Roasted vegetable pizza with parmesan pizza dough
The dough:
4 cups flour
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. fast-rising yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups cold water
1/4 cup olive oil
Mix the all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until mixture forms a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface gradually adding up to one cup additional flour until smooth and elastic. Cut dough into four pieces. Each piece is enough for a 12 inch pizza. Spray with cooking spray and cover lightly....lest rest for 15 minutes. Dough that you are not using can be placed in a freezer bag that has been sprayed with cooking spray and frozen for up to 3 months. You can also keep the dough in the refridgerator for up to 2 days.
Roasted Vegetable Pizza
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup sliced zucchini
1 medium bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red onion, diced
1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil
Place veggies in a large bowl, add pepper and olive oil. Toss to coat. Place veggies on a jelly roll and bake at 500 degrees for 15 minutes. Place 1/3 cup tomato sauce on your crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add veggies and top with an additional 1/2 cup of cheese. Dollop with 1/3 cup ricotta.
Bake at 500 degrees for 11 minutes until crust is golden. Sprinkle with basil.
I recommend using a pizza stone and pre-cooking your crust. I spread out the crust on the stone, sprinkle with corn meal, and then prick the crust with a fork all over. Place the crust in the pre-heated oven for approximately 7 minutes. This cooks the crust and hopefully will give you a crispy crust.
