Tomato-Salami Pizza from Curtis Stone

6 Antworten

It’s Potluck Week at I heart Cooking Clubs. That means we can choose a dish from any of our other IHCC chefs. I fell in love with the Pizza Passion Series from Villeroy & Boch. So it was a must to make pizza and serve it on the pizza platter *. I chose

Tomato-Salami Pizza from Curtis Stone

and served it on that pizza platter. Special markings on the edge of the platter make dividing pizza into eight even slices easy as pie. I used my for over ten years tried and tested pizza dough recipe from King Arthur Flour**06.10.2019. It works well without any improver, dough flavour or cheese powder. I still have some pizza dough left in the fridge, there will be another pizza this week.

You can’t go wrong with that classic topping of salami, tomato and mozzarella. Just a delicous crisp pizza.

Instructions

  1. Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Place a pizza stone on the rack and preheat the oven to 250°C/230°C fan-forced-285°C/265°C fan-forced (as high as possible).
  2. Stretch out dough ball with floured hands, or roll it out on a floured work surface, until it is about 30cm in diameter (the dough does not have to be round). Dust a pizza paddle with flour and place the dough on the paddle.
  3. Working quickly, drizzle and rub 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil over the dough. Sprinkle half of the garlic evenly over the dough and gently rub it into the remaining extra-virgin olive oil. Arrange half of the salami and tomato slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly, on the dough, leaving a 2.5cm-wide border around the circumference. Scatter half of the cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Carefully slide the pizza off the paddle and onto the hot pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden brown on the bottom and the cheese has melted and begun to brown. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board.
  5. Using a pizza cutter or a large knife, cut the pizzas into wedges and serve.

Curtis Stone Website

Instructions

  1. To prepare the prosciutto and Parmesan wafers:
    Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line 2 large baking trays with silicone baking mats or baking paper.
  2. Mound the Parmesan cheese over 1 large baking tray and spread to form a thin oval shape. Lay the prosciutto slices over the second baking sheet. Bake the cheese until it is golden, about 10 minutes. Bake the prosciutto until it is golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the prosciutto to a plate lined with paper towels. Cool the prosciutto and Parmesan wafer completely (the prosciutto and wafer will continue to crisp as they cool).
  4. To prepare the croutons:
    Using a serrated knife, remove the crust from the baguette, then tear the bread into bite-size pieces.
  5. In a large heavy ovenproof sauté pan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bread pieces and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the croutons until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside but still slightly soft in the center, tossing occasionally, about 12 minutes. Alternatively, the croutons can be transferred to a baking tray and baked. Set aside to cool.
  7. To make the dressing:
    In a food processor, finely chop the garlic, anchovy fillets, lemon juice, and egg yolk. Add the Parmesan cheese and mustard and blend well. With the processor on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and the grapeseed oil until the dressing is thick and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If necessary, add enough water to thin the dressing to the desired consistency.
  8. To poach the eggs:
    Bring a large deep saucepan of water to a simmer over medium-high heat and boil the eggs about 5 minutes.Stir in the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl or cup and then gently transfer the egg to the simmering water. Repeat with the remaining 3 eggs. Reduce the heat to medium so that the water simmers gently. Poach the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still creamy, about 3 minutes.
  9. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the eggs from the simmering water and set them on a paper towel or on an end piece of bread to absorb the excess water. Peel eggs and quarter.
  10. To serve:
    In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the lettuce to a large shallow serving bowl or divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Scatter the croutons over the lettuce.
  11. Top with the prosciutto, then the Parmesan wafer (breaking it apart for individual servings), and lastly, the poached eggs. Sprinkle Caesar Salad with Egg,sCrispy Prosciutto, and Parmesan Wafer with freshly ground black pepper and serve.
