Cool Bacon, Beef, Sweet Corn and Green Peppers Pizza

Today guess what?

I have a another awesome and delicious Pizza Recipe!

This time we are going to make a delicious Pizza with Bacon, Beef, Sweet Corn and Green Peppers!
 

Ingredients

For the base

• 300g strong bread flour.
• 1 tsp instant yeast (from a sachet or a tub).
• 1 tsp salt.
• 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling.

For the tomato sauce

• 100ml passata.
• Handful fresh basil or 1 tsp dried.
• 1 garlic clove, crushed.

Toppings

• 125g ball mozzarella, sliced.
• 125g of Bacon.
• 125g of Beef.
• 50g of Sweet Corn.
• 50g of Green Peppers.
• Handful grated or shaved parmesan.

Preparation

Make the base:

Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt.
Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth.
Cover with a tea towel and set aside.
You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it’s not essential for a thin crust.

Make the sauce:

Mix the passata, basil and crushed garlic together, then season to taste.
Leave to stand at room temperature while you get on with shaping the base.

Roll out the dough:

If you’ve let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into two balls.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin.
The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven.
Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.

Top and bake:

Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C /gas 8.
Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf.
Smooth sauce over bases with the back of a spoon.
Scatter with bacon, beef, sweet corn, green peppers and cheese, drizzle with olive oil and season.
Put one pizza, still on its baking sheet, on top of the preheated sheet or tray.
Bake for 8-10 mins until crisp.

Pizza Bolognese

Everyone loves pizza!
So today I have a delicious Bolognese Pizza recipe for you.
It's a medium challenge to make this recipe but it's well spent the time doing this delicious pizza...

Ingredients

• 1 long loaf, 20 to 24 inches, Italian semolina bread, day old is fine
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
• 2 slices pancetta or bacon, chopped
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 small carrot, peeled and chopped
• Coarse black pepper and coarse salt
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon allspice, 1/3 palm full
• 1/2 cup red wine, 1 couple of glugs
• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• Handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 1 pound fresh smoked mozzarella, fresh mozzarella or scamorza (firmer, aged mozzarella balls) thinly sliced
• 4 handfuls grated Parmigiano or Romano
• 1 cup fresh basil, 20 leaves, shredded or torn

Directions

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Split bread lengthwise then cut in half again and hollow out some of the insides of bread. Lightly crisp bread in oven, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove bread and switch broiler on.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add the pancetta, render a minute or so, add the meat and break it up into an even layer. Let the meat caramelize 1 to 2 minutes without stirring. Break it into small bits and brown well. Add garlic, onions and carrots and season with lots of coarse pepper, some salt, Worcestershire and allspice then cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add wine and scrape up pan bits. Add stock and loosen up the mixture a little. Add tomatoes and parsley and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Fill breads and top with a thin layer of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmigiano or Romano. Broil the pizzas to melt cheese. Top each pizza liberally with basil and serve (with a fork and knife).
