Cheese Pizzettes Recipes

BEET, APPLE, AND CHEESE PIZZETTES

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill with a cover. (The pizzettes can also be baked in the oven. Place an oven rack in the upper 1/3 of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Bake the pizzettes on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet until the crust is golden, 12 to 14 minutes.)
• Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal. Set aside. Using a mandoline slicer, slice the apples and beets into 1/16 to 1/8-inch thick slices. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 13-inch diameter circle. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 6 circles of dough and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Divide the fontina and sprinkle on top of each circle of dough. Divide the apple and beet slices and place on top. Add the goat cheese and sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Drizzle with olive oil and place on the grill over low, indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese begins to melt, 8 to 10 minutes.

BROCCOLI & GOAT'S CHEESE PIZZETTES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Put a baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
• Bring a medium pan of water to the boil, add the broccoli and boil for 1 min. Drain and pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Lightly dust your work surface with a little flour. Split the dough in half and roll into two oval shapes. Mix the mascarpone and lemon zest together in a bowl. Remove the hot tray from the oven and use a palette knife to transfer the bases onto the baking tray. Spread with the mascarpone and top with the broccoli and courgette, then season with black pepper. Put back in the oven to bake for 10-12 mins or until crisp and golden around the edges.
• Scatter with the crumbled goat's cheese and red chilli, and drizzle over a little olive oil to finish.

GRILLED-TOMATO PIZZETTES WITH BASIL AND FONTINA CHEESE

Steps:

• After preparing grilled tomatoes, reduce grill to low. Divide pizza dough into four pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, shape dough into rough 12-inch-long ovals. Alternate between rolling the dough with a pin and stretching it with your hands. If it tears, pinch dough together to patch.
• Place dough on grill. Cook until lightly charred on one side, 3 to 4 minutes; press lightly with a spatula to deflate any air bubbles.
• Flip dough; layer with cheese and grilled tomatoes, dividing evenly. Cover grill; cook until cheese melts and bottoms of crusts are charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Garnish with basil.

THREE-CHEESE CORNMEAL PIZZETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal.
• In a food processor combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and sugar and with motor running add water. Turn motor off and add remaining dough ingredients. Process mixture until it forms a ball and process 15 seconds more to knead it.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 times. Reserves half of dough for making 2 more pizzette another time, wrapping it in a sealable plastic bag, pressing out excess air, and chilling or freezing. Reserved dough keeps, chilled, 1 day or, frozen, 1 month.
• Halve remaining dough and on lightly floured surface roll out each half into an 8-inch round. Transfer rounds to baking sheet and brush lightly with oil. Top rounds evenly with remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake pizzette in lower third of oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until crusts are golden and cheese is golden and bubbling.
