    **PIZZA 1, TRADITIONAL BUT IMPROVED**
    A long, soft French-style bread loaf
    mozzarella (I use Galbani whole milk, low moisture string cheese, cut into small pieces)
    grated parmesan
    pizza sauce (I used Pastene 'Kitchen Ready' ground tomatoes mixed with a little olive oil, spices and a pinch of sugar)
    olive oil
    salt
    Heat oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Cut the bread into long boats. Put it on a baking sheet and drizzle heavily with olive oil. Sprinkle on a little salt, get all sides of the bread coated in seasoning and oil, and position them cut-side down. Put the pan in the oven and toast the bread until the cut sides are just starting to brown, 5-10 minutes.
    Take the pan out, flip the bread cut-side-up, top with a thin layer of pizza sauce, a dusting of parmesan, and mozzarella. Use a brush to liberally dab the exposed cut bread surface with water (to keep it from burning), return the pan to the oven and cook until the cheese is melty and brown - I usually turn on the broiler for this part.
    **PIZZA 2, OPEN-FACED PANINI **
    Sandwich-size ciabatta loaf
    mozzarella (I use Galbani whole milk, low moisture string cheese, cut into small pieces)
    grated parmesan
    pizza sauce (I used Pastene 'Kitchen Ready' ground tomatoes mixed with a little olive oil, spices and a pinch of sugar)
    fresh basil or parsley
    butter
    olive oil
    garlic powder
    salt
    Slice the ciabatta into two boats. Heat an oven-safe pan over medium, and put in a big knob of butter. When the butter melts and starts to bubble, sprinkle in a little salt and put in the bread, cut-sides down. Use the bread to mop up all the butter and seasoning in the pan, then press the bread down with a brick or other heavy weight. Cook for a few minutes until the cut sides are just golden brown. Get the broiler (grill) of your oven heating to maximum.
    Remove the weight, flip the bread around so the cut sides are up, dust them with a little garlic powder, and pour a little olive in the pan to fry the bottom sides of the bread. If using an electric resistance coil stove, turn the heat off. If using a gas or induction stove, reduce the heat to low. Top the bread with a thin layer of sauce, some big leaves of parsley or basil, a dusting of parmesan, and mozzarella.
    Use a brush to liberally dab the exposed cut bread surface with water (to keep it from burning), put the pan under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melty and brown.
    **PIZZA 3, TOMATO ORANGE SAUCE, PANCETTA, GREMOLATA**
    A big Italian-style loaf
    mozzarella (I use Galbani whole milk, low moisture string cheese, cut into small pieces)
    grated parmesan
    a shallot
    a can of whole peeled plum tomatoes (I like Muir Glen)
    an orange
    some diced pancetta or similar bacon-like product
    fresh parsley
    1-2 garlic cloves
    olive oil
    garlic powder
    chili flakes
    pepper
    salt
    Start by making the gremolata topping. Zest the orange, peel the garlic and pick a big pile of parsley leaves. Chop all three things into each other until fine. Set aside.
    Make the sauce. Peel and roughly chop the shallot. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the shallots until just starting to brown, stirring constantly. Throw in 2-3 tomatoes, mash them a bit with your spoon, and cook until stuff on the bottom of the pan just starts to brown. Deglaze the pan with the juice of the orange, and take it off the heat. Combine everything with a couple more tomatoes straight from the can and puree smooth. Season with pepper and chili flake. This will give you enough for 2-3 pizzas of the size in you see in the video.
    Slice the bread into large boats that will fit in your biggest oven-safe pan.
    Put the pancetta into your big pan and turn the heat on medium. Let the fat render out and then start stirring when it starts sizzling. When the pancetta seems halfway to being crispy, take most of it out, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Push the remaining pancetta into an area that will match the footprint of the bread, and pour a little olive oil in that area. Put in the bread cut-side down and press it flat with another pan or a brick or some such. Cook until the cut side is just golden brown.
    Remove the weight, flip the bread around so the cut side is up, dust them it a little garlic powder, and pour a little olive in the pan to fry the bottom side of the bread. If using an electric resistance coil stove, turn the heat off. If using a gas or induction stove, reduce the heat to low. Top the bread with a thin layer of sauce, a dusting of parmesan, mozzarella, and the reserved pancetta.
    Use a brush to liberally dab the exposed cut bread surface with water (to keep it from burning), put the pan under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melty and brown. Take the pizza out and sprinkle on the gremolata.

      @bartiz12 Před 3 lety +15

      The first version is the most similar I would say, I have not seen zapiekanka where you fry the bread / bun in fat, let alone smash it to make its consistency much more dense or put water onto it to prevent burning.
      Also, I would say the simplest alternative way to get browned cheese and not burned bread is to get it not only half baked bread from store, kind of like cold garlic bread. Perhaps it is what restaurants in Poland tend to use?

    One of the local grocery stores around here sells fresh pre-made french bread pizzas that you can take home to cook. Their solution for the burning is brilliant. They add the sauce and cheese after they've got the bread like 3/4 of the way cooked, and then they package it. When you buy it, the french bread part ain't fully cooked yet so it finishes to a normal bread done-ness at the same time as the cheese browning.

      All cows are bad for the environment and health, but we eat them anyways because they are tasty. Grass-fed cows still produce methane gas, and even the best-raised cow is high in saturated fat which in the long-term can lead to cardiac complications. Even the meat-packing industry won't argue against these facts; basically consensus.
      Now the fun part is thinking about how to make beef more sustainable, or so yummy that it's worth all the health costs.
