    CHIT'LIN PIZZA ON A CORNMEAL CRUST


    Source of Recipe


    the web

    List of Ingredients




    1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    1 teaspoon salt

    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    1/2 pound Simmered Chitterlings Country Style with Hog Maw, hog maws removed and reserved for another use

    2 eggs, beaten

    1 cup yellow cornmeal, spooned into a medium-sized bowl

    1/4 cup peanut oil

    Cornmeal pizza dough

    1 cup Pizza Sauce

    6 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese

    1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the flour with the salt and pepper. Cut the chitterlings into pieces, dust in the seasoned flour, dip in the beaten eggs and roll in the cornmeal.

    In a cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot and fry the chitterlings on both sides until they are light brown and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to crowd the pan. Drain the chitterlings on paper towels and set aside.

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

    Lightly oil two baking sheets and dust them with cornmeal. Cut the Cornmeal Pizza Dough in half. Roll each piece into a 9- to 10-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick, then crimp the edges and place on a baking sheet. Top each with pizza sauce, spreading it evenly, and cover with cheese, chitterlings and red pepper flakes. Bake until the cheese melts, about 4 to 6 minutes.

    CORNMEAL PIZZA DOUGH

    1 package active dry yeast

    2 cups warm water

    2 cups all-purpose flour

    1 cup yellow cornmeal

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 tablespoon honey

    2 tablespoons peanut oil

    In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and allow to rest until it is frothy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the flour, cornmeal, salt, honey and oil to the yeast mixture. Beat the dough until it forms a round ball that is dry to the touch. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel and store it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
