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.

HOT MUSHROOM AND PEPPERONI PIZZA DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
• Heat a non stick fry pan over high heat.
• Add the diced pepperoni and fry for 1 minute until it starts to brown.
• Then add the onions and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms and cook for 30 seconds.
• Remove onion mixture from the fry pan and place onto a plate with a paper towel (to drain the excess fat).
• Combine the Base ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
• Spread the Base in a 20 cm / 8 inch base with a 24 cm / 9 inch rim pie dish.
• Spread the pizza sauce over the Base, then sprinkle with the onion mixture.
• Sprinkle over the tasty cheese, then the mozzarella cheese.
• Place sliced pepperoni over the cheese.
• Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling. Check it at 15 minutes.
• Serve immediately with Garlic Toast.

EXOTIC MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• Put pizza stone in oven and heat to 425 degrees. While stone is heating, brush olive oil evenly over shell and bake 5 to 7 minutes or until oil bubbles. (If using thin crust pizza, you can eliminate pre-baking of the pizza crust.)
• While shell bakes begin cooking the mushrooms. Heat saute or fry pan on high heat, add the oil, garlic and shallots and quickly saute for approximately 30 seconds. Do not allow the garlic/shallot mixture to burn.
• Add mushrooms to hot pan, saute quickly until most of the mushroom juices have evaporated (3 to 5 minutes), then add wine. Continue to saute until wine completely evaporates and mushrooms have turned a darker shade or brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove mushroom mixture from heat.
• Remove shell from oven (leave stone in oven to keep it hot) and allow to cool slightly. Spread the gorgonzola cheese evenly over the warm crust so that it melts slightly. You can dip your fingers in olive oil to spread the gorgonzola. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the crust. Add the Fontina cheese, distributing it as evenly as possible. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place on hot stone in oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly. Cool and cut into small rectangles for hors d'oeuvres or into pie-shaped pieces for first course or main course portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• This recipe can be adjusted to suit personal taste such as adding dried, red hot pepper or use different cheeses; however you should not eliminate the gorgonzola. It can be served with champagne as an hors d'oeuvre and with dry red wine as an appetizer or main course with a tossed salad.

MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pizza dough:
• Mix the dried yeast & warm water in a cup, leave for 15 minutes until frothy.
• Prepare a bowl with the flour. Form a well in the center and add the yeast mixture. Mix, then add the 200ml water with the salt. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Form two balls, leave dough to rise in a container that has been brushed with olive oil. Leave dough to rise for at least 4 hours or leave overnight.
• Preheat oven to 220C. Knead the dough again for 5 mins, roll out thinly on a baking tray. Rub over lightly the garlic, then add the mozzarella, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Be generous with the mushrooms as they tend to shrink in the oven.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. During baking time, mix arugula and basil with olive oil in a bowl.
• Once pizza is ready and out of the oven, top on some of the arugula mix.

HOMEMADE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.

CHRISTINA'S STUFFED-CRUST PEPPERONI AND MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F
• To make the crust: Stir the water, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the yeast together in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, add the butter, and stir until melted.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, remaining sugar, egg, milk mixture, yeast mixture, and salt until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding flour as needed if dough is sticky, about 10 minutes. Clean the bowl and coat it generously with olive oil. Form the dough into a ball, put it in the bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch the dough down and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Cut the mozzarella into sticks about 3 by 3/4 by 3/4-inches. Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal. Place the dough on the baking sheet and stretch it into a 15-inch circle.
• Arrange the mozzarella sticks around the dough about 1-inch in from the edge, then roll the dough over the cheese to form the stuffed rim.
• To make the topping: Stir the sugar into the marinara sauce and spread onto the pizza dough. Scatter with the stewed tomatoes, then the mozzarella. Add the onions, mushrooms, and pepperoni. Sprinkle with basil and oregano.
• Bake until crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

WILD MUSHROOM PIZZA WITH ARUGULA & PECORINO

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or large rimless baking sheet on the bottom rack and preheat oven to the highest temperature, preferably 500 degrees F, for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll dough on a floured surface into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to a floured pizza peel (or rimless baking sheet). Scatter garlic over the dough then sprinkle with mozzarella and half of the mushrooms (reserve the remaining mushrooms for Step 5). Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pizza.
• Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 4 pieces.
• Toss arugula with agrumato lemon oil and salt. Top the pizza with the arugula, the reserved mushrooms and cheese. Serve immediately.

PEPPERS, ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean and cut all vegetables (remove stems from mushrooms) except garlic, into strips about 1/2-inch size. (this may seem like alot, but it cooks down).
• Using large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add only onions first. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Lower heat to simmer and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until starting to get golden color.
• Raise heat to medium-high, add peppers and salt, Stir well into onions. Continue to cook until peppers JUST START to get soft.
• Add mushrooms, combining well.
• Add black pepper, garlic, and pepper flakes.
• Stir well. Lower heat to simmer. DO NOT COVER as this will poach vegetables.
• Continue to simmer until mushrooms give off their juices but are still firm. It is important NOT to overcook as they will cook again when reheated to be used.
• Remove skillet from heat. Stir.
• Allow to cool. Peppers and mushrooms should still have body to them.
• I like to bag portions in plastic sandwich bags, spread out so they are flat in bag. This makes for easy storage once they are frozen. I then place several bags into a freezer storage bag.
• I have kept this mix frozen for over a year without change in flavor.
