All Meat -Hand Rolled Pizza with Home Made Pizza Dough

After Glenn and I had a nice date in Mona Lisa, Alabang a few weeks back, he asked me if I can make the super yummy Pannize that we ate. I said I'll give it a try... and so I did. Here's the result! :-)

I did a combination of a Yummy recipe (Jan/ Feb issue p.44) and a cream sauce recipe I found online. No pizza pans were available but used our pyrex dish. I'm pretty sure the dough would have booked better in a pizza pan but it still tasted yummy according to my siblings. :-)

Pizza Dough

Ingredients:

2 tsp instant yeast

3/4 cup lukewarm water

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tbsp oil

1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Combine flour, yeast, water, oil and salt

2. Mix until just combined

3. Transfer dough to a light floured surface and knead for about 5 mins until well-mixed. Cover with a kitchen towel. Set aside and let rise for about 10 mins. Punch the dough down and knead for another 5 mins.

4. Divide dough into 2 parts and form into 2 small balls. Knead for about 1 minute.

5. Dust a flat work surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, flatten the 2 dough balls and slowly roll into desired shape and lay out in a pizza pan.

Cream Pizza Sauce:

1/4 cup butter

3 cloves garlic minced

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup all purpose cream

some Italian seasoning and oregano

pinch of salt and pepper

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat

2. Add garlic and saute for 3 mins

3. Stir in the cheese, cream, salt and pepper

4. Add Italian seasoning and oregano

5. Remove from heat

6. Spread on pizza dough

Pizza Topping

1/4 cup Pork sausage removed from skin

1/8 cup burger bits

1/8 cup pepperoni

1 cup mozzarella cheese

Spread pizza topping on pizza dough with cream sauce.

Preheat oven at 190C and place pizza for 5 to 10 mins or until the crust is completely cooked.

Toppings for a roll:

Alfalfa sprouts

Arugula

Olive oil

Chili oil

Parmesan cheese

Add a little bit of everything on the pizza slice and roll like paper. Stuff in your mouth. :-)

Areas of Improvement:

1. Use either a pan used for pizzas (stone or aluminum should be ok, I guess)

2. Make the pizza crust thicker (just a tad bit so that its easier to roll)

3. Since its a rolled pizza, maybe lesser toppings
