Game Day Recipe: Stuffed Crust Pizza

I know everyone will be making and ordering pizza like crazy this Super bowl, but why make your game day like every one elses.

Here is a unique twist on pizza.

 

Stuffed Crust Phyllo Pizza 

Ingredients
½ cup roasted garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
16 sheets Athens®Fillo Dough (9” x 14”), thawed
1 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
½ cup smoked turkey leg meat, shredded
1 cup baby arugula
2 tablespoons Parmesan, grated

In a small bowl, mash or puree the roasted garlic into a paste. Thin down the garlic paste with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

On a sheet of parchment paper, lay one sheet of fillo and brush with a thin layer of olive oil. Lay another sheet over the first over vertically to create a plus sign. Repeat twice more laying the sheets diagonally to form an “X” over the plus sign. Repeat this process again to form a crust that is 8 sheets thick. Repeat to create a second crust.

Leaving at least the outer 2 inches of the dough uncovered, work quickly to spread a thin layer of the roasted garlic puree in the center of the crust. Spread half of the mozzarella in a ring around the garlic puree. Roll the fillo around the cheese to form an eight-inch “stuffed crust” pizza. Brush the crust with olive oil. Top the center of the pizza with half of the sliced mushrooms, shredded turkey meat, arugula and Parmesan. Using the parchment paper for support, transfer the pizza onto a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Repeat to form a second pizza.

Bake in a preheated 425°F degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is browned evenly.

Yield: 2 personal pizzas

Tip:
This recipe dramatically reduces the fat and overall calories of a “take out style stuffed crust” pizza.

Momma’s Calzones

Momma’s Calzones

We were craving pizza badly, but my oven was dead (it stills is.)

So I decided to make some calzones using my air cookers.  Mind you I have never had one before, but thought what the heck.

Here is how I did it:

  1. Made a batch of pizza dough with my bread machine
  2. Separated it into 5 pieces
  3. Rolled each into circles
  4. Spread some pizza sauce on each piece
  5. Sprinkle Mozzarella Cheese
  6. Spread Turkey Pepperoni
  7. Fold over half the dough, pinch, twist, and pinch again the sides like this:

Next I put this in the air cooker for 8 minutes and flipped it over and cooked the other side for another 8 minutes.

And this is the yummy I got:

Some variations I thought of later:

  1. Butter the dough and sprinkle with seasoning before I bake it.
  2. Add more sauce, make it drip when I cut it open.

This was real easy to make and a big hit with the kids.
