Meat Crust Pizza Recipes

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 350.
• Brown ground beef. Put beef in a large bowl & mix well with 2 cups of low-fat mozzarella cheese. Spread mixture out like a pizza crust on a cookie sheet or a baking stone.
• Put 1 cup pizza sauce on the mixture. Ragu is ok.(pizza sauce, no sugar in it.) Top with 1-2 cups of low-fat shredded mozzarella. Top with canadian bacon and or low fat pepperoni slices. I usually just use the canadian bacon. Optional toppings: onions, peppers, anything legal that you like on pizza. Cook 15 minute or so (when top cheese starts to brown it is done). Put foil on rack below to catch any drippings.

Steps:

• Prepare pizza dough according to package directions. With floured hands, press dough onto a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Bake at 425° for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine oil and 1 teaspoon garlic powder; brush over crust edges., In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef with onion powder and remaining garlic powder until no longer pink; drain., Spread spaghetti sauce over crust to within 1 in. of edges. Top with beef mixture, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, olives and cheese. , Bake at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, brown the ground beef; drain.
• Place meat in a mixing bowl and mix with 1 cup of mozzarella.
• Spread the mixture into a circle on a round pizza pan or baking stone (I prefer the stone); and top with 1/2 cup pizza sauce.
• Top with the rest of the mozzarella, optional toppings and seasonings.
• Bake for about 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
