Let me just put it out there that well I have clearly been loving all the pumpkin… BIG TIME. In real life, meaning my not so exciting life, I may be loving pizza twice as much. Especially a charred brussels sprouts pizza, because brussels sprouts truly are one of my favorite foods! But it’s cool, cause October happens to be national pizza month…meaning eating all pizza, ALL the time is completely acceptable. As if I needed an excuse… sheesh. So lets talk about this pizza. I’ve done a lot of things with brussels sprouts. Way back in the day I made some crazy awesome fettuccine, and then some Thanksgiving inspired nachos (YUM – these have brie!). I’ve also made: brussels sprout mac + cheese, salad, spaghetti, egg rolls and of course this year’s ramen soup! I told you, I LOVE brussels spouts.
You know what’s weird though? I have yet to put brussels sprouts on a pizza. I have seen it done many times over the years but have yet to actually try it myself. I know, craziness… I mean, what was I thinking?!? Do you see this pizza?? All pizzas should have charred brussels. No really, I don’t mess around with my pizza, I think you guys know this. You know who else does not mess around with pizza? DeLallo Italian Foods! One of my all time favorite Italian food brands that I honestly use in my kitchen on a daily basis. In case you where wondering – their olive oil is superb. Anyway, today I have partnered with DeLallo to bring you this pizza. See DeLallo got all genius on us and created an Italian Pizza Dough Kit that’s so simple, all you need is the kit + water. It really doesn’t get any easier, and the dough tastes like it’s straight from your Italian grandma’s kitchen. Well, I don’t have an Italian grandma, so I cannot say that for sure, BUT I can say that this kit creates one amazing crust and I am so excited to show you guys how to use it today!
Like I said, the dough is so easy to make. You just need water and a bowl. Mix it all up and let it rise…simple, right? Yes! And while that dough is rising, you can get to work on your toppings. They’re all pretty easy, you’re really just caramelizing some brussels sprouts in a skillet, grabbing some pesto, provolone + fontina cheese and browning some butter + sage. I have found that pizza doesn’t need a ton of topping to be amazing, just a few key ingredients and you’re good to go! Then you just throw everything together, let the pizzas bake, brown some butter (I’ll get to this in a minute), drink a glass of wine… and then eat fresh delicious pizza! Relaxing Sunday night, right?? Totally.
Okay, so lets talk about this browned sage butter pizza topping. I know it seems like a bit much, BUT… I’m not asking you to add a whole stick of butter or anything… just a little drizzle goes a LONG way. Trust me, you really want this butter, it adds incredible flavor. And the fried sage… it adds color and seasoning that I know you’ll love!! Bottom line, don’t skip the butter… or the sage. Mmm, k?!? Cool. Oh, or the prosciutto…another pizza topping favorite of mine!
And the fun part, another video! You guys have to let me know what you think of these videos. Are you into them? Any suggestions for me? Any videos you’d like me to do? Do you hate them? What you think? I personally love this video, because um… it shows you all how to make this delicious pizza! This pizza is everything your Sunday night needs. Just telling it like it is… And now, video time!! DeLallo Pizza! from Half Baked Harvest on Vimeo.
Making Sunday Pizza a tradition. <–DO IT.
