fried pizza (pizza fritta)

I have just tried these fried pizzas (from the book) and they were absolutely gorgeous. I added on some of them mushrooms fried with "cominhos" (I don't know the english word, this one is portuguese), garlic and salt, with some white wine at the end. I was very happy with the outcome.

good one karen ;)

Don't think I want to eat anything that's been in the Avon!

Hi there! for all the users on this website that want to cook a fast and easy to make pizza, you can use pitta bread instead of the pizza base. Pop it in the avon for a few min to get it crispy, take it out, top it with whatever toppings you like and put it back in the avon for a bit longer, depending on the toppings you use. It usually takes 10 to 15 min alltogether. Ive tried it with tuna, cheddar, mozzarella, salami, olives, peppers, tomato sauce, sweetcorn, etc. it's delicious! And it saves you the time it would take for making and baking the pizza dough. Don't worry to get creative about your topping and good luck with it! And enjoy!!!

how long does this take to cook?

This pizza is awsome and so are all the other recipes!!

This pizza is absolutly amazing, i am a big fan of yours and i love your recipes.

I have always done my home made pizza bases like this!!

Not only do they taste great, but they are less messy and cook a lot quicker.

This is great. I'm looking for more tasty lunches. Hint hint hint.

oliver hello, I speak of Portugal hope to have read my message, much like to see your programs, and I think you cook a versatile, functional. I am also fascinated by plants and herbs. One day I wanted to make a recipe with you here in portugal in my restaurant, a typical Portuguese dish. Is it possible to get your site translated into Portuguese.

My site is www.quintadesantiago.net

I do cook a bit and I would like to take a cooking course with JO. Possible? I would travel to London or elsewhere and stay the time needed for that purspose. thank you for your time.

Hi, Recently I founded your cooking program in the air, which has been suspended for almost a year. Don't feel shock about it since I am from China and less opportunity to see your program in TV. Definitely your foods are fantastic even though I have not chance to have a bite. I enjoy your cooking process as well and especial your expression with surprise or satisfaction, like the one you found the burnt onion in the barbecue, but turned out to be thankful for the sweet taste inside. It is rarely seen the spices you widely used in China, the oregano, the basil which I never seen here. But I appreciated your creation and passion to food and cooking. And you inspire me to how to utilize my handy materials to make my food more palatable. Millions thanks to you. The last, I envy you for such an easy place at the country to live in. It is my dream.

I watched one of Jamie's shows not long ago and he did a recipe with sausages, spagetti and tomato sauce which he called (I think) quick italian meat balls (he squished the meat out of the sausages) - it looked great and I need to know what exactly goes in the sauce so that I can make this for my family (who love pasta!).

Thanks

This site definitely needs a "search" facility. At the moment, it takes ages to find the recipe you want. Thanks.

i think there should be a picture with the recipe to show us how it looks like

hi jamie! i want a recipe of pasta not rice with red sauce includes currants like sicilian ones. thanks marisa

PIZZA I LOVE PIZZA I TRIED THIS RECIPE AND IT WORKED IT WAS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
GO JAMIE I DON'T CARE WAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK YOUR RECIPES ARE GREAT!!!!
YAY
HUGS

OMG!! While I have not been to Italy to try these, I have had a dessert version of this. Instead of topping these with sauce and cheese, try dusting them with powdered sugar. My Gramp used to take us to this Italian Festa in Watertown, MA every year and they made the Pizza Frita with the powdered sugar, and they were amazing.

eu adorei a ideia da pizza com uvas e alecrim.

La pizza es una pasada, me gusta y lo hare esta noche. Saludos a todos

Perfect!! I made it and it was delicious!! :) I'm only 14 years old and I love cooking! I wanna tell you that you're great cook ! ;) I watch you all the time. ;)

hey jamie! big fan of yours btw.

i took your fried pizza base idea and topped it with a fried mushrooms, onion, garlic, bacon, lemon juice, chive mixture, and covered with mozarella. much, much, much better than the original 'mushrooms on toast' and your fried pizza bases were just the right thing!

Hey
Ive Made This Pizza At School
i Messed it Up Lol Hahaa
Damn
But i Do Love Cooking

I am a huge fan of yours. Your cooking is simple and the end result looks fantastic. Your enthusiasm in the kitchen is infectious. Love to visit!

i think that this website is too sefisticated and i think that very dish is too complicated

Your amazing, can you cook me something?

jackie, in answer to your question about flour, yes you can use all purpose flour for pizza dough, I do all the time and it works just fine for me.

if you have 'Jamie's italy " book try the fried ricotta with salsa - once you make them you won't go back - I'm not vegetarian but who needs meat when these taste soooo good!!!

Hi Jamie, i love your show and I love how you make me want to get into the kitchen and try out some of your recipes. Problem is, for the pizza dough, where I come from, we do not have bread dough, instead what we have is all purpose flour, gram flour, self raising flour (the type that you do not need to add any baking powder to it). Can I use the all purpose flour instead and add the yeast etc to make a pizza dough?

oooh your food variety, and passion you put into it just makes me want to cook all day! you've changed me as a cook and a person also. keep up the splendid work!!
...and we have the same name!

this recipe is great.................... not

Really Jamie, you made cooking great fun for me. Sometimes I don't have all the ingredients I need, but you have inspired me to try something new then and most of the time that works out fine too!
I especially like your book "Jamie's Italy". Even just looking at the pictures is inspiring.
You are doing a great job!

hey guys.........
i have posted lke a gazilian comments on this site but i have to highlight this one.....
i love the jamie italy cook book
sooooooooooooo........i love this recipe with alll my heart and i have tried it out and it works..trust me!
any way thats it.

hi jamie! im a big fan of yours. im from the philippines. ive watched your show on cabletv. you are truly amazing, you inspire us newly chefs here. goodluck in everthing.. how i wish i could really meet you. take care always.

Hi, I'm from Barcelona. I first got interested on your cuisine watching a documentary on Biography channel, now I love your book and today I am going to start making fresh pasta. I wish we could watch your program here in Spain!

Vancouver Canada LOVES Jamie Oliver! Rockn'row!

Like everything else created by Jamie this disk floats in olive oil. Basically i don’t understand how anyone could stay just remotely slim living on the diet, which has been/ is shown on television (a "little olive oil" or "a spoonful" is followed by something like a deciliter pored into the frying pan). This recipe is amazing in a western world of eternal strive for slimness and prevention of fat-induced heart problems. I would love for a recepe book with totally low-calory dishes. Or maybe an explanation as to how little of each (normal )Jamie-Oliver dishshes one should eat in order not to exceed average supply of calories.

Faithfully yours,
Carin

MMMmm how do you make such lovley food

I LOVE YOUR RECIPES
ESPECILLY YOUR
BACON PASTA.

i've tried this recipe a few times now. i don't have a stone oven so frying the base helps get a really uniqe base. it also means if your bases aren't always brilliant it disguises that a little. a tip. it's important you roll the base really thin cos frying it seems to expand the base more then normal. it's also good for frozen dough.
rocknroll

I love the idea of fried pizza - It looks delish!

You are my greatest inspiration! I love your shows and what you are doing to prevent the english food culture from being flushed down the toilet - thumbs up!

- love Jakob, Denmark.

jamie you are wonderful with your creations, simple yet amazing. You inspire me in the kithen with my cooking my family and i thank you for the wonderful food i am now able to cook.
