Pizza Recipes

1 teaspoon Virgin olive oil

2 cups Whole milk mozzarella cheese, grated (loosely packed)

1/2 cup Buffalo mozzarella, cubed into 1/2" pieces (about 4 oz.)

1 Red bell pepper, roasted, peeled and sliced into 1/4" strips

12 Kalamata olives

2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese

2 ounces Gingrass Family Smoked Pepperoni, sliced very thinly (1/8" or less)

2 tablespoons Chopped Italian parsley

Pizza Dough

4 cups All purpose flour

1 1/2 cup Warm water (about 90 F.)

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Fresh yeast

1 1/2 teaspoon Honey

1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 500 F. and place a baking stone or tile in to heat.

Roll the doughs into roughly 10 " rounds using a pie pin or by pounding and stretching the

dough.

Sprinkle a light cutting board or pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina and lay the doughs down

on it. Brush the olive oil over the center of the dough then spread the mozzarella cheese evenly

over the dough, leaving a half inch rim without cheese.

Arrange the cubed buffalo mozzarella, the olives and the roasted peppers over the cheese. Finally,

slide the pizzas into the oven.

Bake for five minutes then remove from the oven and arrange the sliced pepperoni over the

cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan over. Return to the over and continue to bake for five more

minutes or until the edge of the crust becomes golden brown and the cheese bubbles in the center.

Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board. Sprinkle the chopped Italian parsley over

and cut into six or eight pieces. Serve immediately.

Pizza Dough makes doughs for six pizzas

Combine the salt, flour and honey in an electric mixer and mix using the dough hook to distribute

evenly.

Add the water and yeast and mix for two minutes on low speed to bring the dough together.

Increase the speed to medium and mix for six minutes, pushing the dough back into the mixing

bowl if it creeps up the side.

Add the olive oil and mix until the dough has absorbed to oil and comes back together.

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand to stiffen.

Form into a ball and allow to rest for 30 minutes under a damp cloth.

Scale into 4-1/2 oz. pieces then form into tight balls by rolling under your hand.
