THE GUY PIE SPECIALTY PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Add 2 cups cold water to bowl of a stand mixer. Add oil, sugar, salt and yeast and mix with a wire whisk until blended evenly, 1 minute. Add flour, then blend with the dough hook until a dough ball is formed, about 15 minutes. (Knead dough by hand to form dough ball if needed.) Portion into smaller dough balls and lightly spray with cooking spray. Individually wrap dough balls tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours. Refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.
• For the sauce: Mix the unpeeled and peeled ground tomatoes together with the basil, oregano, marjoram, sugar and garlic in a large container. Refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours to allow flavors to release and blend.
• For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F.
• Coat a dough ball in flour and cornmeal and hand toss to an 18-inch diameter. Evenly distribute ten 1-ounce portions ricotta around dough. Evenly spread blue cheese crumbles around dough. Evenly spread shredded mozzarella over ricotta and blue cheese, leaving a 1-inch border empty for the crust. Top mozzarella with shredded chicken and shredded pepperoni. Slowly pour hot sauce over the whole pizza in a spiral to make sure that there is not too much sauce in one place. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Evenly pour blue cheese dressing and additional hot sauce over hot pizza. Cut into 8 even slices and enjoy.

SPECIALTY STROMBOLI

Steps:

• For the dough: Coat dough ball in flour/cornmeal mixture and hand-toss to 12 inches.
• For the fillings: Preheat the oven to 575 degrees F.
• Add 2 to 3 rows of pepperoni lengthwise, just above halfway to edge of dough. Evenly spread 5-cheese blend over pepperoni. Add spicy Italian sausage, green peppers, mushrooms and red onions evenly over top of cheese. Pull top quarter of empty dough over top of fillings and press down to connect the dough. Grab bottom half of empty dough and pull over fillings, then roll the remaining dough under to form an elongated pizza pocket.
• Bake until crust is golden brown and cheese is fully melted in middle, about 13 minutes. Remove from oven and top with garlic oil. Serve with side of marinara for dipping.

STROMBOLI

Steps:

• For the pizza dough: Add the yeast, 1 cup warm water and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let the mixture sit to allow the yeast to activate. The mixture should start foaming and forming small bubbles on the surface, 10 minutes. Gradually add the flour with the mixer on low speed. Add the olive oil and salt. Continue to mix on low and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Increase the speed as the flour becomes incorporated, and knead on medium speed, 7 to 8 minutes. The dough is done when it comes together as a single mass.
• Remove the dough from the mixer and knead 4 to 5 times on a lightly-floured surface so the dough is smooth and consistent. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic and allow to sit until the dough rises and doubles in volume, 1 hour.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Divide the dough in half and, working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle. Arrange the dough rectangle so the 13-inch-long side is closest to you. Brush the surface with half of the melted butter, then spread the minced garlic out evenly over the top, remembering to split the filling ingredient quantities evenly across both stromboli. Leave a 1-inch border around the far and side borders.
• Sprinkle the dough with the Parmesan, then layer with the salami slices. Top the salami with a layer of deli ham and then a layer of bresaola. Shingle the cheese slices over the top and finish with fresh basil and some ground black pepper. With the covered edge closest to you, roll the dough up into a log, gently sealing the ends of the roll as you go. When you get to the end that has no filling on it, gently press to seal, then place the roll seam-side down on a nonstick sheet tray. Repeat the process with second piece of dough. Brush the tops of the dough with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown and puffy, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Allow the stromboli to cool 5 minutes before slicing it into thick slices with a serrated knife. Serve with the Marinara Sauce on the side or some mustard.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is almost brown, another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer, 20 minutes.
• Add the basil and oregano, and continue to simmer to thoroughly marry the flavors, 20 minutes longer. Puree the mixture with a stick blender, food mill or food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: Makes 1 quart.
