Greek Pizza

Hi all! Emily here again with a tasty Greek pizza recipe. It's easy too, so you can enjoy more time with your family. We've been on a wonderful summer tour of WI and IA with our family. The weather has been amazing and we've been enjoying our time away from Hong Kong {it's been HOT there!} A few weeks ago we had a family pizza night where all the "kids" in my family {all adults now} make up a pizza... there are four of us so we always get a great variety!

 

You will need:

 Pre-Made Pizza Thin Crust

1/2 Cup tomato sauce

1 small can sliced black olives

1 small red onion sliced thin

1 small yellow pepper sliced thin

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 TBS mined garlic

1-2 cups Mozz cheese {as you like} 

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Spread the sauce on the crust and then add the Mozz cheese. I like to put the toppings ON TOP of the cheese so they get roasted in the oven. Place all toppings evenly around the pizza, add feta and parm last. Sprinkle with the minced garlic. Place in pre-heated oven {according to pizza crust temp} and cook for 10 {ish} min. The crust should be crispy and the cheese melted...

Now, cool and enjoy! YUM, we ate it all up.

Here's a great shot of all our pizza's laid out on the counter. Sometime in the near future I'll be sharing the recipes for the other pizza's here on my blog.. stay tuned!

PMS Pizza? It's not what you think ... or maybe it is?!

PMS Pizza is a delicious homemade pizza topped with plenty of pepperoni, mushrooms and sausage!! What did you think it was?! It rivals the best pizza joint in town - but it's better!! Better why?! Because you control the quality (and lets be real - the quantity) of ingredients on this pie! Delizioso!



Remember me telling y'all that I am soooo lame when it comes to naming things?! We'll call this post, "exhibit 674" ...... of many. A part of me finds a slight sense of amusement in knowing that people will ask, "what the heck is a PMS Pizza" ... what can I say, I need to get out more. Spend all day, every day with a bunch of kids and you'll find amusement in naming pizzas too. Just sayin'.

This PMS {pepperoni - mushroom - sausage} Pizza is one of my family's favorites! Use my Bread Machine Pizza Dough Recipe for an easy Friday night pizza night (or any night for that matter)!! :) Of course, store bought pizza dough/crust or your favorite pizza dough recipe is great too! Just adjust any cooking times accordingly. 

We usually like to have our pizza with a big salad or some kind of fresh fruit. Be sure to pass the Parmesan cheese and pepper flakes for the pizza! I hope your family enjoys this PMS Pizza as much as mine!

Holy Shiitake Pizza {with EASY Garlic Aioli}

Truth ..... I told y'all before that I stink at naming stuff. Sometimes, I actually amuse myself with some of the stuff that I think of. Yeah, I need to get a life. LOL. Unfortunately for you, this is one of those times. Sure, I could have just called this a mushroom pizza - because that's "technically" what it is .... or I could throw a little bit of shock factor and some humor in there with the hopes that some of y'all might just be intrigued enough to come check it out!

I'm guessing if you've made it to this part, you were intrigued or you really just like mushroom pizza! LOL. Any who - This pizza has THREE kinds of mushrooms,  caramelized onions, cheese, chives and a super simple {cheaters} Garlic Aioli - that I think makes the pizza go from being just a pizza to being bomb-diggity!

Even mushroom haters may like this pizza - my 17 yr. old swears he hates mushrooms - he even goes as far as telling me they're bad for his health ..... but even he liked this pizza! Score one for mom! ;) 

You will notice I don't necessarily give amounts for the sauce or toppings - I really believe that is a matter of personal preference. I used about 4 oz. of each of the mushrooms, and I carmelized one medium onion for this recipe - use more or less depending on your tastes or what you have on hand! :)



Holy Shiitake Pizza
Printable recipe
Yield: 1 large pizza (8-10 slices) or 2 small pizzas (6 slices each)

EASY Garlic Aioli:
¾ cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

For the pizza:
1 pizza crust recipe or your favorite homemade or store bought crust
Pizza sauce, to taste
1½-2 cups (6-8 oz.) Mozzarella cheese
Baby Portabella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
White button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
Shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
Caramelized onions
Chives, snipped

Add the ingredients to the bread machine, according to manufacturer’s settings. Select the dough setting. After the machine beeps, press the dough onto a greased pizza pan.

Meanwhile, mix mayo, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Drizzle the crust with olive oil and bake it at 450°F for ten minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and add sauce, cheese and mushrooms, caramelized onions and snipped chives. Place the pizza(s) into the oven for another ten to fifteen minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve hot with the EASY Garlic Aioli on the side!

**Note - If you are using your own crust or a store bought one, follow the cooking directions for those.

How about you ... are you down for some Holy Shiitake Pizza?
So tempting ...... mmmmmm!

Roadhouse Pizza

Wooooo-weeee! It's almost Friday, y'all! I'm so ready for the weekend!
My family kinda fell off the Friday night pizza night train when we moved to Phoenix .... it's just too darn hot to be having that oven on! Everyone once in awhile, we (by we, I mean I) drudge through and give into our craving. I wanted something a little bit different for our pizza on this occasion .... I came up with the Roadhouse Pizza - it's topped with BBQ sauce and a combination of yummy ingredients like ground beef, bacon, jalapenos, tomatoes, onion and cheese! I wasn't really sure what to call this pizza, but for some reason, the word "roadhouse" stuck out in my mind - so that's what we'll call it. Mmm-kay? I have no rhyme nor reason to what I do, what can I say?!
If you enjoy pizza night at your house, I hope you'll give this version a try .... it has become one of my new absolute faves!
