Caprese Pizzas

Caprese Pizzas

Ingredients:

Toppings
3 medium vine-ripened tomatoes
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp (15 mL) Basil Oil or olive oil
8 oz (250 g) fresh mozzarella cheese
Coarsely ground black pepper

Crusts
1 tsp plus 1 tbsp (5 mL plus 15 mL) Basil Oil or olive oil, divided
1 package (13.8 oz or 283 g) refrigerated pizza crust
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 oz (30 g) Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). For toppings, slice tomatoes into 1/4-in. (6-mm) slices. Place onto paper towel-lined cutting board. Sprinkle both sides evenly with salt; let stand 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, for crusts, lightly brush Rectangle Stone with 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil. Unroll dough onto baking stone. Press garlic into Prep Bowl and combine with remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil; brush over dough. Grate Parmesan cheese using Deluxe Cheese Grater fitted with coarse grating drum; sprinkle evenly over dough.

3. Cut dough lengthwise into thirds with Pizza Cutter. Carefully move dough strips slightly apart on baking stone. Bake 11-12 minutes or until bottom of crusts are light golden brown.

4. While crusts bake, finish toppings. Chop basil using Santoku Knife (see Cook's Tip); combine with oil in another Prep Bowl and set aside for later use.

5. Blot tops of tomato slices with paper towels. Slice mozzarella cheese into 1/4-in.-thick (6-mm) slices. Arrange tomato and cheese slices in overlapping rows on baked crusts. Return to oven; bake an additional 4-5 minutes or just until cheese melts.

6. Remove baking stone from oven. To serve, brush basil mixture over pizzas using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush and sprinkle with black pepper.

Cook's Tips: Salting tomatoes pulls out the excess moisture, preventing a soggy pizza. Blotting well with paper towels results in a more concentrated flavor.



To easily chop basil, stack leaves on top of each other and roll into a tight cylinder. Slice crosswise to form ribbons. Turn basil ribbons and slice crosswise again.

Pampered Chef Party

The pampered chef party was a HUGE success! Mom should be able to get a lot of cool stuff thanks to her generous friends. I think the last count was 16 people... and I am almost sure everyone got something.

We made a few extra things to eat though because we had soo many people coming that we KNEW there wasnt going to be enough food going around. So we made more. The Pampered Chef lady did a demo on the Baking Stone (very popular), Garlic Press, Silicone Basting Brush, Cooling Rack, Pizza Cutter, Spatula by making pizza... and did a demo of the new stainless steel mixing bowls, Mix and Stir utencil, and Spatula Spoon (first two are new items)

WE MADE

• Caprese Pizza
• Greek Cheese Tora
• Apple Pie a la Stone (A Cold Stone like dessert)
