- One of my all time, favorite, quick meals to do.
0:04
And you may say, when I tell you what I'm gonna do,
0:07
"That ain't quick, Paula."
0:09
Well, it really, really is.
0:12
I'm gonna show y'all my family's favorite pizza.
0:17
In fact, I cooked them last night for John and Henry.
0:20
They spent the night with me.
0:22
And when they got through eating, they said,
0:25
"Ginny, that's the best pizza I have ever eaten."
0:29
And let me tell you, they know pizza.
0:32
They've had their share of pizzas
0:35
because they go to a place out on Tybee.
0:38
What is the name of that little restaurant
0:40
that has the best pizza out there?
0:42
- [Teresa] Huc-A-Poo's.
0:43
- Huc-A-Poo's, yes.
0:46
With them having a house out there,
0:48
they go to the beach a lot,
0:50
so they know what good pizza tastes like.
0:53
So I want to share this with y'all today.
0:56
Now I've laid some things out on the board,
0:59
just as an example of what you can put on your pizza,
1:03
you can do bacon, pepperoni, chicken.
1:08
I had a few mushrooms leftover in the refrigerator,
1:12
so I'm going to use those up.
1:14
And I love bell pepper.
1:16
I love a red bell pepper on my pizza 'cause it's so sweet.
1:20
And then I've got my onions.
1:22
And so there's a lot, a lot of choices.
1:27
You can just do a pepperoni.
1:29
And I've got my cheeses that I shredded,
1:32
and this is a medium cheddar
1:36
along with some fresh graded mozzarella.
1:40
And then I've got some Parmesan
1:42
that I'm gonna put on the crust.
1:43
So what makes this so easy y'all,
1:47
and back here...
1:49
back here on the stove, I am pre cooking some hamburger meat
1:56
because we love ground beef on our pizza.
2:01
So I'm going to cook this just a little bit
2:03
to cook some of the grease out.
2:05
Because these cook so quickly if you put it on there raw
2:10
it would make your pizza so greasy,
2:12
and it might not get done enough
2:15
because you can truly do this in under 10 minutes.
2:20
So I'm gonna saute off my onions.
2:22
I'm gonna saute off my red bell pepper.
2:26
And if I was putting bacon on it,
2:28
I would slice my bacon into one inch pieces
2:32
and I would saute that for a little while
2:35
just to help it get on the road to doneness.
2:40
So, I mean, there's so many things you can,
2:42
and this is my sauce that I use.
2:45
I use Rao's Pizza Sauce, and it's just delicious.
2:52
But you can do if you got ranch dressing,
2:56
you can do a white sauce pizza.
2:58
Putting your ranch dressing down on it,
3:00
and it's really good with chicken.
3:03
If you want that kind.
3:05
So there's just so many different things
3:08
that you can make your pizza.
3:11
If you love ham and pineapple,
3:14
you could do a ham and pineapple pizza.
3:17
It's strictly just whatever.
3:21
Whatever your favorite flavors are.
3:24
So I've about cooked this enough.
3:26
I'm gonna saute off our onions and our bell pepper.
3:30
And when I got that sauteed off, I'm gonna come back
3:34
and show you how I put them together
3:36
and what makes the most wonderful crust.
3:41
Okay, so here's what makes this pizza so good, y'all!
3:48
I guess it's pronounced Naan, Naan, Naan bread.
3:55
I don't know if that's right or not, N-A-A-N.
3:58
Well, Jamie turned me on to this bread.
4:03
And for a quick bread for his meals,
4:06
he just throws it in the air fryer just for a second
4:09
and browns it and the children love it too.
4:12
So I thought,
4:14
"You know, this looks just like it would be perfect
4:18
for pizza dough."
4:21
It's thin, but it's got a little thickness to it,
4:24
which is what I like.
4:26
And it comes in different sizes.
4:30
These are the large ones.
4:32
So I'll make both sizes.
4:36
It depends on how many people I'm cooking for.
4:40
And I always cook this in the oven,
4:42
and I cook it, I don't have a pizza stone or anything,
4:45
so I just always cook it on...
4:53
This rack.
4:55
I lay my pizza directly on this.
4:57
So the crust will get really crisp on the bottom.
5:04
So, so easy.
5:05
But today I think I'm gonna cook it in the air fryer
5:09
because it's hot, hot, hot here today.
5:12
And I think it'll just work out
5:15
just as well in the air fryer.
5:18
So this is what I'm gonna do, and remember...
5:23
whatever you like, whatever you like.
5:25
If you had pot roast leftover from dinner last night
5:29
or meatloaf, that would be delicious,
5:32
a delicious way to use up your leftovers.
