White Pizza with Portabella Muschrooms

I don't normally like vegetarian pizza. But this is filling and delicious. Try this and you won't even notice that there isn't meat on it.

Ingredients:
Pizza dough
2 portabella mushroom caps
2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
lots of garlic
1 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions:

1. First, the white sauce: Mix 1/4 cup olive oil with about 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teapoon oregano, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Add about 2 cloves of crushed garlic. Stir and let sit. This can sit days if you want. But an hour is probably the minimum for it to infuse the olive oil with flavor.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
3. On a piece of foil put a small bulb of garlic. Let this roast for about 20-30 minutes.
4. Stretch out your dough on a pizza sheet. Poke holes in it with a fork to prevent big bubbles.
5. Cook dough for 5 minutes at 450 degrees.
   
6. Remove dough from oven and set aside.
7. Saute portabella mushrooms in olive oil until tender.
8. Now assemble the pizza.
9. Evenly spread the infused olive oil over the pre-cooked dough.
10. Spread about 2 cups of freshly grated mozzarella on the pizza.
11. Add the mushrooms, roasted garlic, and feta cheese. You can also add some Parmesan.
12. Cook pizza for 7 minutes on a pizza pan.
13. Then cook for an additional 3 minutes with the pizza directly on the oven rack.
14. Enjoy!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

This pizza is a classic! It's great with thin or regular crust and makes great left-overs.

Ingredients:
Pizza Dough
BBQ Sauce (I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, but just choose one you like)
Red Onion (caramelized, I do this by putting the diced onion in my cast-iron pan with about 3 tbl of olive oil. This takes about 20-30 minutes. You can put raw onion on instead if you like, but the caramelized onion gives the pizza a nice smokey flavor.)
Chicken (cooked)
2 Cups mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Make pizza dough.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
3. Spread dough out on your pizza pan.
4. Pre-cook dough for 4-5 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and cover dough with bbq sauce.
6. Place chicken liberally over the pizza.
7. Cover with mozzarella cheese.
8. Rough chop your cilantro.
9. Sprinkle the cilantro over the pizza.
10. Add some Parmesan cheese.
11. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are browning.
12. Enjoy!
