I have shared A LOT of pizza recipes over the years.  So many, in fact, that Pizza has its own page in my recipes file. If you go to that page you will find links to all of the pizza recipes I have made.

When my Danish son and his family came to visit this past fall, and I was planning the menu for while they visited, I remembered that his teenage self LOVED cheeseburgers and pizza.  This made me recall a recipe I shared with you back in January of 2014.  It was the first pizza that I made after resolving to make and share a pizza each month of the year.

This recipe makes enough dough for 2 pizzas.  You can freeze one for later use or make a second pizza.  I made a pepperoni pizza as I wasn't sure what the little one's tastes were.

When I looked back at the recipe, I noticed the format I used back then was no longer printable, so I rewrote it so you now have a printable recipe.

Ingredients

Dough
  • 1 c. warm water (100-110*)
  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast
  • 1 t. honey
  • 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
  • 1/2 c. bread flour
  • 1 t. kosher salt
  • 2 T. olive oil
Toppings
  • 1 lb. ground beef

  • 1/2 c. miracle whip
  • 1 c. shredded cheese ( I use a Colby/Jack blend)

Instructions

Pizza Dough
  1. Combine water, yeast and honey in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 min. or until foamy.
  2. Combine the flours and salt in a large bowl of a stand mixer. Add yeast mixture and oil. Mix on low speed with a dough hook until blended. Dough should be smooth and spring back to the touch.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball, place into an oiled bowl, turning the ball of dough so all sides are coated. Cover with a towel dampened with warm water and place in a warm area. Allow to rise until doubled in size, approx. 1 hour.
  4. Divide dough in half. Wrap half in plastic and place in freezer for another day. Cover the other half of the dough with a damp towel until ready to use.
Cheeseburger Pizza
  1. Place a baking stone into a cold oven. Preheat oven to 500*.
  2. Season ground beef with salt and pepper and brown in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel.
  3. Whisk together Ketchup and Mustard, set aside. Combine lettuce and tomatoes in bowl. Whisk miracle whip and dill relish together.
  4. Place the ball of dough onto a floured surface and roll into a 14" circle. Place on a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal.
  5. Spread the ketchup/mustard mixture onto the pie crust leaving a 1/2" border. Top the sauce with the ground meat and cheese. Slide pizza onto the baking stone and bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is brown.
  6. Remove from oven. Top with the lettuce and tomatoes, drizzle with dill pickle sauce.

  3. Okay, now I have two non-hamburger hamburger recipes on my list to make because I've BEEN wanting to make hamburger soup as well for literally AGES. Great way to tell your Danish son you remember his tastes well! Lovely tribute to his time with you, Wendy.
