VEGETARIAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the cheese into large chunks that will fit in the shredder attachment of a food processor. Shred the cheese in the processor. Sprinkle cornmeal on a clean surface and roll out the dough until it is approximately 1/2-inch thick (should be about an 18-inch circle). Transfer dough to a pizza stone or rimless pan large enough to hold it.
• Spread the sauce over the surface of the crust, leaving approximately 1/2-inch of crust around the edge. Sprinkle the cut vegetables on top of the sauce and then sprinkle the cheese over the veggies.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve hot.
• Sift the flours together in a medium sized bowl. Place the yeast in a separate bowl and pour the warm water over it; let stand for about 5 minutes. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mixing for approximately 5 minutes. Set the dough aside to rise for approximately 2 hours.
• Once the dough has risen, roll out the dough to a circle that is approximately 1/2-inch thick and about 18 inches in diameter.

GOURMET CRUISERS' VEGETARIAN PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare pizza dough according to directions (if using a recipe) and cook for 10 minutes at 400 degrees (if desired, and omit this step entirely if using pre-cooked dough).
• Mix tomato paste with 1/4 cup water and add a bit more, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Add garlic and mix well.
• Spread tomato sauce evenly over dough, leaving a half inch or so for crust.
• Sprinkle toppings over pizza, more or less in order given. (If you prefer to end with the cheese, that's okay too.).
• Sprinkle with seasonings.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
• Slice and eat.

VEGETARIAN PIZZA

Steps:

• I use a food processor to make the dough. Place the flour and salt in first then give it a whizz, add the dried yeast and sugar, mix while adding the olive oil first then the warm water. Continue mixing until a soft dough is formed. If you use a food processor you don't need to knead by hand. But if you do it by hand pop the ingredients into a large bowl and mix, then turn out and knead for about 10 mins.
• Place dough in an oiled polythene food bag allowing space for the dough to double in size. Place in a warm place and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
• Once risen remove from bag place on floured surface and knock back. Then roll out to your required thickness. The dough is enough to make one 12inch round pizza. You can either flour the tin or use baking parchment to line.Place the rolled out dough onto the tin and prick with a fork to stop it rising too much.
• Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and spread on top of the dough. Sprinkle with grated cheese and add your chosen topping then finally sprinkle the basil and oregano on top.
• Place in a preheated oven on gas mark 6 to7. Cook for about 20 mins or until golden and crisp around the edges.
• Remove from tin, slice and serve.

THE BEST PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, sugar, dry milk, butter or margarine, yeast, and warm water. Gather into a ball. Turn out an a lightly floured surface, and knead until the dough is smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp cloth, and place in a warm spot for 2 hours.
• Punch down the dough. Roll out to fit a 14 inch pizza pan. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
• Bake at 375 degrees F ( 190 degrees C) until crust is a very light brown color. Remove from oven.
• Place desired toppings on the pizza. Bake for 20 minutes, or until toppings are done.
