Quick Pizza

This pizza really is quick if you’ve got a batch of dough in the fridge.  When I made this during the cooking class, I used the 100% Whole Wheat with Olive Oil recipe, but the Master Recipe works great, too.

I used a grapefruit-sized ball of dough, and floured it so it wouldn’t stick to my hands.  I floured my pizza peel well, then rolled the dough onto it.  It’s a flexible dough and it stretches pretty easily, even when cold.  I drizzled olive oil on the dough, then sprinkled with chopped tomatoes, diced onion, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, mozzarella, and feta.
Bake for 8-10 minutes in a pre-heated oven, 450-500 degrees.  I used a pizza stone to get a crispy, chewy crust.  The picture above is not the pizza we made in class—that one was gone before I remembered to take a picture.  I borrowed this picture from here.  Look at the roasted butternut squash on top—that’s one of my very favorite vegetables.  I’ll be making this version soon!

Pesto Pizza



We love pesto sauce on pizza! For last night's cooking class we sliced a baguette loaf into 1/2 inch slices and spread with pesto. We topped our little appetizers with red onion, sauteed mushrooms, chopped tomato, and mozzeralla and baked them at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes until hot and bubbly.
