Cheesy Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza Food

CHEESY PEPPERONI PARMESAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Mix 4 cups flour, 1 cup Parmesan, yeast and salt in large bowl. Add water and oil; stir until mixture forms soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, gradually adding remaining flour.
• Cut dough into 4 pieces. (Each piece is enough for a 12-inch pizza.) Spray 1 dough piece with cooking spray; cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand 15 minutes. See tip for how to store remaining dough for another use.
• TO MAKE ONE PIZZA: Heat oven to 400°F. Roll 1 dough piece (after standing 15 minutes) into 12-inch round on lightly floured surface; place on pizza pan. Bake 6 minutes. Top with tomato sauce, drained tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoni and 1 tablespoon Parmesan.
• Bake 15 minutes or until mozzarella is melted and edge of crust is golden brown. Cut pizza into 6 slices.

CHEESY PEPPERONI-MUSHROOM FLATBREAD (WW)

Steps:

• Adjust the oven racks to divide the oven in thirds and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a 10.5 x 15.5 inch jelly-roll pan with nonstick spray.
• Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid evaporates, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook 1 minute. Set aside.
• With floured hands, press the dough over the bottom of the prepared pan. If the dough shrinks back, let is rest a few minutes before pressing again. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese. Top evenly with the onion mixture and the pepperoni.
• Bake on the lowest oven rack until the crust is browned on the bottom, 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, 4-5 minutes longer. Cut into 24 squares and serve at once.

KATE L'S TIPSY MUSHROOM PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• If making own pizza crust and/or pizza sauce, prepare them first.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, or follow directions for pizza cooker.
• Spread pizza sauce over browned side of Boboli crust.
• Sprinkle fennel seeds over pizza. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pizza, followed by special gourmet-blend cheese.
• Lay out 12 slices of pepperoni around the outer edge of the pizza, then distribute the 6 remaining slices on an inner circle. Voila, you have marked your pizza for 6 slices!
• Prepare Tipsy Fat-Free Microwave -Sauteed Mushrooms (Recipe#323900), in which 2 cups of sliced mushrooms are cooked in 1/2 cup dry sherry for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes in the microwave, and then drained. (We love Portabello mushrooms on our pizza and the slight hint of sherry drives us wild. For a pantry-raid pizza, drained canned sliced mushrooms will do in a pinch, although it's not as good.).
• Distribute sauteed mushrooms over top of pizza. I try to be artistic.
• Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese starts to brown. (If using directions from Recipe#255466 #255466, I found that 10 minutes at 500 degrees was a bit too long.).
• Cut into 6 slices and serve hot.
