Personal Pizza Adventures

As a lover of pizza, I'm always excited to try new recipes and share them with my readers. My food blog, The Everyday Gourmet, has two homemade pizza recipes with a traditional tomato sauce base. The first one is a grilled balsamic onion pizza with mozzarella and prosciutto, topped with fresh arugula. The second one features goat cheese, spicy sausage, mushrooms, and a sprinkle of fresh garlic. You can read more about these recipes here.

One of my friends and I attempted to replicate a particular cheeseboard pizza and it was a resounding success. The ingredients for this pizza include corn, chile pasilla, onions, mozzarella, feta cheese, garlic, olive oil, and key limes to squeeze over it after it has been baked. We used pre-made pizza dough, and highly recommend Wholefoods over Trader's Joes if you can find it.

Going Red Sauce-Free

While red sauce-based pizzas are classic and beloved, there are many delicious options for those seeking a flavor change. Here are a couple of our favorite pizza recipes:

Pesto Spiced Pizza

Make a pesto with spicy greens like arugula, Parmesan cheese, walnuts, and olive oil, but keep the oil to a moderate level. Sauté some Italian spicy sausage and some mushrooms in the same pan. Add fresh mozzarella sparingly on top, then bake it. This recipe ensures a crispy crust and bold flavors.

Vegan and Simple

A straightforward yet memorable pizza comes from my family's favorite: Only olive oil, then ground tomatoes, and finally mozzarella. Growing up, this was a common sight, especially when combined with sesame seeds sprinkled around the crust.

Mushroom Pizza Recipe

Here's a recipe for a simple yet delightful mushroom pizza that your friends and family will love:

Ingredients:

frac12; red onion 3 cups of fresh mushrooms (baby bellas are best) Truffle oil Balsamic oil Danish fontina cheese Dough

Start by slicing the onion into rings and caramelizing them in balsamic. Sauté the mushrooms until half-cooked, then set them aside. Roll out your dough, and spread a mixture of truffle oil and balsamic to cover the dough. Add grated fontina cheese, followed by the sautéed mushrooms. Placing onions sporadically on top, bake at high heat on a pre-heated pizza stone. Once cooked, sprinkle some fresh Parmesan cheese over the pizza. Serve hot for an amazing flavor experience!

The result is a pizza that is both simple and bold, with the sweet balsamic onions complementing the earthy mushrooms and truffle oil. It's a recipe that showcases that sometimes, less is more.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer spicy chorizo and chilli, or a classic tomato and mozzarella base, homemade pizza offers endless possibilities for flavor and creativity. Experiment with different toppings and techniques to discover what your taste buds love the most. Happy cooking and enjoy your delicious homemade pizzas!
