Sweet And Spicy Green Olive Pizza Recipes

SWEET AND SPICY GREEN OLIVE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F for at least 1 hour before baking. If using a pizza peel, allow the peel to heat up in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking on it.
• Stretch out your dough onto a pizza peel dusted with flour. If you don't have a peel, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the crust with the bagel seasoning, if using
• Spread a thin layer of the Colavita crushed tomatoes on top of the dough.
• Place the torn pieces of mozzarella cheese on top of the crushed tomatoes.
• Add slices of salami (about 6 per pizza) and dollops of the green olive paté.
• Drizzle with 1 tbsp Colavita olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and slices of jalapeno.
• Slide your pizza from the peel onto the stone in the oven (or place the baking sheet in oven) and bake for 8-10 minutes (individual ovens will vary, so keep an eye on your pie!), until the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and slide onto a cutting board.
• Drizzle with Maple UnTapped (about 1 tbsp per pizza), slice and serve. Note: 1/4 cup maple syrup = 2 Maple UnTapped packets

PIZZA WITH SWEET AND HOT PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare the pepper mixture: Place peppers, onion, jalapeño, garlic and oil in a mixing bowl. Season well with salt and toss to distribute seasoning, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 500 degrees and place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet on middle rack.
• Shape the dough: Pat 1 dough ball to a flat disc, lightly dust both sides with flour and stretch by hand to a 10-inch diameter. Alternatively, lightly dust dough with flour and roll out with a pin. Place dough circle on a parchment-lined rimless baking sheet (or use a rimmed baking sheet turned upside down, or a pizza peel).
• Sprinkle each pizza evenly with 2 ounces of grated cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top each with 4 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella. Arrange the pepper mixture over the cheeses and dot each pizza with 2 ounces of sausage meat in very small pieces. Sprinkle with a pinch of marjoram.
• To bake, quickly slip the pizza, still on the parchment, onto the baking stone. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until dough is well browned and pepper mixture is slightly charred in spots. Use a large spatula to remove pizza from oven, discard parchment and place on a large cutting board. Garnish with basil leaves and cut into slices.
