Why order out when you can have this mouthwatering pizza ready before the delivery guy shows up? And the kids can help you make it!Vivian Taylor, Middleburg, Florida Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
3/4 cup warm water (120° to 130°) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 jar (10 ounces) sun-dried tomato pesto |
1 large red onion, chopped |
1/4 cup bacon bits |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1 cup (4 ounces) sharp shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add water and oil; mix until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, garlic and pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain.
4. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 15-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 450° for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
5. Sprinkle crust with Parmesan cheese. Top with pesto, meat mixture, onion, bacon bits, and mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 slices.
