Meatball Pizza
I have to tell you: I feel some type of way about pizza. When I see it on TV, it does something to me, like I'm in love or deep, intense infatuation. I've been known to rewind the DVR to see a pizza cutter crash through a crust or slo-mo the pull of a gooey string of cheese. Yeah. I'm a little obsessed.
What's not obsessive is that I usually leave my refrigerated dough options up to the name brand retailers and focus on premium toppings to satisfy my cravings.
I don't have to do that any more.
Let me introduce you to Wewalka. It's a premium refrigerated dough that "combines authentic European bakery quality with improved convenience."
I'm not familiar with many refrigerated dough brands. I don't make pizza often because I prefer to make my own dough. And I don't always want to wrestle with yeast, measure flour and wait. And wait.
When I was approached about trying out Wewalka, I did a little research and it's a win-win for everyone.
My FAVORITE of the line is the Wewalka Bistro Style Pizza Dough. Thin, easily customizable and in less than 15 minutes, I was eating!
Pizza time, pizza time, pizza time!
Not only is the dough convenient and ready-to-bake from the fridge, it comes on a piece of parchment paper so you don't need a rolling pin (or a pan, I guess)! Score!
Initially, I wasn't thrilled with the impressions left on the dough from when it was rolled up in the package, but as you'll see later, it doesn't really matter.
A little store bought sauce, leaving a little room for crust is the way to go.
Brush that crust with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to bring out the natural flavors of the dough and help that crust stay crispy, crunchy and delicious.
I use a mix of mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheese to make sure my cheese game is strong.

The perfect comfort food! Pizza's just one of those things you never get tired of - at least I don't! :)
ReplyDeleteI love pizza!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Wewalka before. Looks like there are different types of dough to experiment with! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great easy meal.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's giving me a craving! Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but we eat a LOT of pizza in my house. I've never seen this brand before (but I don't normally look for refrigerated dough, either). I'll make a point of looking for it in the future.
ReplyDeletePizza is one of my dessert island foods... honestly, I could eat it all day, every day and never get tired.
ReplyDeleteI also prefer to make my own dough, but sometimes a gal just needs her pizza fix right now. I don't think I've seen Wewalka before, but I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm at the store!
Ok so I need to get my hands on this dough! It looks fantastic. That pizza you made is making me crave pizza like something fierce!
ReplyDeleteThis pizza looks better than our take-out pizza places pizza. Guess it's time to find a new take-out place.
ReplyDeleteLove a good pizza especially if it has meatballs!
ReplyDeleteI make pizza every Friday night for my family! I need to try this dough, it looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteI like to make my own crust too, and almost always do. But this crust looks like it could be a really great option for when we really want pizza but just don't have time to make it from scratch. YUM!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic recipe, I have to admit I am very much stuck in a rut when it comes to Pizza recipes, so I will most definitely be trying this! What are your opinions on perhaps baking a pizza on a BBQ
ReplyDeletehow to make pizza
I saw your video, Nancy! I love putting pizza on the grill. It can be done year round and the smoky flavor of the crust is always a win!
