Crockin Girls Pizza - from Crockin Girls Slow Cookin Companion Cookbook

Crockin Girls Pizza

This recipe can be found in the Crockin Girls Slow Cookin Companion Cookbook (pg 316-317).

Did you know you could make pizza in the crockpot?!?! Yep, you can... and it's good!

I didn't follow the all the ingredients listed in the recipe because I didn't have all of them but I followed the general concept.

The players... Can of pizza dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheese (pizza blend) and of course the Crockpot! And don't worry I didn't use all that sauce and pepperoni, it will be split up and put into the freezer to have quick meals at hand.

I used half of the pizza dough (I don't like huge thick crust) and a cup of pizza sauce.

Completely layered with Pepperoni

And the cheese!

Cook on HIGH for 2 hours!

Homemade Chicken Fajitas Pizza (or Good Basic Pizza Crust for Bread Machines)

First the crust: 
(I made my dough in the bread machine. This recipe was given to me from Annie's Granny who adapted it from the CDKitchen for Pizza Dough-Bread Machine).


1 cup plus 2 tablespoon of water (110 degrees)
1 teaspoon sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons of active dry yeast (I use yeast for bread machines)


Put yeast in the bottom of the bread pan, and add the warm (110F) water to it.  Add the sugar. Let this yeast mixture set for about ten minutes, or until it begins to bubble up.

Add the remaining ingredients.

2 tablespoons oil

3 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon salt

Use the DOUGH CYCLE for your machine. My machine takes 1-1/2 hours but it is so worth the wait.

This recipes make two 12-inch regular pizza crusts or one 16-inch deep dish crust. (I make the 16-inch crust.)

Next - Pizza toppings: 

Crisco

Chicken fajitas

Monterrey Jack cheese - 2 cups, grated

Just before dough cycle is complete. Use Crisco to grease the pizza pan. When dough cycle is complete, with greased hands spread the pizza dough out in the pan. Then add chicken and finally cheese.

Bake in 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes.

 

Finally - Garnish: 

sour cream

salsa

Garnish as desired.

You can easily change this recipe to make the pizza of your choice. I have used pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. I look forward to creating veggie pizza when I start to harvest from my garden this summer.

Enjoy,
