Creative Pizzas - A New Take on the Classic Dish
Everyone knows about pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza.
Have you ever considered making something more creative? Pizzas can be the canvas upon which you exercise your culinary art skills.
Perhaps you could make a pizza with olive oil, Romano cheese, and garlic if you were in the mood for something simple with a gourmet twist.
Alternatively, you could add chunks of steak, cheese and caramelized onions to create a Philly cheese steak pizza.
You really are only limited by your imagination.
The recipe included is for a baked potato pizza.
It may sound unusual, but that is the point.
You get all the fun of eating a pizza, but each bite tastes like a baked potato.
It plays with your mind a little bit, which makes it even more fun.
If you take a moment, you can come up with all sorts of creative pizzas that you could put together.
It is a lot of fun to tweak classic dishes like this.
When you want to tweak a pizza, it is important to pick an excellent crust recipe.
You want one that is sturdy enough to handle the toppings you will use, yet add a nice flavor to the finished dish.
At the same time, if you are doing something creative, you do not want to have a crust that intrudes on the flavor you are trying to create.
Once you find a good crust recipe, keep it on hand so you can whip some up when you have the time.
Pizza dough freezes well, so you can easily keep some in the freezer until you need it.
Watch your sauce, too.
For example, take a look at our baked potato pizza.
It just would not taste right if we used a tomato-based sauce on it.
Instead, we used sour cream.
This choice helps each bite have that desired baked potato flavor.
Other sauce choices for your pizzas may include pesto sauce or alfredo sauce.
Recipe for Baked Potato Pizza What You Need
Bake for 5 to 6 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit to start firming it up.
Slice the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes.
Mix the butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning together in a bowl.
Add the potato cubes and toss to coat.
Use a spatula to spread a layer of sour cream over the crust.
Top it with the potato mixture, onions, cheeses, and bacon.
Put the pizza back in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
