just be sure to let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes, as warmer dough is easier to work with.

WHITE PIZZA WITH PROSCIUTTO AND FIG

Steps:

• Position an oven rack on the second highest position, put a pizza stone on it and preheat the oven for 1 hour to as high as your oven goes, usually 500 to 550 degrees F.
• Divide the pizza dough into 2 pieces. On a floured surface, gently roll out each piece of dough into a 10- to 12-inch circle. Transfer one piece of dough to a floured pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the Alfredo sauce on the pizza, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Top with half the mozzarella. Transfer to the pizza stone and bake until golden and bubbly, rotating halfway through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with half the prosciutto slices. Next, scatter with half of the figs. Bake for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and pizza toppings.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the balsamic, olive oil and crushed red pepper with some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss with the arugula.
• Top the warm pizzas with the dressed arugula, slice and serve immediately.

SUNNY'S PIEROGI PIZZA

Steps:

• In a slow cooker on low, add the onions, 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every hour or so, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 hours. Cook uncovered for the last hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll the dough out to fit an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet or a large round pizza pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and pierce the dough with a fork all over to minimize bubbles. Bake the dough, checking every few minutes to ensure it doesn't burn, until lightly golden in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
• In a medium bowl combine the Monterey Jack and Parmesan. Add half of the cheese mixture to the mashed potatoes.
• Top the dough in an even layer with the mashed potato mixture. Add the caramelized onions, bacon, chile flakes and the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with a drizzle of the yogurt and sprinkle with the chives.
