Rising Time: 1 Hour
Cooking Time: 10-15 Minutes
Oven Temp: 450 Degrees
Pizza is a subject that I have tackled once before on this blog so it should come as no surprise that it is one of my favorite things to eat and of course to make. In my earlier entry I used store made dough, but in this application I will show you how to make a quick, but more importantly quality pizza dough recipe that takes about 10 minutes to combine and another hour to rise and have ready to cook with. Home remains where the hearth is. (You see what I did there!) Tee hee…
On the menu today: Thin Crust Flatbread Steak & Cheese Pizza
For the Dough:
- 2 Packets Active Dry Yeast (1/4 ounce each)
- 1 & 1/2 Cup Warm Water 2 Tbs Sugar
- 2 tsp Coarse Salt
- 4 Cups A.P. Flour (a bit more to work the dough and pizza crust)
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil (a bit more for the bowl and dough)
Start off by adding the yeast to the warm water and allowing it to stand until it gets foamy, this will take about 7 minutes. Next, whisk in the oil, sugar and salt before finally adding the flour and mixing until the stick dough forms. Transfer bowls and add the dough into an oiled bowl and add a bit of olive oil to the top before covering and allowing to sit (in a warm place) and rise for an hour.
Pizza Crust:
Start out by cutting off the portion of dough you need for the amount of people you are serving. The recipe yields enough dough for 5-6 medium sized, thin crust pizzas. You will need a dough pin/roller to roll out the dough, being sure to flour your surface areas so that the dough doesn't stick or break. Once you have rolled it to the desired size be sure to use a fork and poke holes in the crust to avoid bubbles.
Steak & Cheese Mis En Place:
- Steak (Sliced)
- Cheddar Cheese
- Provolone Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Red Onions (Sliced Thinly)
Sauce:
- Mustard 1 Tbs
- Catsup 2 Tbs
- Mayo 1/2 Cup
- Garlic Salt 1 tsp
Combine, stir and place on the par-cooked crust before dressing the pizza.
Steak & Cheese:
Cut the steak into thin strips along with the onions. Place in a hot skillet with 1 Tbs of oil and saute the steak first and then add the onions, cooking until mid rare or about 3-5 minutes. Set aside until you are ready to dress the pizza. Dress by adding the sauce first (as much or as little as you'd like), add the mozzarella cheese first, then the steak and onions and finally the other cheeses before placing on a pizza stone in an oven preheated to 450 degrees and cook until done (about 5-7 minutes). I'm eating a cold piece of this pizza now and I swear it taste just like a steak sub… Very Good Stuff.
