Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

Dough:

• ¼ cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Toppings:

• 6 ounces low moisture mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup no salt added canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 leaves fresh basil, torn

Directions

1. Make the dough: Pour warm water into a large bowl, then sprinkle yeast over the top. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in cold water and salt. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time until incorporated.Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
2. Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.Dotdash Meredith Food StudiosDotdash Meredith Food Studios
3. Divide in half and form into two tight dough balls. Coat with olive oil and refrigerate in a sealed container for at least 16 hours. Be sure to use a big enough container to allow dough to rise.Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
4. Make the pizzas: Remove dough from the refrigerator one hour prior to using.
5. Preheat the oven, with a pizza stone on the lowest rack, to 550 degrees F (288 degrees C). Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour.
6. Prepare the first pizza: Lightly dust one dough ball with flour and stretch gradually until about 14 inches in diameter, or about the size of the pizza stone. Place on the floured peel.Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
7. Lay 1/2 of the mozzarella on the crust, then sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon oregano and 1/8 teaspoon pepper over the top. Randomly arrange 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes over the pizza, leaving some empty areas, then drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over top.Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
8. With a quick back and forth jerk, make sure dough will release from the peel easily. Place the tip of the peel at the back of the preheated pizza stone, and remove the peel so that the pizza is left on the stone.
9. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
10. Slide the pizza onto the peel and remove from the oven; then slide off the peel onto a work surface. Sprinkle 1/2 of the basil leaves randomly over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve.Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Make dough: Pour warm water into a large bowl; dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Mix in flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 8 minutes.
5. Place dough in a well-oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
6. Set aside to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down; knead in garlic and basil. Set aside to rise for 1 more hour, or until doubled again.
7. Meanwhile, make garlic oil: Combine 1/2 cup olive oil with minced garlic in a microwave-safe cup or bowl. Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave.
8. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat; brush the grate with garlic oil.
9. Make pizzas: Punch down dough and divide in half. Form each half into an oblong shape 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.
10. Carefully place one piece of dough on the hot grill. Dough will begin to puff almost immediately. When the bottom crust has lightly browned, turn dough over using two spatulas.
11. Working quickly, brush garlic oil over crust.
12. Top with 1/2 of each of the following: tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, olives, red peppers, cheese, and basil.

Ingredients

1/2x1x2x

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 8 cups peanut oil for frying
• 14 ounces ground chuck
• 4 thick slices American cheese
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot ®)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 medium sesame seed burger buns
• ½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 2 thick slices tomato
• 2 tablespoons diced onion
• 1 tablespoon pickle slices
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 2 teaspoons ketchup
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. Cut potatoes in 1/2-inch wide strips. Place in a large bowl filled with warm water and soak for 20 minutes.
2. Pour oil in a Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack on top.
3. Drain potatoes well and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Add 1/2 of the dried potatoes to the hot oil and cook, stirring often, until they soften slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove potatoes to the wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Maintain oil temperature at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for finishing fries just before serving.
4. Divide ground chuck into 4 portions and flatten to form 1/4-inch thick patties.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add burger patties to the hot skillet and cook undisturbed, until a brown crust has formed around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, press down with a spatula to flatten, and cook for 2 more minutes. Flip again, press down once more, then top each patty with a slice of cheese; cook for 1 minute.
6. While the burgers cook, spread mustard and ketchup on bottom halves of the buns. Drizzle hot sauce on the top halves of the buns, then spread mayonnaise over top. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and onions.
7. Invert 1 patty onto a second patty so the cheese sides are touching. Repeat with remaining 2 patties. Place a stacked patty onto each top bun, and cover with a bottom bun, condiment-side down. Wrap burgers in foil.
8. Return fries to the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with burgers.