5:35
All right, so this is where I get started.
5:38
Now I sauteed off the peppers, the onions,
5:41
and the ground beef.
5:43
I decided that I'm going to have enough meat
5:45
so I'm not going to do the bacon.
5:48
But bacon and hamburger meat makeup a crazy delicious pizza.
5:54
So I'm gonna start with my sauce
5:59
and I'm just going to put it,
6:00
and now remember, if you like a white sauce,
6:06
just put your ranch dressing right on top.
6:13
So these are like little individual pizzas.
6:17
These are great because the kids came in here last night
6:21
and I said, "Okay, put whatever you want on it."
6:26
And I start putting a little Parmesan right on the crust.
6:34
Just like that.
6:41
Wish I had some spinach that would be delicious on it.
6:44
And I'm not gonna use the chicken
6:47
because I have enough meat
6:52
because I'm using the ground beef
6:55
and I'm using the pepperoni.
7:00
I'm gonna put some ground beef on it...
7:06
and pepperoni.
7:08
I just love this combination!
7:12
I've never cooked you a pizza have I Eddie?
7:14
- [Eddie] No, you haven't.
7:17
- Well, I can't wait for you to taste it.
7:23
I can't believe I've never made you one,
7:26
'cause Eddie would take most of his meals with us
7:30
when we were all living on the same property.
7:33
But oh, I meant to ask y'all,
7:35
is there anything you two don't like on pizza?
7:40
Y'all like sweet red bell peppers and onions?
7:44
- Yes ma'am! - Okey dokey!
7:47
I'm gonna take care of you!
7:53
So like I said, these cook so quick, y'all...
8:00
that you don't want to put this stuff on raw.
8:07
We want to give it a little head start.
8:11
My problem is y'all, when I'm making pizzas,
8:16
you know, less is more...
8:20
but not really! (laughs)
8:22
I like more!
8:25
All right, so let's see,
8:26
I had these leftover mushrooms last night
8:28
so I'm gonna sprinkle those on it.
8:35
You can put these together, y'all, any way you want to.
8:39
Now I'm gonna put a little cheese,
8:41
but I'm probably going to come back and put some more
8:44
when it's almost done.
8:48
All right, did I get everything on it, Eddie?
8:51
- Looks like it. - Did I miss anything?
8:56
Easy, easy, easy.
9:00
And you know...
9:07
you can have all this sauteed after dinner,
9:13
throw it in the skillet and saute it off
9:19
and have it all ready for your next night's meal.
9:24
So here we go into the air fryer,
9:28
and I've got it heating.
9:31
I've got it preheating 'cause I won't back crust to get,
9:35
whoa, hear that sizzle?
9:38
I like that sizzle a lot!
9:41
Because that means my crust is gonna be crusty.
9:48
All right now, since I'm going to make one more, y'all.
9:55
I'm gonna make one more little one.
9:59
And, anything special y'all want on this one?
10:04
- [Teresa] I've never seen the Naan bread.
10:06
- Oh it out of this world, Teresa.
10:09
It's out of this world.
10:13
- [Teresa] Do you have to cook it before you eat it?
10:14
- I guess you could eat it at room temperature or cold.
10:18
- But it's better crispy? - To me.
10:21
I'll butter it lightly and put it in my air fryer.
10:25
And it's good with whether I'm serving a country meal
10:28
or a grilled chicken salad.
10:31
- [Eddie] So is it like a Sari bread?
10:36
- [Teresa] I want to say it's Indian.
10:38
- Yeah, read up on it.
10:39
- National Geographic. - Pita bread.
10:42
- I'm just telling y'all it's just the best stuff
10:45
you'll ever put in your mouth.
10:46
- [Teresa] It says, "Hand stretched and tandoor oven baked."
10:52
I want to say...
10:56
- Would y'all like chicken on this one or...
10:59
- [Eddie] Sure.
11:01
- [Paula] Okay, I'm gonna put a little chicken.
11:07
- [Teresa] It's an authentic flat bread.
11:10
- It's just the best to me of all of them.
11:13
- It smells wonderful. - It is wonderful.
11:16
- [Eddie] What did the boys put on theirs?
11:19
- They just wanted pepperoni, ground beef, and cheese.
11:24
- [Teresa] That sounds like my husband.
11:25
- Did I put pepperoni on this one?
11:26
I don't think I did.
11:29
See, if you don't watch me, I'll have a (laughs).
11:33
I'll have a mountain of a pizza!
