Instant Pot Pizza Recipes

INSTANT POT PIZZA RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place a trivet in the inner pot of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
• Spray a 7-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface; roll or stretch it gently until it is approximately 7 1/2 inches by about 15 inches. Place the baking pan upside-down on one end of the dough and use a sharp knife to cut around it. You will have enough left for a second pizza; roll the leftover dough up and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Skip this step if you are using mini prebaked crusts.
• Fit the circle of dough in the pan and press a bit up the sides to form a crust.
• Spoon the pizza sauce over the dough.
• Top the pizza sauce with the shredded mozzarella cheese, then layer with pepperoni slices and some sliced ripe olives.
• Fold a 24-inch length of foil lengthwise into thirds. Place the folded foil on the countertop and place the pan in the center. Cover the pan tightly with another sheet of foil.
• Using the ends of the foil as handles, lower the pan into the Instant Pot.
• Secure the lid and turn the steam release knob to the sealing position. Choose the pressure cook or manual button (high pressure) and set the timer for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, follow the manufacturer's instructions for a quick release. Remove the pan and discard the foil.
• Use a flexible spatula to remove the pizza to a cutting board. Cut the pizza into four wedges or smaller appetizer-sized pieces and serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

INSTANT POT® PIZZA PASTA

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil, sausage, onion, and anchovies to the Instant Pot® once hot. Cook and stir, breaking up sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Mix in bell pepper, mushrooms, and olives; stir to combine. Cancel Saute function.
• Scatter pasta evenly on top of sausage mixture. Pour in red wine. Spread pasta sauce evenly on top of the pasta, but do not stir.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on top of the pasta. Stir to incorporate. Serve immediately.
