I miss Italy. The sunshine, food, people, art, and the landscape. I loved everything about that country. And so I celebrated Italy tonight and made a pizza. Not just any pizza, but a pizza inspired by my favorite pizza in Rome. If you read this whole post until the bottom of the recipe, you'll see a picture of that very pizza.
You can top your pizza with anything. Some great suggestions are roasted eggplant, zucchini, roasted peppers, olives, spinach, broccoli, fresh garlic, herbs, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and sundried tomatoes. Seriously, the list could go on.
Roman Vegetable Pizza
For the dough:
1 cup lukewarm water
2 tsp instant dry yeast
2 tsp sea salt
2 1/2 cup spelt flour
2 tbsp olive oil
For the toppings:
1/2 cup cooked mushrooms
1/2 cup kalamata olives
5 sundried tomatoes, chopped
2 roasted red peppers, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cooked spinach
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced and lightly sauteed
1 small eggplant, thinly sliced, drizzled in olive oil, and roasted at 400 degrees for 15 minutes until tender
4 cloves fresh garlic
1/4 lb fresh mozzerella cheese, thinly sliced and pressed of all moisture between paper towels
1/2 cup caramelized onions
sauce of your choice
fresh or dried basil and oregano
1. Pour warm water in a medium size bowl. Add salt and yeast and stir. Mix in 2 cups of flour. Gradually add more flour until the dough comes together enough for you to start kneading it. Knead for a couple of minutes, add additional flour if it sticks to your hands. Put the dough back in the bowl and drizzle it with olive oil. Cover the entire dough ball with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 450. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornmeal evenly on a pizza stone and set aside.When the dough has risen for 1 to 2 hours, dust the dough with flour and start kneading it. You will need to add quite a bit of flour to keep it from sticking. Knead dough for about 3-5 minutes. Then, gently stretch and shape the dough in to a circle that will fit the pizza stone (about 12-15 inches in diameter). Very gently place the dough on the pizza stone sprinkled in cornmeal. At this point, do not press on the dough.
3. You may now top your pizza. I like to add sauce first, followed by fresh garlic and herbs. Then, I add the vegetables evenly and top it all with a bit of cheese (although sometimes, I don't even add cheese because the vegetables are so great.)
4. Place the pizza in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through. Keep an eye on the pizza, especially if your oven cooks unevenly. Remove the pizza when it's done and let it cool at least 10 minutes to allow the toppings to set before cutting into it.
And as promised... the Roman pizza itself.
...Plus me eating it on a stone wall in Rome. Ahh memories!
For more fabulous food and photos from Nourish The Roots,

To the casual fan, it might not sound a particularly significant development. On Wednesday, at their rather stuffy monthly meeting, the Nevada State Athletic Commission granted both Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather an exemption to fight in 8oz – rather than 10oz – boxing gloves.

American Made 2017 Full Movie Watch Online, American Made is a 2017 American biographical crime film directed by Doug Liman, written by Gary Spinelli and starring Tom Cruise.
ReplyDeleteWatch American Made full Movie 2017 is more interesting as a showcase for the dateless elasticity of Cruise’s star power. It feels, for better or worse, like a film he could have made at almost any point in the last 30 years.
American Made 2017 movie
American Made 2017 movie isn’t a major breakthrough, but it still feels like a career progression for Cruise simply by handing him an intriguing role: Adler Berriman “Barry” Seal, prime mover in one of those just-declassified, you-couldn’t-make-it-up stories that sporadically fall into the hands of grateful producers.

Watch American Made Online also offers some parallels to fictional Tom Cruise projects. We've seen the star have some other airplane trouble recently in The Mummy and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. Meanwhile, American Made's trailer features a scene almost identical to one in last year's Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. In both, Cruise plays a character who is able to successfully taunt police officers with the knowledge that they're going to have to let him go.
Next month, Tom Cruise is reteaming with his Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman for American Made. Based on a true story, the film finds the three-time Academy Award nominee playing the part of Barry Seal, a pilot-turned-drug runner who, in 1984, was recruited to be an undercover CIA informant for one of the biggest drug busts in history. While Seal may not be one of the most virtuous of real life figures, Cruise says that it was Seal's incredible true story that was just too interesting to pass up. Cruise said.
