MEXICAN CHICKEN PIZZA WITH CORNMEAL CRUST

Steps:

• Heat oil (or butter) in large skillet. Add onions and cook over medium low heat, stirring frequently until onions are golden brown and soft. Stir in 1/2 teaspoons sugar and cook 1-2 minutes more. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 450. In medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup of the flour, the sugar, yeast and salt. Stir in warm water and oil. Beat with electric mixer on low 30 seconds. Beat on high about 1 minute. Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal and remaining 3/4 cup flour to make a soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
• Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with additional cornmeal. Press dough into 14x10-inch rectangle on cookie sheet; prick with fork. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Spread the onions on crust, then sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with chicken, tomatoes and bell pepper. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown. Sprinkle with cilantro. Add green onion and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

CORNMEAL PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Fit the kneaded blade on a heavy-duty mixer.
• Proof the yeast in 1/2 cup water with 1 teaspoon sugar until foamy (about 8 minutes).
• In the stainless steel bowl place 5 cups flour, salt, sugar, oil and cornmeal.
• When the yeast is proofed, add to the bowl along with 1-1/2 cups warm water; start kneading adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth dough.
• After the kneading is finished, let the dough rest in the bowl for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and shape in a ball.
• Place into a well greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Punch down dough and let rest for 10 minutes before shaping (this is important, the dough must rest for 10 minutes).
• Roll out the dough into two 16-inch circles.
• Place into lightly greased pizza pans.
• Top as desired.
• Bake in a 400 degree oven until lightly golden brown (about 15-20 minutes).

PEPPERED BUFFALO RANCH SHRIMP PIZZA #RSC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. If available, place a ceramic pizza stone in the oven on the lowest rack. If no stone is available, place an un-greased baking sheet upside down on the rack.
• In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with three tablespoons buffalo style hot sauce and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled blue cheese and Hidden Valley Original Ranch seasoning mix. Add remaining 2 tablespoons buffalo style hot sauce and stir again to combine. Set aside.
• Sprinkle a pizza peel or the back of a large baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Roll out or stretch dough to a 12" round and place on prepared cornmeal covered pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread ranch dressing blue cheese mixture evenly over the dough, allowing about 1" uncovered for the crust on the edge. Sprinkle pizza with banana pepper rings and sprinkle on one cup mozzarella cheese.
• Place shrimp randomly over the cheese in a single layer and sprinkle with sliced shallots. Top shrimp and shallots with remaining mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese and slide pizza on to preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted, shrimp is cooked and crust is lightly browned as oven temperatures will vary.
• When cooked, carefully slide pizza off the stone and back on to the pizza peel (or inverted baking sheet). Allow pizza to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle pizza with shaved celery and carrots before slicing in to 8 slices. Serves 4 as an entrée or 8 as an appetizer. Enjoy!

CORNMEAL MINI-PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 deg. F.
• In a food processor, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and sugar. With motor running, pour in the hot water.
• Turn motor off and add remaining ingredients. Process mixture until it forms a ball, and then process 15 seconds longer to knead.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead 10 times. To make two pizzas, cut into half; wrap one half well and freeze for up to one month.
• Divide remaining piece in half. Roll or press out each half into an 8" circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and lightly brush or spray with additional olive oil.
• Top with favorite toppings, season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
• Note1: white cornmeal works just as well. While the recipe calls for hot water, I usually use room temperature or even cool water - the action of the FP can heat up the dough quite a bit, so I would rather allow a little more time.
• Note2: toppings must be thinly sliced; meats and some veggies should be cooked - this pizza is in the oven only a short time. I've never used a pizza sauce with this - if you do and it works, let us know!
