Saturday Pizzas

I decided I probably had enough things in the refrigerator and pantry that I could make pizza and that we could try using The Big Green Egg.  Pizza was an excellent plan but I didn't look at the weather forecast and yesterday was a rainy, cold, windy day.  Not a day that I was going to man the Egg. 

I found the pizza dough recipe on the King Arthur flour website.  Since I hadn't planned, I used the "Easiest Pizza You'll Ever Make" recipe.  I made the dough, covered it to rise and found something else to do for 2 hours.  I was thinking about toppings. 

Foraging in the refrigerator I found one sauteed chicken breast, some arugula, Asiago cheese with rosemary, Italian blend cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, leftover lemon cream white sauce, one parboiled russet potato and fresh rosemary. In the pantry I found salsa verde, salsa, black beans, and canned tomatoes. 

I decided to make 2 different pizzas and hope one was good.  The first one I spread with salsa verde, then shredded some chicken, sprinkled with black beans, a little cheddar, a little mozzarella.  Looked good.  Tossed it in the oven and 15 minutes later had a beautiful pizza. 

While the first pizza was baking I made the second.  I spread on the lemon white sauce, then thinly sliced potatoes, chopped fresh rosemary, shredded chicken (it was a big piece) some Asiago and a little Italian blend cheese.  Once the first was out the second went in.  We tasted the Mexican pizza and it was great! 

The second came out and it looked good.  Of course we saved room for a taste of it.  It was delicious!  We need to have pizza more often!  It's a great way to clean out the refrigerator. 

So now there is leftover pizza in the refrigerator and 2 balls of dough in the freezer.  Not bad for a blank Saturday menu.
