Beyond the Wall Pizza

Cheese and Tomato Pizza with No Yeast Pizza Dough

We started our Beyond the Wall series with our fast and delicious 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies. Now we'd like to bring you a main course that's quick, easy, and will leave your mouth watering for more.

Here at Cook's Landing we love pizza. Over the years we've perfected that love into a recipe with piles of tomatoes and four kinds of cheese. Of course our impatience to eat the pizza means we don't like waiting for yeast to rise. So instead we use this simple no yeast recipe.

No Yeast Pizza Dough...

Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 20-25 minutes
Makes 2 pizza bases

Ingredients:

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2/3 c milk
1/4 olive oil
2 Tbsp olive oil - to brush on dough

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together ingredients (except 2 Tbsp of olive oil) in a large bowl. In the bowl, gather the dough together and press it into a large ball.

Step 2: Knead dough in the bowl until smooth. Split ball in two and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a roughly 13 inch circle. Place on pizza pan. Turn up the edge and pinch into 1/2 inch ridges to finish your crust. Brush the 2 Tbsp olive over the surface of the dough.

How to decorate the pizza...

You'll need:

Pizza sauce
1 can of dice tomatoes
Italian Seasoning
Crushed Red Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Crumbled feta cheese
2 roma tomatoes
Romano cheese
Provolone cheese
Parmesan cheese

Step 1: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the surface of the dough. With a spoon, scoop out diced tomatoes from the can and cover the surface of the pizza dough, placing a tomato chunk on every 1/2 inch of the dough.

Step 2: Lightly sprinkle Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over the surface of the pizza. Sprinkle feta cheese crumbles over the entire pizza.

Step 3: Slice roma tomato into thin slices and place evenly over the surface of the pizza. Grate the remaining three cheeses and sprinkle over the pizza until the roma tomatoes are only slightly visible beneath. Don't put too much cheese - unless you're a huge cheese fan, and then have fun!

Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pizza looks done (slightly brown on top).

And that's it! A pizza with so much flavor, it'll melt in your mouth. This cheesy tomato pizza will leave you wishing you'd made more.

Beyond the Wall: 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Today we bring you the first recipe in our Beyond the Wall series. We'll be giving you easy-to-make recipes that our fast, no-bake, or low-ingredient. All things that will help you survive in the freezing tundra north of the Wall.

The first of these are our super simple, 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies. The youngest of our troop, and our hand of the kitchen, found herself north of the wall with our dire wolf and in desperate need of food. Luckily she remembered this recipe and was able to whip together something to nibble on. And our dire wolf loves peanut butter. If she hadn't baked these cookies, who knows what would have happened to them...

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 7-10 minutes
Makes: 30 cookies

Ingredients:

1 c peanut butter
1 c granulated sugar
1 egg

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.

Step 2: In a medium sized bowl, thoroughly stir or mix together peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Drop teaspoon sized balls of dough on the parchment paper. Space cookies roughly one inch apart. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are browner than the original dough.

And that's it! Delicious peanut butter cookies with only 3 ingredients. Now keep safe. It's cold beyond the wall, and dessert is coming.
