A homemade bread crust covers a bubbly, Italian-style stew featuring pizza sauce, vegetables and cheese. The individual pies are so hearty, you'll want to eat them with a knife and fork. Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon honey |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
2-1/2 to 3 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
filling: |
1 jar (14 ounces) pizza sauce |
1 small eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped |
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
4 ounces sliced pepperoni |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese |
3/4 cup shredded asiago cheese |
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 teaspoons honey |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 teaspoon pizza or italian seasoning |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, honey, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. In a large bowl, combine the pizza sauce, vegetables, pepperoni, cheeses, honey, garlic and seasonings; divide among eight 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups.
4. Punch dough down. Divide dough into eight portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit ramekins. Cut out a decorative center with a small Christmas cookie cutter or small cookie cutter of your choice. Place dough over filling; trim and seal edges. Brush with oil.
5. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.
