Pizza Time! Part Deux
Long ago when we were young, the esteemed Wolfe3D visited this blog & showed us how to make delicious homemade pizza! That recipe makes 4 pizza’s worth of dough from scratch. This week I’ll be showing you 2 wonderful recipes you can make with that dough! (You could also make these recipes with store-bought pizza dough if you like.) These recipes are great if you are out of pizza toppings or not in the mood for pizza (which I have been assured happens, although I don’t quite believe it.) Each recipe uses 1 pizza’s worth of dough
Fougasse
Fougasse is kind of like French focaccia. Back in the days when wood-fired ovens were cutting-edge technology, fougasse was used as a sort of “test loaf” to make sure the oven was the right temperature for further baking. This recipe is super easy, delicious, & fast! It is also highly customizable; I tend to make it with whatever I have on hand. Even if all you have is pizza dough & olive oil this makes a delicious bread!
Baked Fougasse
Ingredients
- One pizza dough
- Olive oil
- Dried or fresh herbs, finely grated cheese, or sea salt (optional)
Unbaked Fougasse
Instructions
- Shape the pizza dough like a leaf, then use a sharp knife to make the slashes for the leaf’s veins.
- Pull the cuts further apart than I did so they stay open while baking.
- Let rest for 20 minutes
- Brush generously with olive oil
- Sprinkle on any toppings- keep it light!
- Bake 20 minutes at 425 F (220 c)
- It is common to brush on even more oil after the fougasse comes out of the oven. I tend to skip this step.
- This bread cools quickly!
Scallion Pancake Bread
This bread is everything you love about scallion pancakes, in a delicious loaf of bread. I like to say it’s healthier due to being baked instead of fried, but eating the entire loaf in one sitting probably negates that. Worth it!
Baked Scallion Pancake Bread
Ingredients
- One pizza dough
- Toasted sesame oil
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Scallions (green onions), sliced
Instructions
Unrolled Scallion Pancake Bread
- Stretch out the dough, brush with toasted sesame oil, sprinkle on sesame seeds and lots of green onions. Roll tightly into a long skinny log.
Rolled Scallion Pancake Bread
- Curl dough into a spiral
- Let rest 30 min
Ready to bake!
- Brush on more sesame oil and seeds and a little salt.
- Bake 35 min @ 400 F (205 c)
- Bake until very nicely browned; stuffed dough bakes slow!
- Give this bread a good long time to cool
Enjoy!
