Moosewood Pizzas

Hi,

This recipe is used by a few of you already... 

On Tuesday night I made the dough for Calzones on page 160.  Instead of using it for Calzones, I made pizzas.  I followed the recipe using honey and 1 cup of white flour and 2 cups of wheat flower.  I have a pizza stone which I borrowed from a friend and heated the oven up to 500 degrees.  To make the sauce I used one can of organic tomato paste, a little water, and some pesto (a recipe from a friend).  I rolled the dough very thin, spread the sauce, and put Gruyere, mozzarella, and a little Parmesan on top.  Then I placed finely chopped poblano peppers and scallions (the scallions were from the Farmer's market).  It turned out I rolled the dough a little too thin so I folded the edges in on itself and brushed it with olive oil before putting it in the oven.  It was delicious and gorgeous

Ellie made her own pizza.  She rolled out her dough, spread her sauce, and sprinkled her cheese on top.   She had a blast and loved her pizza!

  1. This recipe for Calzone is one I used for YEARS! I had totally forgotten about it! I love it! My cook book fell open to that page! Am looking forward to trying it again.

  2. This is a favorite at our house. We stuff them full of roasted veggies or roasted chicken, spinach and cheese. Just about anything will do. This recipe is a great way to stretch one night's dinner into two.
