After a two-week hiatus from Perno Pizza Friday (because of other obliagtions), we were ready to get back into the swing of things! While I formulated the recipe, Mike gets the rest of the credit as he did all the cooking.
Both Mike & I would have to say that this has been our favorite pizza yet! Since Mike did the cooking, I'll let him fill you in on the details. Mike, take it away!
--Hey everyone Mike Pernecky here, Founder and Purveyor of Perno Pizza Fridays. Here's how it went down: I rolled out a wheat pizza dough ball from our local grocery store and slapped it onto a pizza pan, the kind with holes in it so the crust cooks on the top and bottom (airbake). Next I used Ragu brand alfredo as our sauce, and spread that deliciousness all around the dough. Then, added a thin layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the toppings. The toppings included sliced black olives, chopped sun dried tomatoes, and some pre-cooked spicy turkey Italian sausage.
I noticed some of the dough was overlapping the pizza pan, so I figured I'd take a page out of Pizza Hut's book and make a little cheese-stuffed crust...so when I added a bunch more mozzarella and "Italian 5-cheese" shredded cheese, I made sure to put extra cheese in the spots that had excess dough hanging over, and folded the dough over those spots. Then I simply painted the crust with some olive oil and slid the pie into a 400 degree oven for about 10-12 minutes. One thing I forgot was the feta cheese hunks, so I added those and popped the pizza in for another minute or two. It was awesome. I tend to get wordy so here's a quick run down of what the pizza had:
- Alfredo sauce
- Shredded mozzarella and "Italian 5 cheese blend" cheeses
- Spicy Italian turkey sausage (casing removed, and browned in chunks)
- Sliced black olives (canned)
- Chopped sun dried tomatoes (or SDTs) as we refer to them in these parts
- Wheat dough ball
Sounds delicious!!!
