The Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet Newsletter

March, 2009

 

Making gourmet pizzas with fresh produce and artisan cheeses is all well and good, but one of the best things about having a pizza oven in your outdoor kitchen is that you can easily add kid-friendly pizzas to your party menus. In that spirit, we've created four pizza recipes just for kids, and right on time for spring break.

 

Cheers,

Russ Faulk

PB&J Pizza Pinwheels

Cooking jelly at more than 400°F with its high sugar content is a recipe for burnt food, but folding over the crust on these pinwheels protects most of the peanut butter and jelly from direct heat, making these a delightful treat for the kids.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Pizza Pinwheels


Servings:


4 pizza pinwheels


Ingredients:


22 ounces pizza dough

 

About 1 cup peanut butter

 

About 1 cup strawberry (or other) preserves


Directions:

Preheat your pizza oven or a pizza stone on the grill (instructions on our website) to about 450°F.

Roll out the pizza dough into a square about 15 inches to a side. Trim the large dough into four smaller, perfect squares, then roll those thinner until they are each roughly 8 inches to a side.

Start with one square. Stretch the corners to elongate them, making the dough into a four-pointed star. Transfer to a pizza prep peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread 1/4 of the the peanut butter onto the dough in a square shape that is on a diagonal to the four-pointed star. Spread a layer of strawberry preserves on top of the peanut butter. Lift two opposing corners of the star to the middle, folding over the filling and firmly press them together between your fingers to join at the middle. Repeat with the other two corners and then press the four corners together at the middle.

Repeat to make a total of four pinwheels on your pizza prep peel.

Transfer the pinwheels to the pizza oven and bake until golden brown on top and cooked through, about 15 minutes.

The filling will be quite hot. Let the pinwheels cool at least 5 minutes to serve warm, but not hot.

Macaroni and Cheese Pizza with Hot Dogs

We make a special occasion on the weekends out of cooking cheese pizza with my five-year-old son. He particularly enjoys assembling his own pie. Given that his other favorite foods are macaroni and cheese and hot dogs, this recipe is right up his alley.

Macroni and Cheese Pizza with Hot Dogs

 


Servings:


1 17-inch pizza


Ingredients:


22 ounces pizza dough

 

3 ounces grated cheddar cheese

 

1 1/2 cups cooked Kraft macaroni and cheese, room temperature

 

2 all-beef jumbo hot dogs, sliced


Directions:

Preheat your pizza oven or a pizza stone on the grill (instructions on our website) to about 500°F.

Roll, stretch or toss the dough to prepare it for a 17-inch pizza. Transfer the dough to a pizza prep peel dusted with cornmeal. Sprinkle half of the cheddar onto the dough, and then add the macaroni and cheese. Top the macaroni and cheese with the remaining cheddar and add the hot dog slices.

Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone and bake for about 10 minutes until the crust is crisp and the cheese is browning.

Smiling Cheese Pizza

This kid's pizza is about as basic as it gets, but adding a smiley face brings laughter to the party.

 

Pink Grapefruit Martini Recipe


Servings:


1 17-inch pizza


Ingredients:


22 ounces pizza dough

 

About 2/3 cup store-bought pizza sauce

 

About 5 ounces shredded scarmoza cheese (or mozzarella)

 

Cheddar cheese for the eyes and mouth

Directions:

Preheat your pizza oven or a pizza stone on the grill (instructions on our website) to about 500°F.

Roll, stretch or toss the dough to prepare it for a 17-inch pizza. Transfer the dough to a pizza prep peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread around the pizza sauce and top with scarmoza. Cut the cheddar for the eyes and mouth into the desired shapes and set aside.

Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone and bake for about 5 minutes. Add the eyes and mouth, and continue baking until the crust is crisp and the scarmoza is browning.

Peanut Butter and Banana Pizza with Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows

A pizza that may bring Elvis out of hiding or a kids' pizza party dream come true — you be the judge.

Peanut Butter and Banana Pizza with Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows

 


Servings:


1 17-inch pizza


Ingredients:


22 ounces pizza dough

 

About 3/4 cup creamy style peanut butter

 

1 to 2 bananas, sliced

 

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

1/4 cup mini marshmallows


Directions:

Preheat your pizza oven or a pizza stone on the grill (instructions on our website) to about 500°F.

Roll, stretch or toss the dough to prepare it for a 17-inch pizza. Transfer the dough to a pizza prep peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread the peanut butter onto the dough and add the bananas. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips.

Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone and bake for about 5 minutes. Add the marshmallows and continue cooking until the crust is crisp and the toppings are browning, about 5 minutes more.
