A New Spin On Pizza
Ingredients:
I took my usual pizza crust recipe & rolled it to 1/4" thick.Using a perforated pizza pan, I sprayed it with a "PAM" type stuff and laid my dough on it. I turned on my oven broiler to LOW, and my oven rack was about 3" from heat source.I slid my pan with the dough under the broiler for a few minutes until it just began to brown.I pulled the pan out, waited a minute or two and then I flipped the crust over on the pan and slid it under the broiler again.I let it brown slightly (less than the other side) then I pulled crust from the oven, dressed the pizza with sauce, veggies and cheeses.I put it under the broiler again and let it cook until the cheese began to brown & it looked done.This is similar to how you would cook a pizza on your BBQ outdoors.
Method:
I am sure this doesnt sound like a startling revelation to many of you seasoned cooks out there, but making my pizza this way totally altered the taste of the crust and its toppings-for us at least.Something about being under the broiler really makes the flavors sing, and its got to be way more energy efficient using a broiler on low, than waiting for my oven to heat to 500° like I used to do!!Yes, you can use broiler on HIGH setting, but you better watch it close cuz It will burn fast.Try it and see what you think.
