Spicy Perogy Pizza Recipes

SPICY PEROGY PIZZA

Steps:

• (Note: If you will be using a pizza stone to cook your pizza, insert it before you preheat for your potatoes, then place your baking sheet on top of the pizza stone. This will prevent having to put your cold pizza stone into a hot oven later, which is not recommended).
• Preheat oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sliced potatoes and diced jalapeno in a large bowl. Drizzle with a bit of vegetable oil and add some salt and pepper. Toss to combine well. Arrange potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer, slightly overlapping if necessary. Bake in preheated for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and just starting to turn golden on the edges (do not over-cook, but do be sure potatoes are tender, as they won't cook much further on top of the pizza). Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes (or longer).
• Increase oven temperature to 500° F.
• Prepare the cactus sauce by stirring together the sour cream, Caesar salad dressing, Parmesan, green onion and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, form pizza dough into a 14-inch circle (fairly thin). Add cactus sauce and spread into a thin layer, leaving the edges free. Arrange potatoes slices (with jalapeno) into a layer on top of sour cream. Take about 1/4 of the diced green onion and diced bacon and scatter over the potatoes. Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in 500° oven until golden and bubbly, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining diced bacon and green onion. Serve with a dollop of sour cream in the middle.

PIEROGI PIZZA

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Combine flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil over flour. Mix and knead until a sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add potatoes and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk sour cream and garlic powder together in a small bowl to make pizza "sauce".
• Gently pat and stretch pizza dough out to a 12-inch circle on a pizza stone. Spread sauce evenly over dough. Layer potatoes on top to cover dough completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits on top.
• Bake pizza in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

SPICY PEROGY PIZZA

Steps:

• Thinly slice potatoes and place, over lapping, on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, dried red chilies and paprika. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350°F.
• Spread a very thin layer of tomato sauce on crust and sprinkle with mozzarella (not as much sauce or cheese as on a regular pizza or it will overpower the potatoes) Carefully spread sour cream on top of sauce/cheese.
• Place baked potato slices on top and sprinkle with broken up bacon and then onions.
• Bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Take pizza out and sprinkle cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
• Turn oven off and put pizza back in for about 5 minutes to melt the cheddar.
