  1. 1 Combine white sugar and warm water in a large bowl or in a work bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle yeast over warm sugar water, and let stand for 5 minutes until yeast softens and forms a creamy foam. Stir 1 tablespoon olive oil into yeast mixture.
  2. 2 Stir 1/2 teaspoon salt into flour. Mix half of flour mixture into yeast water, and stir until no dry spots remain. Stir in remaining flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. You can also mix with a dough hook in a stand mixer.
  3. 3 Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Combine crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and salt in a small saucepan. Cover the pan, and cook over low heat until tomatoes start to break down, about 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Deflate dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll one piece into a 12-inch thin circle. Roll other half into a thicker, 9-inch circle.

Layer pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper, red pepper, and remaining cheese on sausage patty. Top with 9-inch dough round and pinch edges to seal. Cut several 1/2-inch vent holes in top crust. Spread sauce evenly on the top crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edges.
  7. 7 Bake pizza in the oven until the crust is set, cheese is melted, and sausage is cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let hot pizza rest for 15 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

  1. 1 Beat eggs and salt lightly in a bowl.
  2. 2 Stir 1/2 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons lukewarm milk, yeast, and sugar together in a bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Mix tipo 00 and bread flours together in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Add beaten eggs and yeast mixture. Mix together with a fork. Add water and mix again to form a sticky ball. Knead butter into the dough a little bit at a time.
  4. 4 Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead vigorously until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place in a lightly floured bowl, cover with a clean, damp cloth and let rest in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
  5. 5 Turn dough out on a floured surface. Stretch out one piece and fold it over the top. Repeat with another section of dough, working your way around the circle. Place dough in a paper panettone mold. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until dough reaches the rim of the mold, about 2 hours.
  6. 6 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill a baking dish with some water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven to keep the panettone moist as it bakes.
  7. 7 Brush the top of the panettone with some milk and place the mold on a flat baking sheet.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Pierce the side, near the bottom, with 2 long wooden skewers that will stick out the other side. Flip the panettone gently and set the skewers on the rim of a tall pot. Cool panettone upside down so it doesn't collapse, at least 5 hours.
  9. 9 Mix tuna and mayonnaise together in a bowl until smooth. Blend olives, olive oil, anchovy fillets, and capers in another bowl until smooth. Mix cream cheese and ham together in a third bowl.
  10. 10 Remove skewers gently from the panettone and slice lengthwise to obtain 6 slices, including the top. Lay the bottom slice on a serving plate; spread with tuna mixture. Cover with shrimp and lettuce. Press second slice on top; add third slice. Spread olive mixture on top and cover with mozzarella cheese. Press fourth slice on top; add fifth slice. Spread cream cheese mixture on top and cover with prosciutto. Cover with the top slice.
  11. 11 Wrap panettone in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice into wedges from top to bottom.

  2. 2 Knead with dough hook until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough ball and easily pulls away from the sides and the hook, about 5 minutes. (If still too sticky, add a bit more flour and knead a few more seconds.) Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dough and sides of bowl a few drops of vegetable oil. Spread a film of oil over the surface of the dough.
  3. 3 Cover the bowl and transfer to a warm, draft-free place until dough is doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Form into a rectangle shape and cut into 6 equal pieces. Using your cupped hand and the work surface, roll each section of dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and let rest 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Flatten dough balls into 6- or 7-inch long ovals. Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a cylinder, applying extra pressure to the ends to form pointy tips for a classic French roll shape. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (do not crowd them) and cover with clean dry towels until doubled, about 1 hour.
  6. 6 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack.

  8. 8 Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes. Spritz loaves again and rotate pans for a more even bake. Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely before cutting.
