Leaning Tower Of Pizza Bites Recipe By Tasty

LEANING TOWER OF PIZZA BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F ( 220°C) and line 4 baking sheets, or as many as you have, with parchment paper.
• Assemble the tower: Secure the 3 longer dowels together using rubber bands. Trim 2 inches (5 CM) off the bottom at a 30° angle. The tower should be approximately 22 inches (55 CM) tall. Attach the 4-inch dowel to the top of the tower using a wooden skewer.
• Wrap the entire tower in aluminum foil, securing with cellophane tape, ensuring there is no styrofoam showing. Attach the tower to the cardboard using a hot glue gun. Attach the cardboard base to a large serving platter with masking tape.
• Make the pepperoni filling: In a medium bowl, mix together 1½ cups shredded mozzarella, 1 cup (260 g) marinara sauce, and the chopped pepperoni.
• Make the garlic butter: In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, parsley, and grated Parmesan.
• Take a halved roll and flatten with your hand to about 2 inches (5 CM) in diameter. Fill with ½ teaspoon of the pepperoni filling. Pinch the edges of the dough together around the filling to form a ball and roll to seal. Repeat until half of the rolls are filled with the pepperoni filling and arrange on 2 of the prepared baking sheets. Brush with the garlic butter.
• Bake the pepperoni bites for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• While the pepperoni bites bake, make the buffalo chicken bites: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the remaining 1½ cups (150 G) shredded mozzarella, 1 cup (260 G) marinara, the shredded chicken, and buffalo sauce.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks and water.
• Flatten and fill the remaining halved rolls with the buffalo chicken filling and arrange on the 2 remaining prepared baking sheets. Brush with the egg wash.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and slightly darker than the pepperoni bites. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Use toothpicks to attach the cooled bites to the tower, starting at the base and placing close together so no foil shows through. Alternate between rows of pepperoni and buffalo chicken bites. Continue until you've reached the top and all of the bites have been used.
• Use toothpicks to attach the mini mozzarella balls to the tower, creating a ring around the tower every few rows of pizza bites.
• Add the remaining 2 cups (520 G) marinara sauce to a small pot and warm over medium-low heat, about 2 minutes. Pour into the base of the platter.
• Arrange the basil leaves at the base of the tower to resemble the lawn of the Tower of Pisa.
• Add a strip of basil and a strip of pepperoni to the slice of mozzarella to resemble the Italian flag. Secure to the top of the tower with a toothpick.
• Serve while the marinara sauce is warm.
• Enjoy!

ICE CUBE TRAY PIZZA BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• If using fresh dough, let sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes in a covered and lightly oiled bowl.
• On a floured surface, take one half of the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about ⅛ of an inch (3 mm) thick. Repeat with other half of dough and set aside.
• Lightly oil your ice cube tray if it's hard plastic.
• Transfer the dough to cover the tray and press the dough down into every hole, holding for about 5 seconds to ensure the dough stretches properly. If it tears, you can use excess dough to patch up any holes.
• Assemble each bite with approximately one teaspoon of sauce, such as marinara or pesto, one teaspoon of cheese, and desired toppings.
• Cover the prepared bites with remaining dough and roll over the ice cube tray with rolling pin to seal.
• Trim any excess dough and save for more pizza bites.
• Freeze the ice cube tray for about an hour, until the dough has set.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
• Flip the tray onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to release the bites. If necessary, use a paring knife to gently loosen.
• Cut and separate the bites.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and serve warm.
• Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST HOMEMADE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• "Bloom" the yeast by sprinkling the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and bloomed yeast mixture. Using a spoon, mix until a shaggy dough begins to form.
• Once the flour is mostly hydrated, turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead for 10-15 minutes. The dough should be soft, smooth, and bouncy. Form the dough into a taut round.
• Grease a clean, large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours.
• Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for another minute or so, then cut into 4 equal portions and shape into rounds.
• Lightly flour the dough, then cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for another 30 minutes to an hour while you prepare the sauce and any other ingredients.
• Preheat the oven as high as your oven will allow, between 450-500˚F (230-260˚C). Place a pizza stone, heavy baking sheet (turn upside down so the surface is flat), or cast iron skillet in the oven.
• Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Add the salt to the can of tomatoes and puree with an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
• Once the dough has rested, take a portion and start by poking the surface with your fingertips, until bubbles form and do not deflate.
• Then, stretch and press the dough into a thin round. Make it thinner than you think it should be, as it will slightly shrink and puff up during baking.
• Sprinkle semolina onto an upside down baking sheet and place the stretched crust onto it. Add the sauce and ingredients of your choice.
• Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust and cheese are golden brown.
• Add any garnish of your preference.
