Instructions

1. 1 Place 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Let stand until yeast is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the cold water, yeast mixture, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and biga. Stir together using a sturdy wooden spoon.
3. 3 When the dough comes together, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead vigorously for about 20 minutes. Take a few 1 to 2 minute breaks if you like. The dough will be somewhat sticky until it is fully kneaded. Form dough into a ball. Rub the inside of a clean bowl with oil, and place the dough in it. Turn to coat the ball with oil. Cover with a towel and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size. This will take about 1 1/2 hours.
4. 4 Punch down the dough by folding the edges into the center and turning it over so the top is once again smooth. Cover the bowl again, and let the dough rise a second time until doubled, about 45 minutes.
5. 5 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently flatten into an 8 inch square using the palms of your hands. Cover and let rise again.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking stone in the oven while it preheats. Dust a bakers peel with cornmeal, and gently slide it under the dough square. Use your fingers to make a dimpled surface by pressing them about 3/4 of the way down into the dough. Mist with water.
7. 7 Sprinkle a little cornmeal over the surface of the baking stone. Slide the square off of the peel onto the baking stone. Mist some water into the hot oven, and quickly shut the door.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• semolina flour
• olive oil
• salt
• cornmeal
• pizza sauce
• basil
• provolone cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Pour ⅓ cup warm water into a bowl; sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand to make sure yeast is active, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. 2 Add 1 ½ cups semolina flour, olive oil, and salt to yeast mixture; mix with your hands to form a relatively stiff dough ball, adding more water if needed to bring dough together.
3. 3 Transfer dough to a work surface; knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with the bowl; let rest for 30 minutes.
4. 4 Uncover dough; knead 3 to 4 minutes. Divide dough into 2 portions; shape each into smooth balls, using damp hands to help smooth out dough, if needed.
5. 5 Generously dust half a kitchen towel with semolina flour; place dough balls on top. Sprinkle dough ball tops with semolina flour; cover with other half of towel. Let dough rise until almost doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
6. 6 Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and sprinkle with cornmeal.
7. 7 Roll out each dough ball on a lightly floured surface into a very thin circle or oval shape.
8. 8 Combine pizza sauce and basil in a bowl; spread a thin layer of sauce over dough, leaving a 1 inch border. Scatter provolone every few inches over sauce. Fold opposite dough edges toward the middle to form a rectangle; press lightly to flatten slightly. Repeat spreading sauce and scattering provolone over dough.
9. 9 Fold each end toward the center to make a square shape. Spread with a thin layer of sauce and scatter pieces of cheese on one half. Fold in half, overlapping the edge by about 1 inch. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat filling and folding (Steps 8 and 9) with remaining dough, sauce, and cheese.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until very well browned, 16 to 18 minutes. Some spots may get charred, but this is fine and desirable, since scacce are traditionally cooked in very hot wood-fired ovens. Let rest before slicing and serving, 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• olive oil
• sugar
• salt
• all-purpose flour
• olive oil
• egg
• cheddar cheese
• ricotta cheese
• pepperoni
• mushroom
• basil

Instructions

1. 1 Make dough: Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil, sugar, and salt; mix in 1 cup flour until smooth. Gradually stir in remaining flour until dough is smooth and workable.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough until it is elastic, about 5 minutes. Place 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large bowl; lay dough in the bowl and flip to coat with oil. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
3. 3 Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine Cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and basil leaves in a medium bowl. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate to chill.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
5. 5 Punch down dough; divide into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece out on a lightly floured surface into 1/8-inch-thick circles. Fill each circle with 1/2 of the cheese and meat filling.
6. 6 Fold dough over filling to make a semicircle. Press edges down with the tines of a fork to seal. Brush the top of each calzone with beaten egg and place on the prepared baking sheet.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• olive oil
• zucchini
• cooking spray
• all-purpose flour
• sugar
• salt
• vegetable oil
• water
• pizza sauce
• mozzarella cheese
• mascarpone cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the zucchini in the oil until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. 2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
3. 3 Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Slowly stir in the vegetable oil and warm water. Knead the dough until well blended. On a floured surface, roll the dough out with a rolling pin to fit the prepared pizza pan. Roll the crust thin, and fold over the edges to form a rim. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. Arrange the zucchini slices over the cheese.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the crust is browned, about 15 minutes. Spoon dollops of mascarpone cheese over the pizza. The cheese will melt onto the pizza and spread naturally. Allow the pizza to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

• ✓ active dry yeast
• water
• all-purpose flour
• vegetable oil
• salt
• fig
• red onion
• olive oil
• salt
• thyme
• fennel seed
• goat cheese
• olive oil

Instructions

1. 1 Pour water into a large bowl and sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve. Mix in oil, salt, and flour to make a dough. When dough is too stiff to stir, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for about 5 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, and cover with a clean towel. Set aside to rise for about 45 minutes.
2. 2 Place figs into a small bowl, and pour boiling water over them. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then drain and chop. Set aside.
3. 3 Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until they are wilted and soft. Reduce heat to low, and season with salt. Continue to cook and stir until onions are dark brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in thyme, fennel seed, and figs, and remove from the heat.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Punch down pizza dough, and stretch into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Place on a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Brush surface lightly with remaining olive oil. Spread onion and fig mixture over crust. It will be sparse, but there is plenty of flavor. Dot with pieces of goat cheese.
5. 5 Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crust has turned golden brown at edges.

Ingredients

• ✓ active dry yeast
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• olive oil
• water
• water
• tomato
• extra-virgin olive oil
• butter
• garlic
• shallot
• oregano
• red pepper flake
• sugar
• kosher salt
• pecorino romano cheese

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk together flour, salt, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add olive oil and 1 cup plus 6 tablespoons water. Knead on low speed just until dough comes together, about 3 minutes. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. Knead once more on low speed for 10 minutes until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
2. 2 Remove dough hook, cover top of mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours (up to 24 hours).
3. 3 Meanwhile, for the sauce, add tomatoes to a food processor and roughly puree. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add garlic, shallot, oregano, and pepper flakes. Cook and stir until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pureed tomatoes and season with sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from heat, bring to room temperature, and refrigerate until dough has finished rising.
4. 4 Generously grease the inside of a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Remove dough from the refrigerator 2 hours before baking. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a flat ball. Transfer ball to the greased baking sheet. Coat the ball on all sides with olive oil using your hands, loosely cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour. The dough should spread out . Carefully stretch and push the dough into the corners and edges of the pan. Cover loosely, and let rise for 1 hour longer.
5. 5 Adjust an oven rack to the upper middle position. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
6. 6 When dough has risen, gently dock center with fingertips and use your hands to create a risen ridge about 1 inch wide around the edge.
7. 7 Spread dough generously with sauce, leaving the raised 1-inch edge without the sauce. Bake until edges are lightly browned and crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
8. 8 Sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese, cut into slices, and serve.
