PIZZA RUSTICA

Steps:

• Position the rack on the bottom of the oven, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and saute until golden brown, breaking the sausage into pieces, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same frying pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts and the juices evaporate, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Squeeze the spinach to drain as much liquid as possible.
• Into a large bowl, add egg yolks and beat lightly. Stir in the ricotta, mozzarella, and 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese. Add the sausage, the spinach and prosciutto to the mixture and stir to combine.
• Roll out larger piece of dough on a lightly floured work surface to a 17-inch round. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch springform pan. Trim the dough overhang to 1 inch. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the dough-lined pan. Roll out the remaining piece of dough into a 12-inch round. Place the dough over the filling. Pinch the edges of the doughs together to seal, then crimp the dough edges decoratively. Brush the beaten 1 large egg over the entire pastry top. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan over the top. Bake on the bottom shelf until the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour.
• Let stand 15 minutes. Release the pan sides and transfer the pizza to a platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
• Blend the flour, the butter, the shortening and salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in the eggs. With the machine running, add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, with 1 piece twice as large as the second piece. Flatten the dough pieces into disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is firm enough to roll out, about 30 minutes.

PIZZA RUSTICA

Steps:

• Add the olive oil with 3 of the whole eggs to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add the flour, 2 teaspoons salt and the frozen grated butter to a large bowl and stir and pinch with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg mixture and blend with a wooden spoon until large crumbles form (they should be slightly larger than a pea). Add 1/4 cup cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition until a dough forms.
• Transfer the dough to a work surface lightly dusted with flour and knead until the dough is smooth. Form the dough into a large round disk and divide the dough into 2 pieces, two thirds for the bottom crust and one third for the top crust. Shape the dough pieces back into round disks. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 45 minutes. (The dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours at this point but will need to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before rolling.)
• Add 1 of the egg yolks to a small bowl along with 1 teaspoon water. Whisk to combine, then set the egg wash aside. Add the remaining 3 whole eggs and 3 egg yolks to a large bowl along with the Parmesan, ricotta and several heavy grinds black pepper. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Add the prosciutto, ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone and mozzarella and stir until combined. Set aside.
• Position a rack on the lowest shelf in the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with olive oil.
• Roll out the larger piece of dough on a flat work surface lightly dusted with flour to a 16-inch round a little less than 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared springform pan, pressing the dough into the inside edges and up the sides of the pan, leaving any overhang. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the dough-lined pan and spread it out into an even layer.
• Roll out the remaining piece of dough on a lightly dusted surface into a 13-inch round a little less than 1/8-inch thick. Place this dough over the filling, gently pressing into the filling and the dough at the edges of the pan. Trim the overhang of both doughs flush with the top of the pan. Pinch the edges of the doughs together to seal, then tuck under so they are directly on top of the filling and on the inside of the pan. Brush the reserved egg wash over the top and edges of the dough. Cut four 1-inch slits on the top piece of dough using a paring knife, then place the pan on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the crust is deep golden brown, and a long wooden skewer inserted into one of the slits comes out clean, about 2 hours, rotating the pan once halfway through the cooking time.
• Let stand for 2 hours at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator until completely cooled, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour before removing the outside ring of the springform pan and transferring the pizza to a serving platter. Cut into wedges to serve.

PERSONAL FLAT BREAD PIZZA, SAGE SAUSAGE, RED PEPPER JELLY #5FIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450*.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a 12" non-stick skillet over medium high heat, brown the sausage adding a small amount of water to help the meat release the juice and render the fat. Breaking the sausage up with the back of a spatula, brown the meat until just cooked through. About 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the skillet reserving the fat that remains in the pan.
• Sauté the package of potatoes, stirring occasionally until they turn brown and tender and if necessary, add 2 Tablespoons of water to allow potatoes to steam a bit. You can also keep slightly covered. When potatoes are still slightly firm (about 17 minutes) and golden brown add the sausage back to the skillet and mix thoroughly. Transfer entire mixture back to the bowl and set aside.
• Again, do not rinse skillet. Add 1 tortilla to the skillet and toast on each side about 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp. Remove from pan, put on a plate and toast remaining tortillas. Stack tortillas and cover with a tin foil or kitchen towel to keep warm and allow any steam to heat through.
• Put 4 tortillas on the parchment lined baking sheet and using the back of a large Tablespoon, spread enough pepper jelly on each tortilla, stopping about ¼" from the outside edge. Once 4 tortillas are coated with jelly, spoon the sausage/potato mixture on top. Add 5 small scoops of ricotta cheese to each pizza and place in 450* oven for 12 - 14 minutes until crisp and jelly begins to bubble.
• Once cooked through, remove, and add another small amount of ricotta cheese to each pizza. At this time you may serve 1 pizza per person while cooking the next set of 4 pizzas. To serve them all together, if you have a second baking sheet, these can be cooked together in the oven, rotating the sheets from the top to the bottom about ½ way through the cooking time, just like when baking cookies.
• Place pizzas on plate, using a pizza cutter, cut into triangles and serve.
• Tip: This is a great make-ahead snack for the kids. Sauté the meat and potato mixture and put into an air tight container in the refrigerator. Toast the tortillas as well and set aside lining each tortilla between a small sheet of wax paper.
• To assemble, add the jelly to the previously toasted tortilla, put the potato/sausage mixture on top and once again add the ricotta cheese. For children that are comfortable with the toaster oven, place on a small sheet pan and toast until warmed through being careful not to burn the edges. Allow to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
• Enjoy!
