Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Pizza

Tuesday, January 31, 2017
One of our favorite pizzas is made with fresh sauteed broccoli rabe and you can make this all-vegetarian however, we have some sausage lovers and mushrooms so we made these two different ways to satisfy everyone.

If you're here for the broccoli rabe, then the secret is to saute that in garlic first before proceeding for a fabulous flavored Italian green delight on your pizza.

We also love freshly sliced plum tomatoes on top, however, if you're going to go for a can do get the seeds squeezed out so you don't own it in liquid.

Only use olive oil, and whole milk mozzarella cheese,  however, when you can find buffalo cheese it's the freshest and most delicious.

Adapt this pizza however your family likes it, if you're not fond of this green, use spinach, we just love the homemade dough for this pizza, sauteed broccoli rabe, our homemade sausage and it's a true specialty!

Philadelphia Stuffed Pizza Dough

Thursday, January 19, 2017
Philadelphia Stuffed Pizza Roll is the perfect baked sandwich meal stuffed with that famous Philly cheese steak beef and cheese all rolled and then baked in a delicious Italian pizza dough.

Although you can add anything you prefer to this recipe, we love ours with peppers no onions, provolone cheese, and thinly sliced ribeye leftover ( cooked from a previous meal), or for an easy cheesesteak pizza roll just use deli roast beef.

Sometimes we make several smaller pizza rolls and make all different combinations.

We love ours with provolone cheese in our rolls but you can really use any kind you prefer at all, cheddar, swiss, and Havarti are all delicious!

You may be more familiar with the Italian Sausage Roll, which is another favorite, or Stromboli which is filled with more than one kind of meat.

If you love a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich this all-in-one pizza dough roll will be a favorite way to make that famous sandwich.
