That will be fun MJ. iVe had a similar dinner gathering and it was great fun. We had people trying new things and creating interesting things.
Just flicking through an Italian cookbook and a couple of recipes/toppings jumped out at me:Balsamic Pizza with Pumpkin & Fetta Whisk together 1/3 cup balsamic dressing, 2 crushed garlic cloves and 1 egg. Mix into 1 cup sifted SR flour and knead to form a soft dough. Roll out and spread with tomato paste. Fold 10 slices of salami in half, pinching edges tightly. Arrange over pizza and top with 1 cup shaved butternut pumpkin and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. When cooked, crumble 100g soft fetta over pizza and serve.Red Onion Pizza with MozzarellaCaramelised red onions: peel and cut 3 red onions into wedges. Melt 60g butter over low-medium heat and add onions, turning occasionally until softened. Sprinkle over 1 tbsp brown sugar and 2 tsp balsamic vinegar and cook for a further minute or until onions are caramelised.Pizza: Combine 1/3 cup tomato paste and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and spread over a prepared pizza base. Top with torn prosciutto, caramelised red onions and pan juices from caramelising onions. Bake at 180 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with mozzarella and allow to stand for a few minutes until cheese is slightly melted.Pizza Roma with Rocket and ParmesanCook 1 small, sliced red onion in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat until tender. Add 2 crushed garlic cloves, 450g lean beef mince and 6 thin, chopped salami slices. Cook until the mince is browned all over, making sure to break up any lumps. Stir in 140g tomato paste, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves and 4 tbsp water. Set aside to cool. Prepare pizza base and spoon cooled meat mixture over dough. Top with 3 tbsp pine nuts and bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Serve topped with shaved parmesan and fresh rocket leaves.