11:39
- [Teresa] You could prep a lot of this
11:41
and just have it in the refrigerator for during the week.
11:44
- [Paula] Or put it in the freezer.
11:45
- [Teresa] Yeah, but I mean like all this,
11:47
you know, your peppers and onions.
11:49
- [Paula] Yeah, so I'm going to put this one...
11:55
- [Teresa] Children could come home and make it themselves.
11:58
I mean like if you just had it all--
12:00
- You could go ahead and cook these
12:04
and put them in the freezer
12:05
or put them in the freezer raw and let them throw it in.
12:12
Oh, I wish we had some spinach
12:14
because then they'd be extra healthy.
12:18
- [Teresa] Who wants healthy?
12:19
(laughing) Just kidding.
12:22
- I like to try it once in a while.
12:23
I didn't preheat this microwave.
12:28
I mean this air fryer.
12:29
So we'll see if it does.
12:34
God, everybody loves pizza!
12:36
Who doesn't love pizza?
12:39
Everybody.
12:40
I didn't put my onions...
12:43
I don't think I put onions on this.
12:46
I was so excited.
12:49
Okay y'all I think this is probably been in the air fryer,
12:53
I cooked it at 430 degrees temperature
12:58
and I just cut it down because look,
13:00
after like six minutes, look at that pizza, would ya.
13:07
Look at that pizza!
13:13
You're gonna have a happy family.
13:16
And I have found, y'all,
13:18
that scissors work almost better than a pizza wheel.
13:27
We'll take those scissors and cut through it.
13:32
Look, Teresa.
13:35
So we'll try it with a...
13:38
With a knife.
13:39
- Nice and crispy! - Yes!
13:43
- [Teresa] And thin, I love thin.
13:45
- Who wants to pull the roof, the skin,
13:48
off of the roof of your mouth?
13:50
- [Teresa] I was thinking not me!
13:52
- Well, I want a bite so bad.
13:58
- [Teresa] What if I do you a small one?
13:59
- Oh no, that's for you.
14:00
I'm doing this one. (laughs)
14:03
Don't give me that small little bite!
14:05
- [Teresa] I was just trying to get it
14:06
so it would cool off a little.
14:07
- Let's take a look at these two over here, Eddie.
14:12
We just put those in, but look how good those are looking.
14:16
Now, this one, I didn't put cheese on it.
14:17
So I have to come back and put some cheese on it.
14:20
I don't know how I forgot the cheese.
14:24
But that ain't no problem.
14:30
So I don't want to hear from y'all on this pizza making,
14:34
because I want to hear...
14:39
all the things that y'all come up with to make this pizza.
14:44
And you know what else you could do?
14:47
You could make this sweet.
14:50
You can butter it, sprinkle it
14:52
with sugar and cinnamon and put nuts and raisins
14:56
and almost have one to cinnamon roll
14:59
with a little glaze on it.
15:00
- [Teresa] Like you were talking about.
15:02
- Yes, it would be so good!
15:05
Okey doke. - Still hot.
15:07
- It's still hot? - Mm hmm.
15:11
- Well, I'm still going in.
15:13
- [Teresa] Be careful.
15:21
This is as good as any pizza crust.
15:24
- Thank you.
15:26
What did you say?
15:27
- [Teresa] This was as good as any pizza crust.
15:31
- It's better than the stuff that they sell as pizza crust.
15:39
Oh hear the crunch?
15:43
(crust crunching)
15:45
- [Eddie] It's that thin crust.
15:48
- I love the edges.
15:54
It's...
15:58
so delicious!
16:04
So y'all jump in!
16:07
- Eddie says, "If you could wrap this up."
16:09
- Eddies going like this.
16:12
Wrap this damn thing up so I can get me some pizza!
16:16
Right?
16:17
All right, one more second.
16:19
Let's go again, Eddie.
16:26
They are ready!
16:28
Now that small one, it probably went near what?
16:31
Maybe four or five minutes.
16:34
And it does take a little longer if you cook it
16:40
in your regular oven, it will take a little longer.
16:43
But in the air fryer, oh, I don't have any heat in here.
16:48
And the quickness and the taste is just delicious!
16:52
- [Teresa] It is delicious.
16:55
And I don't feel that it's as bad for you.
16:58
- It's not because it's homemade.
17:01
(laughing)
17:05
No preservatives, none of that stuff.
17:10
So, I'd like you to let me hear from y'all.
17:17
And tell me that the ideas that you have come up with
17:20
in making your pizza with this wonderful Naan bread.
17:25
- Naan. - Naan.
17:28
Love and best dishes, I got to go eat my pizza right now.
