Baked Pizza Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, oregano, parsley, and basil.
• Spread mixture in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate, or a shallow microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese on top of the cream cheese mixture. Spread the pizza sauce over all. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, then top with green pepper, pepperoni and olive slices. Cover, and microwave for 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Spread cream cheese on the bottom of the pie pan. Pour pizza sauce over the cream cheese, and spread it so that there is an even layer of sauce. Sprinkle with pepperoni, onion, and olives. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, ricotta cheese, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and soup mix until blended. Spread into a greased 9-in. pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese., Bake, uncovered, until bubbly, 35-40 minutes. Serve with baguette slices.

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower positions in the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• For the dip: Heat a 12-inch shallow braiser or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add the 2 tablespoons oil, followed by the ground turkey. Cook, breaking up into small pieces, until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Liberally season with salt and black pepper.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, chopped oregano and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute then reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the mascarpone and Parmesan, then stir until melted and mixed through, about 1 minute. Lastly, add the crushed tomatoes and more black pepper. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, if needed.
• Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat (so the bottom doesn't burn), stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. If it starts to splatter, cover with a lid half on and half off. Remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic knots: Melt the butter in the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Unroll 1 tube of pizza dough onto a work surface and press out to a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 9 equal strips with a pizza cutter or knife. Loop each strip under itself to form a knot, tucking the excess underneath, and place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second tube of dough and prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the knots with some of the garlic butter; reserve the rest for later. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets and swap their positions. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and preheat the broiler. Brush the knots with more garlic butter, then sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley.
• By this time, the sauce should be ready. Top with the mozzarella and lightly drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Broil until bubbly and the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and top with the burrata, parsley leaves and oregano leaves. Drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve the dip immediately with the garlic knots.
