Crustless Pizza Meatza Recipes

Steps:

• In an 11- or 12-inch skillet, preferably the nonstick kind, spread the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom. Turn heat to medium.
• As the cheese melts, sprinkle the seasonings on top and arrange the bits of meat and tomatoes according to personal preference.
• Fry the cheese until the edges become crisp and brown. Meanwhile, fill the kitchen sink with about 1 inch of cold water.
• When the cheese is done (edges slightly crisp, but the center not yet brown on top), remove the pan from the heat, and set it in the sink to cool the bottom quickly. After 30 to 45 seconds, take a fork and lift the cheese ''pie'' out of the skillet, transferring it to a cutting board. With a chef's knife or pizza cutter, cut it into small wedges and serve.

Steps:

• To make dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt. Add water and stir until blended (the dough will be very sticky). Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 12 to 24 hours in a warm spot, about 70 degrees.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top with flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Shape the dough into 3 or 4 balls, depending on how thick you want the crust. Generously sprinkle a clean cotton towel with flour and cover the dough with it. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
• To make sauce: Blanch tomato for 5 seconds in boiling water and quickly remove. Allow to cool to the touch. Peel the skin with your hands and quarter the tomato. Remove the jelly and seeds, and reserve in a strainer or fine sieve. Strain the jelly to remove seeds, and combine resulting liquid in a bowl with the flesh of the tomatoes. Proceed to crush the tomatoes with your hands. Add salt and olive oil and stir.
• To make pizza: Place pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat on high broil. Stretch or toss the dough into a disk approximately 10 inches in diameter. Pull rack out of oven and place the dough on top of the preheated pizza stone. Drizzle 5 generous tablespoons of sauce over the dough, and spread evenly. Try to keep the sauce about ½ inch away from the perimeter of the dough. Break apart or slice the buffalo mozzarella and arrange over the dough. Return rack and pizza stone to the middle of the oven and broil for approximately 6 minutes. Remove and top with basil, olive oil, and salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix together salt, caraway seeds, oregano, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
• Mix ground beef and eggs in a mixing bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Add Parmesan cheese and seasoning mixture to beef; combine. Press ground beef mixture into a 12x17-inch pan, spread out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over baked meat, followed by tomato sauce in an even layer. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce and top with slices of pepperoni. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over pizza.
• Broil until cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the flour, salt, to taste, and milk to make a smooth batter.
• Butter a round ovenproof pie dish, then stir half the grated cheese into the batter, before pouring it into the dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Take the dish out of the oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and add the chorizo or pepperoni, if using, - or anything else - now, too. Return the dish to the oven and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes to make sure it's heated through.
• Once the cheese on top is melted and looks burnished fold on the crustless pizza, take it out of the oven and serve, cut into slices. A green or tomato salad on the side would not be a bad idea...
• Leftover Note:
• Leftovers can be reheated the next day in a hot oven for 8 to10 minutes, but sadly they won't be as nice as the first time around.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl and with clean hands, combine the meat with the onion and garlic, and a teaspoon of oregano or italian seasoning (if using). Mix well.
• Pat the meat mixture out in a even layer in a 9x12 inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
• When the meat comes out, it will have shrunk a fair amount, because of the grease cooking off. Pour off the grease and spread the pizza sauce over the meat. Sprinkle the parmesan (if using) on the sauce, and then distribute the shredded mozzerella.
• Top with whatever you like ie: green peppers, mushrooms, onion, black olives etc.
• Drizzle the whole thing with a little olive oil (if using)
• Put your Meatza 4 inches below a broiler or griller set on high. Broil/Grill for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted and starting to brown.
