Lasagna Pizza~

Sometimes the hardest decision of the day is figuring out what you're going to have for dinner. Chicken or steak? Pizza or lasagna? Trust us, we get it. So, to make your life just a teensy bit easier, we made you a pizza that combines not one, but two of your favorite dishes into one mouth-watering masterpiece. Meet the lasagna pizza.

Ingredients of the crust for lasagna pizza:

• 1 package of active dry yeast,
• 1 tablespoon of sugar,
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil,
• 2 ½ cups of bread flour,
• 1 cup of warm water (50°C),
• liberal dashes of salt and pepper,
• 1 tablespoon of oregano.

Ingredients of the toppings for lasagna pizza:

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil,
• ½ cup of marinara sauce,
• 7.5 ounces of part-skim ricotta,
• ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese,
• ¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese,
• ¼ medium onion; sliced,
• 3 pieces of cloves garlic; minced,
• liberal dashes of salt and pepper,
• fresh basil.

Instructions for lasagna pizza:

1. At first pre-heat your oven to 190°C. Grease a pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the yeast, water and sugar together. Let sit for 10 minutes or until foamy. Add in the flour, olive oil, salt and pepper and oregano. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until elastic, or about 8 minutes.
4. Place the dough on the pizza sheet and roll (with a floured rolling pin) until about 1/4-inch thick.
5. Spread the olive oil over the crust and add the sauce. In a shallow bowl, mix together the ricotta and mozzarella. Press spoonful of the ricotta mixture on top of the tomato sauce, covering the pizza but still leaving some patches. Cover with olive slivers, garlic and Parmesan.
6. Lastly, garnish with additional salt and pepper and basil. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted :) :)
