French Bread Pizza Burgers

 

1 large loaf (1 pound) French bread

1 lb. extra lean ground beef or ground round

1 t. dried Italian seasoning

1/2 t. garlic salt

1/4 t. ground black pepper

3 T. finely chopped onion

1 can (4 oz.) mushroom stems and pieces, drained and chopped

1/2 C. pizza sauce

1 can (2 1/4 oz.) sliced ripe olives, drained

8 slices (8 ounces) mozzarella cheese

2 roma or plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Additional pizza sauce for dipping (optional)

Cut French bread in half lengthwise. Set aside.

In mixing bowl, combine beef, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, pepper, onion, mushrooms and the 1/2 cup pizza sauce

Divide meat mixture in half and spread over each length of French bread. Be careful to spread meat right up to crusts to prevent bread from burning under broiler. Place on broiling pan and broil 6 inches from heat; meat should be browned and completely cooked. Test doneness with fork to make sure beef is cooked through to top of bread. Return to broiler if any pink remains. Total cooking time will be about 5 to 8 minutes.

Sprinkle meat with olives. Cut squares of cheese in half to form triangles and arrange decoratively over top of olives. Arrange tomato slices over cheese. Place loaves back under broiler until cheese melts and lightly browns, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from broiler and sprinkle with fresh basil. Cut each loaf into 4 pieces for individual sandwiches or 2-inch slices for appetizers. Serve with additional pizza sauce, if desired.

Stuffed Florentine Pizza

1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup warm water (120º F to 130º F)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup (4 oz.) mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 slightly beaten egg
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 pkg. (3-1/2 oz.) sliced pepperoni
1 can (2 oz.) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1/4 cup sliced pitted ripe olives, optional
1 slightly beaten egg
1 TB Parmesan cheese, grated
2 TB cooking oil

In a large bowl combine 1-1/4 cups of the all purpose flour, the yeast, and
the salt. Add warm
water and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds,
scraping bowl constantly.
Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon stir in whole wheat flour and
as much of the
remaining flour as you can. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead in enough remaining
flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8
minutes total). Divide dough
in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Grease a 13" pizza pan. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough
into a 13-inch circle.

Transfer one circle to pizza pan. Build up edges slightly. Sprinkle with
mozzarella cheese. Set aside.

Pat spinach dry with paper towels. Combine spinach, 1 slightly beaten egg,
and the 1/4 cup Parmesan
cheese. Spread spinach mixture over mozzarella cheese.

Top with pepperoni, mushrooms, and, if desired, ripe olives.

Brush edge of dough with some of the remaining slightly beaten egg. Top with
second circle of
dough. Pinch edges to seal. Score edges with a knife, if desired. Cut 14 to
16 slits, about 1" long,
in top crust for steam to escape.

Brush crust with the remaining egg and sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon
Parmesan cheese.

Bake in a 375º F., oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through.
