Tricolor Boboli Pizzas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Finely grate the parmesan and thinly slice the mozzarella.
• Cut the pizza dough into 4 pieces. Sprinkle a work surface with the cornmeal and use a rolling pin and/or your hands to stretch each piece of dough into a rectangle about 5 by 11 inches; place 2 rectangles on each baking sheet.
• Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then distribute 4 tablespoon-size dollops of the ricotta onto each rectangle. Scatter with the mozzarella slices, then sprinkle evenly with the grated parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the dough is browned, about 12 minutes.
• While the pizzas are cooking, thinly slice the radicchio and endive and halve the tomatoes. Toss in a large bowl with the arugula, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Top each pizza with about 1 1/2 cups salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place crust on a slightly greased baking sheet or pizza pan.
• In a small bowl, combine the oil, pepper, and garlic.
• Brush generously over the crust.
• Scatter the tomato, oregano, and cheese onto the crust.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (105 F is a perfect temperature) with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 5-7 minutes, or until foamy.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients; mix well.
• Turn out on board and knead for 10 minutes.
• Place back in bowl, covered with a damp towel, and let rise for 34-40 minutes.
• Divide dough into 3 parts, and place in 3 olive oil-coated pizza pie pans; dimple dough with fingers.
• On top of dough, sprinkle a very small amount (approx 1/8 tsp each) of the following ingredients: Kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, chopped rosemary OR thyme.
• Let dough rise 50-60 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
• The baked crusts can be frozen and reheated at a later time.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and sliced red bell peppers and sauté until beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Let onion mixture stand at room temperature.)
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place Boboli on pizza pans or cookie sheets. Spread each Boboli with half of olive paste. Top each with half of onion mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Bake until cheese softens, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped fresh oregano and toasted pine nuts. Cut pizzas into wedges and serve.
