Daring Bakers Challenge - Pizza

Filed under Daring Bakers, Pizza

Gosh, I totally forgot that today’s the posting day for the daring bakers challenge. I almost missed it!
When this month’s hostess Rosa’s Yummy Yums revealed this month’s challenge, I was very excited to find out that it is pizza. Currently every Friday night is Pizza night in my house, so I am always on a lookout for pizza recipes.

Just like last month’s challenge, this recipe is taken from Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. One of the challenge of this month is to take a photo of us tossing the pizza into the air. Hmmm… obviously mine is missing because my toss-up was a total failure!! Haha! The dough ended up with lots of holes!! In the end I ended up just stretching the dough. 

I only made half the recipe because I ran out of bread flour. I wish I had made more because they turned out so good! I baked the pizza on my baking stone, so they turned out really crispy. I tried to make it as thin as possible because that is my favorite type of crust - thin & crispy.

I made 2 types of pizza. The first is the caramelized onion, bacon and ham pizza for me and the hubby.

Caramelized Onion, Bacon & Ham Pizza

For my little girl, I made her favorite cheese pizza. Sorry for the bad photo. I had to take a quick photo before the little one grabbed it.

Cheese Pizza

In conclusion, everyone loved the pizza. I will definitely make it again. Next time I will make the whole recipe so that I can make a dessert pizza.

Easy-peasy Pizza

Filed under Pizza

When we have pizza for dinner, I usually try to make my own pizza from scratch including the crust like this.  But there are somedays when I am too lazy and yet I feel like having pizza, I use this - ready made pizza crust!

Then open a bottle of basil and garlic spaghetti sauce, spread on the pizza, top it off with sausage, bacon, onion, mushroom and cheese. Bake it at 500 for about 10 min & voila, a fresh pizza from the oven.

Much better than to order pizza delivery which arrives an hour later with a cold pizza!

Chicken Alfredo Caramelized Onion Pizza

Filed under Pizza

Seems like the last few pizzas that we’ve been having has either been pepperoni pizza, hawaiian pizza or DH’s favorite -”everything on it” pizza. Getting a little tired of these tomato-based pizza, so I decided to try something different today & came up with Chicken Alfredo Caramelized Onion pizza!!

For this pizza I use the recipe from Nook & Pantry for pizza base & caramelized onion, and added my own chicken Alfredo which I made using store-bought Alfredo powder.

Here it is b4 going into the oven . . . . .

And 12 mins later, hot from the oven . . . .

Verdict: Very yummy!! Will definitely make this again & maybe try with other toppings.
