Deep Dish Broccoli And Cheddar Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• For the pizza sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the onion, salt, red pepper flakes, and oregano, and sauté until golden brown.
• Add the garlic, sugar, and crushed tomatoes, and simmer for roughly 20 minutes or until sauce thickens.
• For the dough, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water together and let sit for one minute.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt.
• Add the yeast mixture and butter into the dry ingredients and stir until dough forms.
• Bring dough to floured surface and knead until dough forms into a ball.
• Move dough to large bowl drizzled with olive oil. Coat dough in oil and cover. Let rest for 1 hour.
• Remove dough and bring onto floured surface.
• Cut dough in half and begin working dough out, ensuring that it is at least 2 inches (5 cm) wider than your deep dish pan.
• Double wrap the remaining dough with plastic wrap and place in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to a month.
• Preheat your oven to 425°F (215°C).
• Bring your dough into your oiled and floured deep dish pan.
• Using your hands press dough into sides of your dish making it as even as possible.
• Lay slices of mozzarella across the dough, covering the entire bottom.
• Add pieces of uncased italian sausage on top of the mozzarella and top with tomato sauce.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crust starts to lightly brown and the cheese is melted.
• Garnish with parmesan, cut and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and run cold water over. Drain well again and squeeze out excess liquid.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil, chili flakes and garlic in a large saute pan over medium heat and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, salt and pepper and cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
• In a separate large saute pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the sausage links and using a wooden spoon, gently break up the meat into coarse pieces. Cook until deep golden brown. (You do not need to cook all the way because it will continue to cook in the oven.) Combine the sausage and the broccoli rabe and let cool slightly.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and oregano, bring to a boil and cook until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
• Dissolve the yeast and water in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the oils and mix for 30 seconds. Add the cornmeal, 3 cups of the flour and salt and beat for 5 minutes. Switch to the dough hook and mix in the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour and knead, using the dough hook for 2 minutes. Add the butter and knead until incorporated. The dough is a very moist dough so do not add more flour unless absolutely needed.
• Place the dough in a large bowl lightly oiled with vegetable oil, cover with plastic wrap or clean kitchen towels and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Punch down the dough and allow to double in size again.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 2 pizza stones into the oven to preheat as well. Generously oil 2 (9 or 10-inch) deep dish pie pans with olive oil (about 2 tablespoons for each pan).
• Divide the dough in half and press the dough out slightly on the counter top. Place the dough in the prepared pans and push out to cover the bottom and up the side of the pans. (If using the 9-inch pans, pinch a 2-inch ball off each dough to make a better fit.)
• Combine the cheese in a bowl. Place half of the cheese of the bottom of each pie crust. Divide the sausage filling over the cheese and then top with the remaining cheese, patting the cheese firmly down over the filling. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the cheese to cover completely. Place the pans into the oven on the pizza stones and bake in the oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the top with Parmesan. Let the pizza rest on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, sumac, cayenne and lemon zest.
• Add the garlic to the oil. Fry until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain. Add half of the broccoli to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining broccoli.
• Put the broccoli in a serving bowl and toss with the Parmesan mixture. Sprinkle with the fried garlic. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
