OVEN "FRIED" PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a cast iron skillet large enough to hold 1 of the pizza rounds, heat about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, turn heat off and add 1 of the pizza rounds. Use a spatula to press gently on the top of the round to keep it relatively flat as it cooks. When you see it is slightly brown on the underside, season the top lightly with salt and pepper and flip the round on its second side. Season it with salt and pepper and top with the onion sausage-onion mixture and place the skillet in the center of the oven until the pizza has finished cooking, 5 to 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and topping.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
• Using a sieve or strainer, "sift" about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend until smooth with your hands. Add the salt, pepper and honey and mix to blend. Sift in the remaining flour and mix to blend.
• Lightly flour a cutting board or flat surface. Turn the pizza dough onto the floured area and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. The flour should feel smooth and the ingredients fully integrated. Place the dough inside a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place, about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.
• Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, rolling each quarter into a loose ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes. Flatten each ball, 1at a time, and roll into a 6-inch round. Place each round in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• In a medium skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil and cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, until golden brown and crispy.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan onto a paper-towel lined plate. Drop the onions into the pan and cook over medium heat until caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the honey.
• Add the caramelized onions to the pizza fried pizza dough and top with mozzarella, sausage, basil, and a drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil.

OVEN-BAKED PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the pizza dough, measure 1/4 cup of the warm water into a 2-cup measuring cup. Sprinkle in the yeast and let stand until the yeast dissolves and foams, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup warm water and the olive oil.
• Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the yeast mixture and pulse to combine. If the dough does not readily form into a ball, add another tablespoon or two of warm water and pulse until a ball forms. Process until the dough is smooth and satiny, about 30 seconds longer.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead by hand with a few strokes to form a smooth, round ball. Put the dough into a large oiled bowl and cover the bowl with a clean dish towel. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F at least 30 minutes before baking the pizza. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and divide the dough in half. Form each piece into a ball and cover with a damp cloth. Working with one piece of dough at a time, shape the dough on top of the parchment-lined baking sheets into rectangles about 14 x 7 x 1/4 inch thick. Lightly prick the surface with a fork and brush each with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake the pizzas one at a time on the bottom rack of the oven until light golden brown, about 6 minutes. Divide the onions and cheese over the top of each pizza. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes.
• To serve, drizzle with the crème fraîche and some parsley-garlic oil. Top with the bacon, garlic chips, parsley leaves, and lemon zest.
• Parsley-Garlic Oil
• Heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the garlic with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Let the oil cool.
• Process the garlic oil and parsley in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
