Homemade Pizza W Garlic Sauce Recipes

GARLIC PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, place the olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly so the garlic doesn't brown. Add the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and stir.
• Sprinkle in the flour and whisk quickly until it is a thick paste. Let cook and bubble for another 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in the half and half 1/2 c. at a time, whisking constantly. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir, then turn the heat to low and let simmer 5-10 minutes to thicken. Serve warm or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days until ready to use.

BASIC PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Empty the contents of the tomato can in a mixing bowl and coarsely crush the tomatoes with a fork or your hands, leaving them just a little chunky. In a heavy bottom 2-quart saucepot, add the olive oil, over a medium high flame and heat a little. Add the onions and saute until slightly translucent. Add the garlic and saute about a minute until golden. Quickly add the crushed tomatoes to the mix. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the fresh basil and oregano. You can add a touch of sugar if desired or if tomatoes are tart. Simmer on a low flame, stirring often for at least 15 minutes. If not using right away, cool down and store in airtight container in the refrigerator, up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE PIZZA W/ GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425.
• Using your favorite dough preparation method (hand, mixer, machine), mix the dough and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let stand for 10-15 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, prep your toppings and mix the garlic sauce. You can use whatever flavor alfredo you prefer, but garlic alfredo gives it that extra little bit of sauce-y goodness.
• Lightly grease a pizza pan or cookie sheet and spread your dough around by pressing out with your fingers. Or, you could do the fancy flippy flying thing. But I've got low ceilings, so I just press it out -- The pizza can be made into any shape you want. I like to fill the whole cookie sheet, creating a thin crust. My wife prefers crafting a med-thin crusted circle.
• Spread your prepared garlic sauce on the crust, top with cheese, followed by toppings of your choice (I've been going with ham, black olives, and mushrooms while my wife favors a veggie blend of red onions, olives, mushrooms and bell peppers). Sprinkle a little more cheese over the toppings then straight to the oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is just starting to brown. If you prefer a less crispy crust, lower the temperature to 400 but keep the cooking time the same.
• Note: If you want your sauce to be extra garlicky, mix it the night before and let it sit in a sealed container in the fridge overnight.

PIZZA WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• At least 45 minutes before baking pizza, put a pizza stone or 4 to 6 unglazed "quarry" tiles arranged close together on oven rack in lowest position in oven and preheat oven to highest setting (500°-550°F).
• Finely chop garlic and in a small bowl combine with oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and coarse salt.
• On a lightly floured surface pat out dough evenly with your fingers, keeping hands flat and lifting and turning dough over several times, into a 9-inch round. (Do not handle dough more than necessary. If dough is sticky, dust it lightly with flour.)
• Dust a baker's peel or rimless baking sheet with flour and carefully transfer dough to it. Jerk peel or baking sheet once or twice and, if dough is sticking, lift dough and sprinkle flour underneath it, reshaping dough if necessary. Working quickly, top dough with oil mixture, spreading with back of a spoon to within 1/2 inch of edge.
• Line up far edge of peel or baking sheet with far edge of stone or tiles and tilt peel or baking sheet, jerking it gently to start pizza moving. Once edge of pizza touches stone or tiles, carefully pull back peel or baking sheet, completely transferring pizza to stone or tiles (do not move pizza). Bake pizza 6 to 7 minutes, or until dough is crisp and browned, and transfer with a metal spatula to a cutting board.
• Cut pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
