White Stripes Pizza


Yes ladies and gentlemen, i'm back...sorry for the lapse. i've been dancing and cooking, but just not posting. i've been making munkys like a mad woman, and haven't found the time to post...but now, as my dinner simmers on the stove, i'll share with you a recipe (or, more of a technique) for the yummiest pizza EVER. i recently made a convert of my friend Shannon, who astonishingly asked me "what is a white pizza?"...i had no choice but to convert her then and there, so here is my White Pizza technique.  (its not a recipe, because i don't have measurements...i simply put however much i like of each ingredient on the pizza. :) )



WHITE PIZZA
• cut up 1 chicken breast into bite size pieces, and pan fry till done.
• cut up mushrooms, onion and marinated artichoke hearts
• take fresh pizza dough (home made or store bought) and stretch it into whatever shape you will want your final pizza to resemble. 
• Place the pizza dough on a pizza stone or a stone baking sheet sprinkled with corn meal
• drizzle pizza dough with olive oil, or whatever oil you have on hand. 
• sprinkle pizza with parsley, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder and parmesan cheese
• put grated mozzarella cheese on pizza
• sprinkle pizza with chicken, mushrooms, onion and artichoke
• give another healthy sprinkle of grated parmesan to the assembled pizza
• give a shake of salt over the pizza

•put the pizza into a preheated 425ยบ oven for around 20 minutes, or till slightly browning, and bubbly. (you know what a pizza looks like when it's done right? well, get it to that point and take it out. :)

•let it sit for a few minutes out of the oven before cutting. transfer on to a wooden cutting board (don't cut on your stone) and slice with a pizza slicer. 

YOU MAY NEED TO EAT THIS WITH A FORK AND A KNIFE...it's a meal...not an app!!




it's quite possibly the best thing ever. yum!! giving an extra little shake of salt before eating really brings out the flavour of everything on your slice. 
enjoy!!

cheers.

hey cherie,
that pizza sounds amazing!
quick question: my bread maker quit on me, do you have a good dough recipe from scratch or do you use a breadmaker?

i have only ever used a bread machine recipe...it contained beer, and was super yummy. i think that you could adapt any recipe from bread maker to non-bread maker...just by mixing all your wet ingredients and adding them to a well in your dried ingredients on your counter, and slowly incorporating them together...it just takes a lot more work. OR you can probably use your stand mixer (if you have a large counter top model like a kitchen aid) for all your heavy mixing. might save time. i'll post the beer pizza recipe soon!!
